OT: This MNF broadcast crew...

[FordhamBulldog]

Painful to listen to. Jason Witten is so awkward. He starts every sentence with "He's GOT to..."

Really makes you appreciate quality announcers. Definitely not as easy as some make it look.

I don’t mind Chaos Joe, but Witten is kinda dumb. Room would’ve been better. Wish they had a real Xs and Os guy but they are all probably coaching.

I don't think Witten is dumb. I'm just not sure he is used to the format yet.

He made fun of Eli Manning's facial expressions tonight, so he's gotten that analysis right.

I think Witten could eventually be a good color guy, but you don’t throw him out on Monday Night Football to start out. He’s knowledgeable about the game but he isn’t comfortable at all right now.

Witt and Booger don’t gel together at all. A lot of awkwardness and passive aggressiveness. I lost count of the off the wall statements by Booger last night. Comparing Odell’s sidelines antics to Tom Brady. Claiming WRs were divas because they don’t piss themselves on the sidelines.

The Professor Xavier chair they have him in on the sidelines is a big WTF too.

Booger was the worst. He basically spent the last few minutes being a Odell apologist..."why should he be the leader? Why not Two time Super Bowl winning qb, rookie rb?" Sticking up for his fellow LSU tiger.

I've been trying to figure out why they've made Booger ride the camera crane up and down the sidelines this year instead of being in the booth. This may be it.

Of course, a lot of those booth broadcast spaces only have room for about three people and Witten is two and a half people by himself. But separating Booger and Witten makes sense that way for two good reasons.

I like the team, but Witten is still learning. It's only been a few games. He looked like an idiot and unprepared when Tessatore put him on the spot and let him explain what he meant when he used a term to describe Saquan Barkley's balance. It was something along the lines of "balance control," but that's not how he worded it.

Anyway the camera had him at a full body shot in the booth to explain and he just stumbled around and didn't make any sense.

Overall I do like his insight. He'll get better. Booger and Tes are very good in my opinion.
