DL Rashad Frazier (Official Thread)

Hopefully he makes the field this year, even if during scrub time. Would be exciting to see his athleticism in action.

Would love to see him out there to provide good depth to the d line. I wonder if Chris rock is available this year as well to give us some depth on the outside also

DEFENSE: A-plus

The whole key was to clog the middle and stay gap sound. Michael Bennett and Tommy Schutt played a great game in the middle and kept Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon from getting loose. Ohio State also started Rashad Frazier over Steve Miller. Frazier is a bigger body than Miller. The move paid off. Gordon was held in check while the score got out of hand.

Though he didn't actually take Stave down on this play, Frazier (#17) does an excellent job of driving his blocker backwards without committing too hard to one side and allowing his opponent to push him right out of the play. Once he is within striking distance, the former walk-on disengages with a simple swim move, pulling his right arm over the head of his opponent while using his left hand to push him away.The swim move not only allows Frazier to disengage with his opponent, but forces Stave to tuck the ball away instead of looking to throw, becoming a sitting duck for Bennett to take down.

I wanted to give him some props before too much time passed. He played the game of his life and was dominate. Hope he has some great games left in his tank. He was a difference maker.
