Live in NYC, and the New York media has been vocal about Justin Pugh today.
The veteran OL was out of football, and on-the-street. Pugh was not with any team this off-season, or in any training camp this summer. He was done. The Giants have been decimated by injuries to their OL this season ... starters and back-ups have gone down, with practice squad players needing to start.
Pugh was signed last week, started at guard last night and moved to tackle when the starter was injured.
Several in the local media, including Boomer Esiason, have been all over this AMAZING, INCREDIBLE STORY!!!
And all I can think is Oday Aboushi, Ty Nesekhe and Matt Skura ... Three different veteran OL the Rams signed off-the-street last season, who all started multiple games last season.
The same NY Talking Heads in 2022 discussed how bad the defending champs were but rarely mentioned their OL injuries.
I guess a one-off Amazing Story in NY carries a ton more weight than THREE Amazing Stories in L.A.
