I was trying to think of any announcers I like the other day. Totally forgot about Moose Johnston. He should be Team 1.
Gonna need Tom's take on Brady vs Romo
Bardy is mediocre as expected but the worst part is he'll be on every "game of the week" to which he will add nothing. Maybe he'll get better but all of the other big name analysts are better. Hell any no name is better and a lot cheaper. It's not like people will tune in because Bardy is doing the game?
It's already muted
Aikman not bad, he jokes around ... not a robot. I think he likes the sauce. I would like no announcer, just sounds from the field and use pa announcer., like people at the game. This feels like a holdover from radio, we just dont need people talking to us.
No, probably not. But eventually, one of the seasons should be better than what I’m having to endure.
prob the curse of your avi, i'll ponder another
captain stretch handoff play action rollout
he can be a weapon with the right gameplan
dangerous miss on his first downfield pass
I'm probably going to have to experience Bardy for a full game rather than RZ. Since I haven't noticed when it's him talking, I'm pretty sure the sound of his voice won't be as annoying to me as Romo's. I'm afraid an evaluation of his content will have to wait.

Yeah, great idea. I'd pay extra for a sounds of the game only feed. Or the Mannings do some cloning and do every game.
The best is Manningcast before they get any guests. The guests always suck but watching Peyton and Eli break stuff down is entertaining.
Rookie QBs are going full rookie
Bo's booboo
gj Seahawks
When Nix was at Auburn, he was fine if he had time to throw. And he was a good athlete when forced to take off and run. But he was absolutely abysmal against teams that could rush the QB. He doesn't like to hang in the pocket and deliver the ball under pressure. He immediately goes into Johnny Football mode if he feels pressure, and he is highly inaccurate when forced to throw on the move.
I am not optimistic.
Dont think anyone is really good right away. Keep hope alive, they have to learn to throw when nothing looks right. Big Ben was pretty good right away, but most everyone sucks at first.
Love the play action game Las Vegas is showing. That Wham look from the back end player gives Minshew a clean pocket and the LBs respected the run action. Gets the corner route to settle and throws a dart. Love the concept. Chargers sitting in a 4-2-5 cover 4 which is a very college esque defense. Isn't the DC Ryan?
