Originally aired on WIVB+, Center Stage with Eric Wood. Each week, Eric Wood brings you exclusive Bills insight, analysis, and behind-the-scenes perspective from inside the locker room.In this Week 12 episode, Eric and Josh Reed break down Buffalo's much-needed offensive spark — from Joe Brady's creative scheming to Tyrell Shavers' breakout performance — and why it may just be the beginning of a long climb back toward consistency. They dive deep into Josh Allen's command of the passing game, the renewed involvement of James Cook and Ty Johnson as receiving weapons, and how Gabe Davis' trust factor continues to show up in big moments.The guys also address the situation surrounding Keon Coleman's accountability issues, why trust matters so much in the Bills' passing concepts, and how a player like Shavers becomes a locker-room favorite through work ethic and persistence.On defense, Eric discusses Terrel Bernard gutting through injury, Max Hairston's rise and why his long-term ceiling could reshape the Bills secondary, and how Buffalo should approach a Texans defense that is physical, disciplined, and elite at all three levels.Looking ahead to Thursday night, Eric breaks down why Houston's ferocious front led by Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson will be one of the biggest challenges of the season — and what Buffalo must do to protect Josh Allen, stay balanced, and avoid letting the Texans dictate the tempo.Topics include:

Gabe shares his thoughts on Keon Coleman's situation, the emergence of Terrelle Shavers, and what's changed (and what hasn't) about playing with Josh Allen.Plus — rapid fire. Poker, handshakes, wing orders, Buffalo traditions, and even the mysterious “Gray Davis” storyline.
