BiggieScooby Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Wood has played in 32 of a possible 48 games, that's only 66%. Levitre is a perfect 48/48. One must be willing to admit Wood has the injury bug. Franchise guys dont miss 1/3 of their games. We all know Wood is a good player when healthy. If he can avoid the catastrophic injury bug that has plagued his 1st and 3rd seasons I like his potential. At a certain point though these kind of injuries run the risk of cutting his career short.
Haven Moses Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I thought I remembered seeing someone fall on it, can't find a video. The closest I came was this http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Eric-Wood-on-His-Knee-Injury/a57e4089-b999-44ff-b37d-8487725f3258 Around 2:50 in this video he talks about it and you are right he does say he was pushed. I thought some one landed on it, but I watch the games on the internet, thanks for the correction. It was a cheap shot "block" from the blind side, no where near the ball carrier. Wood never saw him coming.
VirginiaMike Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since OT Martin is out of the picture at #10 I still feel the Bills want a top flight O-line pick. Since Wood still has a long ways to go it would not surprise me to see the Bills draft OG David DeCastro* DeCastro would start at RG moving Kraig Urbik to Center while Wood gets to 100% The Bills can address LT in Round two... Hopefully the Bills can resign Bell making the situation more tollerable...Other options for the O-line would be to draft Riley Rieff, but he is a better guard than OT do to his arm length. Cordy Glenn is raw but very impressive..He will move up the charts before draft day. Not quite sure I understand this logic. DeCastro is a great prospect, but Wood will be back to full strength sometime this season and when that occurs what do you do with 4 good interior linemen and 3 positions to fill. Levitre to tackle is an option, but he's better at guard.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 It was a cheap shot "block" from the blind side, no where near the ball carrier. Wood never saw him coming. I disagree. A cheap shot to me is what Warren Sapp did to Chad Clifton. Wood was bumped or lightly pushed from the side/back. By Wood's own description it was the timing of the play which caused the injury… he was bumped just as he was trying to cut and his toe caught in the turf. "Head on a swivel." There was no malice in the play as I recall it.
