KCNC Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Does he sound like a great guy to have in the trenches or what? I hope he sticks it to Wilfolk. Wood is 1st guy out to practice By Chris Brown - Posted August 1st, 2009 Eric Wood is the first guy out to practice this morning. He’s been out here for 10 minutes working on his stance and first two steps out of his stance. The guy is committed.
Mike in Syracuse Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Does he sound like a great guy to have in the trenches or what? I hope he sticks it to Wilfolk. Frankly, I don't understand why all players aren't like this. He's getting a chance to live his dream, why not act like you care.
Guest dog14787 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Does he sound like a great guy to have in the trenches or what? I hope he sticks it to Wilfolk. If Eric Wood is already impressing folks this early on it kind of gives you the feeling this young fella is really something special.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 hall of famer I love how you're calling this now!
Justice Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 I hopped on the Wood bandwagon as well. He has all the tools and the attitude needed to succeed in the NFL. Here's a little bit of what I have already said about EW: Eric Wood is an absolute beast. I love this kid. I just watched the Senior Bowl again and payed close attention to Wood, in particular. This kid was stone walling Raji all day and he can pull. The kid is athletic and strong. I want to go on record saying that Eric Wood will be a force on the line in the near future. He is the only real silver lining in the unit.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 I remember reading a quote right after he signed that stated he was asking people (while his contract was being negotiated) if he could just hang out at camp, just to be there. His dedication is through the roof...those type of players rarely fail in the NFL.
Omar Little Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 I can't envision this kid being any less than a solid NFLer. He has the potential to be phenomenal.
spartacus Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 just imagine if the Bills had spent a premium pick on an OL like Wood more than once in the last decade. they would have a solid, if not dominant, OL by now. instead we again are playing musical chairs again
Pilsner Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 just imagine if the Bills had spent a premium pick on an OL like Wood more than once in the last decade. they would have a solid, if not dominant, OL by now. instead we again are playing musical chairs again When the Bills passed on Eric Steinbach, and then again passed on Nick Mangold, I was pretty much banging my head against the wall like no other. And we all know how they have turned out.
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 If we could find 52 other guys like that we'd be unstoppable. Sounds like the kind of guy who won't accept failure and will set a high bar for himself. Hopefully that raises the bar for everyone. It's hard to ignore the guy who is out there killing himself everyday.
GripnRip Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Hes 10 min early for practice?? O M F G ! ! HALL OF FAME!!!!!
Shamrock Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Does he sound like a great guy to have in the trenches or what? I hope he sticks it to Wilfolk. Maybe he has less tape requirements, less to go through. It's 10 mins before training... really. So who was last off the field?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 just imagine if the Bills had spent a premium pick on an OL like Wood more than once in the last decade. Assuming there were guys like Wood out there... We spent a #4 on Mike Williams, after all. You've got to just hit on the right picks.
John from Riverside Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I will take it one step further..... I dont understand why we have not been looking for these type of players over the past several years to fit our lines particularly the interior of our O and D lines where things get ugly....... I mean.....you see a guy like Wood who you hear is continuously trying to finish off every play and literally has to hold back because he doesn't want to hurt teamates..... and we drafted Duke Preston? Seriously?
