Not tough enough? Justin Pugh shrugs off OL criticism from Shaun O'Hara

Offensive lineman Justin Pugh on Friday chalked up Shaun O'Hara's Twitter rant about the lack of toughness of injured New York Giants linemen to "frustration."

"Shaun's a great guy. I think he wants to be in that room, he cares about the organization. I think it's just frustration," said Pugh. "If he was in that room, he'd be saying ‘hey guys, we want to get you back on the field as quick as possible so that we can get better.' "

Offensive line coach Pat Flaherty defended his current linemen, saying "I don't question the toughness because I know what they're going through.
