Enjoyed this. Wish it included highlights or analysis showing what made Rags so good.

Producing video at that level would be a full-time job. Additionally, there are strict restrictions on using NFL highlights.

Frank should be hired as a center coach.

Coaches work twice as much as players. I think there's an overestimation in how many players want anything to do with coaching.

Interesting evidence that pointed to him not retiring. I enjoyed hearing those little stories.

I appreciate your well done informative video providing insight all aspects of Frank Ragnow's retirement. A good man has left the playing field with honor. The team goes on. A center will be found. .

Justin, thanks for doing this video. Your emotions really came though and I don't think they wouldn't be as evident in a written piece. I too had a special affinity for Frank because of his foundation. I lost my father at 12 years old and the work that he does is incredible. Your emotions triggered me as well -- in a good way though, so thank you.

Nice job Justin. You said what has gone through the minds and hearts of all of us. Hope Frank gets a chance to watch it.

Is there a transcript? Easier to read these emails during work versus watching a video (sorry, I am an old).

Agree that the video format is less desirable. So does the guy next to me eating lunch

No. I realize not every piece of content fits everyone, but I had people asking for occasional video, so instead of nothing, there's now this. It's more, not either or.

That is reasonable! I will just have to be an adult and watch the video after work. Thanks for the content and that work that you do, it's appreciated!

hah, it's a great idea, but not the nature of the job I do. But I'll be able to watch tonight. Again, thanks for what you do, it's appreciated. :)

Update - I was able to listen to it like a podcast while I walked the dogs! Hopefully Frank sticks around the organization in some way, just sounds like he's an incredible guy to have around.

One more thing for Rats agent to bring to the table as several 2nd rounders are looking for totally guaranteed deals. I don’t have an issue with that at all but it looks like the league is balking at many of them right now

Reminds me that Jonah finished a season at Center for Detroit when Frank was out. It’s a hard role but one that a smart talented OG can move into either reps. I agree with JR, it looks like day one it’s Graham with Rat playing OG and #2C. Not as great as having Frank but the cupboard isn’t bare.
