Buffalo Bills right guard Eric Wood said early last week that he would have to "bring his lunch" against Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

It must have been a delightful meal.

Wood more than held his own against the highly touted Suh. His performance was pivotal in the Bills' 14-12 win.

Wood has been inconsistant so far in his career. A large part of that he was rookie, playing another position and then a devasting injury. Once he gets it together, he will be a beast.

We are set at the two Guard spots IMO. Part of me hopes Wood moves to Center but at least we have 2 good young guys

Not at all. He turned it on a little at the end of the game but other than that I never heard his name called.

Our young O-line is developing into a solid unit. Along with the improvement of our WR corps, it has been a very pleasant surprise. Now, if Snawn Nelson can give us something at TE, we won't need as much help on the offensive side of the ball as it looked like earlier in the season.

Yeah, pick up Mankins in the offseason as a FA (since he moreor less said he's totally annoyed with the Pats and will not re-sign) and move Wood to C.

Hopefully this is either 1) things finally clicking with Wood, or 2) Wood as a healthy veteran, and NOT one of A) a one-game performance, or B) Wood playing to the level of his direct opponent.

Mankins just signed an extension with the Pats.

Link? I dont remember hearing anything about an extension. Im pretty sure he didnt sign one. He did sign his tender to report but is a FA after this year.

It was tough to get a push on them all day. I think Suh was definitely giving our run game fits until Jackson broke the 39 yarder later in the game. He was eating up blockers, taking on double teams, and their LB's were stuffing the holes.
Wood was good in his own right....give him plenty of credit. He'll be a strength on the offensive line. I'm just not sure you can say he got the better of Suh.

Yeah, I'm quite sure Mankins has not signed an extension.

Mankins signed his tender, not an extension. The Pats don't want to give him one given the uncertainties surrounding the CBA, and they also don't want to pay him top-3 OG money anyway.

Mankins is a LG, so we'd essentially create two issues with that move: moving Wood and getting Mankins used to RG.
