The rest of the Giants should find out where Justin Pugh does his furniture shopping. Whatever is in Pugh’s couch seems to have done the trick.
Pugh, who was a free agent before reuniting with the Giants less than two weeks ago, came “off the couch,” as heGoing against the best pass-rushing group in the league, his performance helped spark the unit’s best showing as a whole.
Playing in his first game since Week 6 last year, Pugh had 38 pass-blocking snaps at left tackle, a position he hadn’t played since 2017.That pressure rate allowed — 7.9 percent — marks the lowest any Giants left tackle has recorded this season.Regardless, Pugh made a case he should start at left tackle until Thomas is healthy.
“Pugh came in, I don’t know when’s the last time he played a football game but he played a damn good football game,” receiver Darius Slayton said after the game. “At left tackle, the hardest position to play. The offensive line, they’ve been getting killed by people on the outside for the last four weeks, they came out and fought their ass off.”Quarterback Tyrod Taylor was pressured on just 6.
McKethan had been benched prior to the game, and had even practiced this week at tackle with how depleted the unit is before being thrust into guard.It also moved Bredeson to center, a position he hardly practiced at during the offseason. With Thomas and Schmitz unlikely to return for next week’s clash against the Commanders and their daunting pass rush, the Giants will likely return to the same configuration.
