[Augie]

I'm fine with this....even if only for his Maybin rant!

[Wayne Arnold]

#Bills C Eric Wood signed a 2-year extension worth $16M in new money with an additional $5.275M this year, source said. Locked up.

For #Bills C Eric Wood, he got a $6.5M signing bonus and a $1.75M roster bonus due in 5 days, source said. $14.2M in total guarantees.

 

 

 

Lot of Money for Wood IMO. Specially after Groy new contract. Only like it if you move Groy to OG

 

Insanity.

 

Reminds me of Buddy Nix coming in and giving Chris Kelsay a crazy contract extension. For what?!

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Urbik just got released..... haha.

If I recall Urbick played well in zone with Chan.

[GunnerBill]

Ducasse is horrible and the staff keeps trying him over Miller, so what does that say about him?

Says our O-line coach has a man crush on Ducasse. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Wayne Arnold]

Says our O-line coach has a man crush on Ducasse. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Yep. Very strange. Ducasse has no business being in this league, much less starting over Miller or Urbik.

[Coach Tuesday]

The Chris Kelsay of centers...

[Boatdrinks]

Insanity.

Yep. Should have kept Sammy and went to Groy next year at C or draft a top college C .

[Mark Vader]

Mark, I am thinking RG since they can't make up their mind on the two there. Kid can ball.

I am not upset with this. I think Wood could do well with this system

I agree with you.

[Drunken Pygmy Goat]

Du.....du........Ducasse, mich

Nice play on words

[H2o]

Good for Wood, but that is a lot of $ for a middle of the pack Center.

The Chris Kelsay of centers...

Ducasse was still playing in the 4th qtr. I think he's going to be cut.

Insanity.

Yep.

 

This.

 

Buddy said he paid Kelsay to set an example that team players would be rewarded financially.

 

It was a desperation move by a regime that had no idea how to flip the culture switch........Chan didn't have the will or the way to do it so they thought maybe they could buy it.

 

Wasting money.

[Green Lightning]

If I had to guess, it would be to keep him as a good veteran backup for next year and spreading this year's bonus over 2 years

Seems right. I don't get why Groy isn't starting at RG. He's better than both Miller and Ducasse.

[Sandy McFiddish]

Kind of thought he would be a cap casualty next year.

Scheme versitility.....Wood can play both C and G

[outsidethebox]

Wood has been on the decline the last few years. I have seen him getting blown up by the DT the last two preseason games. Great deal for him and his family, bad deal for the Bills.

[That's No Moon]

Why the hell is Groy not the starting right guard today? More utilization things that I'm just not understanding.

[BADOLBILZ]

Scheme versitility.....Wood can play both C and G

 

 

I mean.........in theory yeah........and he can play LT and long snapper in theory as well.

 

Been a LONG TIME since he played any guard, John. Much different player physically then.

 

He's not a physical matchup winner at center........that ship sailed about 4 years ago.....he is a veteran presence and benefits from being able to get pass pro help from either side if needed.........at guard he would be a liability.

[Dr.Sack]

Every team needs a Wood.
