When Buffalo Bills center Eric Wood announced his retirement Friday, it sent shock waves through the team’s fan base. At 31, we expected at least one or two more seasons in the red, white, and blue. Now that the shock is wearing off a bit, the ripple effects of the news are coming into focus.
The team lost a good player
First and foremost, Buffalo is going to need to replace Wood the player. Does the team trust Ryan Groy to step into this role? They essentially said he couldn’t play guard last year by not trying to start him even when Vlad Ducasse and John Miller struggled at right guard.
