2015: Justin Pugh vs. Damontre Moore
Although it didn’t come out until after he was removed from the team, Damontre Moore was a regular when it came to fighting with his teammates.
During training camp in 2015, Moore was being overly aggressive during drills, which got under the skins of offensive lineman Justin Pugh.
On one particular play, quarterback Eli Manning hit the ground despite wearing a red jersey, which led to some vicious punches being thrown between Pugh and Moore.

After practice, then-head coach Tom Coughlin let his frustrations be known.
“I have a problem with all of them because they’re out there swinging,” Coughlin told reporters at the time. “I’ve been hurt first-hand by a guy who broke his hand in a fight. In the old days they would just wrap it up and play with it. They don’t do that anymore. I was upset about the fight and losing their temper and all that stuff, but the bottom line is you can’t afford to do it. You’ll lose a guy.”
Moore and offensive tackle Ereck Flowers also came to blows during that training camp.
