I forgot to keep an eye on him. Breida ran well on us, but wondering how Richburg looked last night.

from the Simpsons in my head when I read the title.

In 10 years on the job.. how sad is that

but so glad Giants didnt sign him to a long term contract.

Almost as sad as ripping off senior citizens

was that they put him at RG and Iupati at LG.

I'm not surprised and it seems like the Giants made the right decision, but I definitely feel bad for the guy. Has always been a good teammate and I'm sure this is incredibly frustrating for him.

what it was this time...

than Justin Pugh laughing it up on the sidelines in street clothes while the Giants were getting their asses kicked. I bet he was thrilled to hear his offseason starts today.

The Cardinal's OL was one of the few worse than the Giants.

LOL

"Stabalize" and have no ragrets.

But I admit shaking my head.

scheme for himself now. Outside zone, get the DLine moving laterally.

He had no chance in McAdoo’s “uproot the DTs when they know a dive up the middle is coming” approach.

And...like Pugh...the inevitable injury. He still looks like he’s 280 max.

Very happy the Giants didn’t sign this guy. Very telling that NYG or Jax with Coughlin had very little interest in him. Maybe it’s bad luck but he always seemed soft to me. Guy was never available to play and that’s a killler as a lineman.

they say no one is injury prone, but it seems that way with certain players. Sucks for him, but I'm happy we didn't sign him. It was our best offseason move.

his right knee when Bobby Hart missed his block and then did a mid air dive into the knee.
Now he has injured his left knee. With all of his other injuries I bet he retires after only about 8 years in the league. He will be out of the league by 2021, IMHO

by Reese I recall BBI losing it over his short arms

I wish him well tho''

This is 100% i hated they hit kept getting hurt glad he got a good contract elsewhere but that always stuck with me

The more they stay the same.

Pretty appropriate for this fucking guy.

Pugh is known for two things: 1) always talking & 2) always injured.

I feel bad for Pugh. The giants made the right decision not bringing him back, but the guy plays hard, tries hard, and has given his body to the game.

A long term deal for Pugh given his injury trajectory was a huge risk. It is fortunate for us, we didn't take that risk, but I would like to see Pugh be successful.

I thought he was a good giant.

and Justin Pugh is on IR

He was a pretty good player for us when healthy, and played any position asked of him without complaint.

I'm glad we didn't re-sign him, but I don't get the vitriol.

Agree with this.

Petty sniping by infantile pseudo-fans.

of any player.

Pugh plyed fairly well for Giants, although probably not consistently commensurate with his draft status. Injury bug was legitimate concern re: not re-signing him.

When he started his rookie year in 2013 I thought we had something.

After that it seemed like nothing but injuries and constant talking while he never took his game to the next level.

Last year, the season might have gotten off to a different start if the Giants had opened camp with him at T (left or right). He was easily their best lineman. Another personnel botch job from that front office/coaching staff.

but was very pleased the Giants chose to move on.

"pfffft, figures"

I have absolutely nothing against Justin Pugh the player.

He was a good player for us...he played hard when he could and it's not like he gets hurt on purpose.

There is no way I'm going to feel happy that Pugh got a season ending injury to his knee.

Not what I'd call a dominant force on our line, and I didn't have any problems with letting him go. But I find it odd that anyone would feel some kind of schadenfreude about this.

Never happy to see a player get hurt - but moving on from Pugh was the right decision and I'm really glad we did. He just doesn't stay on the field.
