    Disappointing to see Wood getting blown up by second-stringers.

    Disappointing, but not surprising...Wood hasn't been good for a while now.

    I wanted a center drafted this year. I love wood but he has regressed and I don't know why.

    Re: John Miller dominating!!!

    Yeah I was wondering the same thing about wood he is too athletic and strong to get man handled like he does on occasion. That being said hopefully having some good guards around him can help him regain his form soon.

    Re: John Miller dominating!!!

    What's the deal with Eric Wood?

    He's been such a stalwart... yet he's been getting an increasing number of lackluster reviews in the past year, year and a half.

    I chalked up last season to him being surrounded by subpar guards. Being a lineman is a position where you can easily look terrible if the guys next to you are bums. So much of the job description relies on cohesion.

    I feel like he can rebound.

    Still, early reports are troubling.

    Are we talking about Robert Woods or Eric Wood?

    Miller was a considered a possible fit at Center leading up to the draft. Wood is dead weight, he's making top 5 center money and he's not even top 10.

    Just IMO, but I don't think he's ever been stout/strong enough to anchor a line. Last year it seemed like a lot of games (watching replays) he was taking bad steps/making bad reads also, but in all honesty I can't say how much of that might have been piss-poor coaching.

    Or compensating for the guys around him. Hopefully it was both of those.

    Maybe, but one the plays that sticks out to me the most is against Houston when he stepped left/forward instead of right/back or up/read and let JJ Watt swing in behind him for an easy sack. IMO if you're concentrating on compensating for somebody else you do it in favor of the side where the best defensive player in the league is lining up, not the opposite.

    Agreed. I made that comment last year and I was hoping good Guard play by Incognito and Miller would help but 1 on 1 situations still arise due to certain schemes... and he isn't able to anchor.

    Remember the Raiders game when former UB LB Mack pushed him back like a blocking sled ? How is it going to get better against a true DT ? Better keep an open mind on upgrading that position, sooner than later.

    Actually he was. He broke his leg playing guard and was a good guard the next year also before they moved him back to center almost by default which kind of annoyed me at the time.

    I think it will get better though with Incognito and Miller on either side in a run blocking offense. Roman runs a complicated o-line setup, Wood is in a position of doing his blocking job and also making line calls, might just be he's learning a new system with new guards at his sides, and a fierce, talented Ryan defense in front of him to make it rougher early in camp this year.

    You block the way the play is called. It wouldn't surprise me to learn they wanted him to do that even though Watt was on the other side, given what Watt did to them that day.
