Comments on: Better Know A Buckeye: Reid Fragel http://www.ourhonordefend.com/2009/05/better-know-a-buckeye-reid-fragel.php we will fight to the end for O-HI-O, but we can't promise to be any good at it Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:08:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Vico http://www.ourhonordefend.com/2009/05/better-know-a-buckeye-reid-fragel.php/comment-page-1#comment-2072 Vico Wed, 20 May 2009 22:12:26 +0000 http://www.ourhonordefend.com/?p=783#comment-2072 I had to correct for some things. Apparently I had the wrong Deborah Fragel, and no uncle of Reid has been with him to Columbus. I had to correct for some things.

Here's a question that's kinda-sorta topical whenever we're talking about TEs: Do you think The Senator's at all gun-shy because Hamby lost him - and us - the Texas game in '05? I know, you're not supposed to ever reduce a game to one play or blame a loss on one player, blah blah blah, but I think that sometimes you can. It might be dickish of me, but I absolutely blame Hamby for that loss; and I absolutely blame Anderson Russell for giving up the Fiesta Bowl TD (Note that I don't blame him for allowing a pass to be completed to Cosby; and certainly it's possible that a good solid tackle on that play might REPEAT MIGHT have been followed by a Longhorn TD anyway, but it might not have been as well, and then we win the game, so I blame Russell QEDMF). I'm kind of excited about this Fragel kid. Oh, and Vico: I can't speak for anybody else, but I wasn't at all suggesting that the minutiae of each kid's recruiting saga wasn't worth recounting, just that I personally am not all that interested. Not that you need our permission or anything, but write what you want to - there's lots of guys, I'm sure, that follow recruiting closely and love the ins and out of the timeline. Me, I'm still stuck in Buckeye Sports Bulletin days when it comes to that stuff. Good 6’8″ stuff 6’8″ Vico 6’8″. Here’s a question that’s kinda-sorta topical whenever we’re talking about TEs: Do you think The Senator’s at all gun-shy because Hamby lost him – and us – the Texas game in ’05? I know, you’re not supposed to ever reduce a game to one play or blame a loss on one player, blah blah blah, but I think that sometimes you can. It might be dickish of me, but I absolutely blame Hamby for that loss; and I absolutely blame Anderson Russell for giving up the Fiesta Bowl TD (Note that I don’t blame him for allowing a pass to be completed to Cosby; and certainly it’s possible that a good solid tackle on that play might REPEAT MIGHT have been followed by a Longhorn TD anyway, but it might not have been as well, and then we win the game, so I blame Russell QEDMF).

One question in your "Where He Excels" section; how tall did you say Reid is? I have to somewhat agree with your comments about Fragel playing DE. I agree that he doesn't appear to has explosiveness coming off the snap, but I thought that he showed pretty good awareness/instincts on a few defensive plays. He had a couple plays where he would slide back inside to the ballcarrier and a few plays where he put on a decent spin move to fight pressure and go to the ball. From what I saw, seam routes might fit him pretty well. He showed good concentration on one play to make the reception off a tipped ball. Oh, and I did love his blocking; he just seems to really finish his blocks, even getting downfield a couple times. I'd like to see our O-line try it this year. Vico,
