Kemp2Warlick Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Louis Riddick @LRiddickESPN8h Want to watch solid, fundamental OL play, then you should watch #Bills OC Eric Wood.. Quicks, footwork, leverage, hand use, lat range.. Louis Riddick @LRiddickESPN8h Routinely created movement at the POA vs Ngata ( some doubles W/OG), opening up inside zone runs. Louis Riddick @LRiddickESPN8h E Wood an easy Pro Bowl starter at this point in the AFC, and it isn't close IMO. I like Mack, but he is not as powerful as Wood. #Bills Louis Riddick @LRiddickESPN7h Is there a guy that is playing at a higher level/ is more versatile - valuable than #Bills DB Aaron Williams? What a game vs Torrey Smith!
ganesh Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 As long as the Pouncey brothers (I know the one in Pittsburgh is done for the year) are around, there is no chance for Eric Wood
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 As long as the Pouncey brothers (I know the one in Pittsburgh is done for the year) are around, there is no chance for Eric Wood In what sense?
K-9 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Wish we had 53 Eric Woods on the team. He's a football player in every sense of the word. GO BILLS
thebandit27 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 As long as the Pouncey brothers (I know the one in Pittsburgh is done for the year) are around, there is no chance for Eric Wood I understand the sentiment, but I'll tell you right now: Wood is VERY highly thought of in league circles. If he plays at this level all year he'll be an AFC pro bowler along with Mangold.

If he plays at this level all year he'll be an AFC pro bowler along with Mangold. Gotta agree here. As technically sound as anyone that's played the position. And spits nails out there. But I don't want to jinx the man. Let's just say he is a HUGE value at his top 5 pay. Bills were smart to lock him up and I'm glad he really wanted to stay. GO BILLS!!!
nucci Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Wish we had 53 Eric Woods on the team. He's a football player in every sense of the word. GO BILLS I don't think he would make a good QB, though.
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Healthy Wood ( ) > Levitre Now find a better LG.
K-9 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I don't think he would make a good QB, though. I'm not convinced of that, either. GO BILLS!!!
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Wish we had 53 Eric Woods on the team. He's a football player in every sense of the word. GO BILLS I'd worry about our overall team speed. Teams would probably just crowd the line when were are on offense and throw deep on us Justin Rogers style.
1B4IDie Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Wood should be voted into the Pro Bowl. He will probably be unavailable due to his upcoming game in NYC though so a Pouncey or a Jest will have to take his play.
stony Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I understand the sentiment, but I'll tell you right now: Wood is VERY highly thought of in league circles. If he plays at this level all year he'll be an AFC pro bowler along with Mangold. I've read a lot of the same stuff regarding Wood. He's consistently the guy pointed to when Pro Bowl voting is being done as the "guy who deserves it, but won't make it cause he's on a bad team." It's such a reputation position too, you make one, you make eight. Edited October 3, 2013 by stony
Never NEVER Give-up Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I may be showing my age, but he reminds me of Billy Shaw. Tenacious & tough on the inside of line play. A seemingly regular & easy going guy off the field. I always thought HE was our best OLineman when the 'experts' were saying it was Levitre. Levitre looked so much better because he had Wood to his right, Wood's problem was staying on the field for more than half a season. I agree with Riddick, he will be a pro bowler - but only if he stays healthy. Winning doesn't hurt either!

Winning doesn't hurt either! seems like everyone has always loves wood's ability and attitude but were a bit reserved to give him the ultimate praise because of the injuries. levitre was our o-line ironman, he was reliable and dependable and seemingly never hurt while injury-induced line changes were happening all around him. not to say he is not a talented individual in his own right, but eric wood has that special blend of talent, work ethic, blue collar appeal and downright nastiness from time to time.
8-8 Forever? Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I've read a lot of the same stuff regarding Wood.

It's such a reputation position too, you make one, you make eight. Just win, and all this stuff goes away in a ny minute
