Analytics - Eric Wood is bad at run blocking

[kingJofNYC]

Eric Wood is currently almost dead to last in PFF run blocking. Had an awful game today in that dept. Always hurt to boot. His reward is a multi year contract extension. ANALYTICS

Maybe we can kick Cordy Glenn inside.

Or easily replace Levitre at Guards don't matter.

Let's be real honest here, Wood might be a team leader who triumphed over gruesome injury, and gives a good interview with his red golden locks shining in the afternoon sun, but he's not all that particularly excellent at much of anything. I thought he was better at guard.

Trade him to Tennessee and draft another one. Linemen are a dime a dozen, we need get a waterbug back to help the QB we don't have yet and some world class speed receivers who don't run downfield so we can reach for a QB for the next coach after drafting more db's justin rogers, I mean just in case.

Yeah, I'm pretty annoyed atm. Think I'm going to take a break from sports.

But don't take a break from message boards. You're getting pretty good at it.

He's the Chris Kelsay of O-Linemen.

No kidding. Get a real mauler at center, and kick him to guard.

Levitre's power game sucks also...he's only decent when he can get out in space, but has always struggled with power linemen and getting any push off the snap. That's why he isn't worth anywhere near the money the Titans gave him.

You people are insane. We have a ton of issues, but Eric Wood isn't one of them.

They aren't saying Wood is a bad or a problem, they are saying that at least one part of his game is not up to par. Even some of the best players have flaws, Wood has some as much as anybody else.

We haven't had a road grader at OG since Reuben Brown was in his prime. Levtire was one of the most athletic OG's we've ever had, but you're right he struggled against power NT's and couldn't drive block when you needed it. On the pull or trap though there were few who are better in the NFL.

Adding in "always hurt to boot" is a key indicator that we can ignore your post.

That was one of the things Chan was good at. He recognized the skills of the players and adapted the offense accordingly. He knew that we didn't have a road grading IOL, so we didn't run up the middle all the time. He gave CJ the ball in space and got our guys out to the second level where they could easily block LBs.

to some point, you're right, but Chan was also the guy who gave CJ the ball 6 times despite rushing for 50 yards in those 6 carries

That's true as well and we were all frustrated by it.

But maybe the reason CJ was so effective is because of the amount that he was being used.

He was always fresh and never banged up.
