I agree that they should have spent more time on Eric, but I thought it was well filmed given that the focus of the scene was on him and his anxiety about his own safety and the safety of the people he cares about. Rick and Ezekiel can make rousing speeches about how they've "already won", but a lot of people who have to fight the fight itself are just normal people, not battle-hardened veterans. I presume the viewer was intended to stand in his shoes, because we'd all be pretty freaked out in a protracted firefight like that. It was basically trench warfare with zombies.
