Romo is good on the mic, so they will probably stick Joe Bucks dumbass in there for the Super Bowl announcing team.  Romo - CBS Buck - Fox Can we still have Buck replaced??? |

I do think his actual voice is a little bit annoying but I like everything he says. And yes, his accurate predictions are spot on most of the time. Every once in a while he'll say something wrong but yeah, he is usually right. Go Romo... liked him as a QB too...

Romo is great. I love how he knew the plays, yet Andy Reid and the Cheifs D seemed clueless.
Even the last play. He was like "This is def a run, they should call a timeout here to give them a rest" then cut to Andy Reid on the sideline with that "I think we'll get 'em on this play" look on his stupid Walrus face right before they snapped the ball and scored

Question is, will Eli follow in NFC East QBs heading to the announcing booth?! I still remember him staring gormlessly from the box when the Broncos scored in SB50, apparently trying to figure out if they’d go for two or not. You could practically see him counting in his head.

Eli in the announcing booth would be like that scene in Billy Madison with the kid who can't read. |

He was a great QB, too. Too bad he played for the Cowpies.

He is far and away the best color guy out there. I remember when he was hired. Everyone was saying it was going to be a disaster. Talk about the exact opposite. He is one of the best ever.

I don't recall anybody saying it was going to be a disaster. People were certainly skeptical. They figured he just got the job cause he was a big name, good looking guy who played for the Cowboys. few people thought he was gonna be any good. But yeah, now even Cowboys and Romo haters all give him props for his announcing. He really has become one of the best ever in just 2 years. And that's not a reactionary "it's happening now so it's the best ever" thing like so many others. he really is the best commentator I've ever seen. I think he'd make a great coach. He is so aware |

And that's not a reactionary "it's happening now so it's the best ever" thing like so many others. he really is the best commentator I've ever seen. I think he'd make a great coach. He is so aware I remember mostly just the skepticism of a guy going directly to the booth without any experience whatsoever, and a discussion of how CBS screwed over Phil Simms with no notice. It all worked out guess though. But to say 'everyone' was saying it would definitely be a 'disaster' is some pretty extreme exaggeration at best, and just completely made up at worst. But everyone was sucking his dick pretty much right away. He took a somewhat different approach by basically just calling out plays as he saw them coming, so people took notice of the difference in style, but I found it a little annoying. I feel like he's gotten better, but I also feel like he's got a little ways to go... ...And I find his voice very annoying, and when he does shit like this... ...which he does AAALLL the god damn time, it makes have to mute my TV periodically. I certainly do think a lot of the assessment of Tony Romo's announcing is a reactionary/'prisoner of the moment' mentality. I'd have a hard time thinking of him as the best ever, but he certainly is taking a somewhat different approach, and that is commendable. He might be a good coach, but just being knowledgable isn't the whole job. I would guess that most NFL quarterbacks, coaches, and many other players can see the game the way he does. Most likely not as many of them could vocalize it the way he does. But just seeing the schemes isn't all you need to coach. |

Rams have a great DC in Wade Phillips. Phillips' defense shut down Brady in the 2015 AFC Championship Game so Phillips will be prepared with another excellent defensive game plan. Phillips has two great defensive linemen and two great cornerbacks with the Rams, but this defense is a far cry from that Broncos defense. Also, in the other 6 games against a Wade Phillips defense, Brady is 5-1. Weird that you would leave that out... In the interest in being fair, my information was not correct. Brady has face a Wade Phillips defense 9 times, not 7. I missed the 2 vs the Chargers. So Brady is 6-3 against Wade Phillips, scoring an average a tic higher than 29 points a game. Here are the dates for those 9 games. The last time they faced off ended in a W for Brady in 2016.

Doesn't surprise me. Already hearing rumors of them and Rex Ryan. That would certainly be an interesting sideline pairing. Andy Reid and Rex Ryan. |

What do the last 3 posts have to do with this topic? To me, Romo was seeing everything Sutton should have been seeing and the defense should have been reacting to, yet NE was successful on all those plays. So the question now is what will KC do on defense to fix this. Rex Ryan's analysis lately hasn't been very good. I think he'd be a mistake. |

But Bob Sutton make the same sort of sound effects when a play is being reviewed. |

Romo is seeing what’s coming after the formation is already set, at which point it’s too late for Sutton to do anything anyway. Unless Romo is also a time traveller, being able to read the opposing offense wouldn’t really help him as a DC who’s setting formations before the offense has lined up. |

If he could have a swatch at this weekend's English, Scottish, and Welsh footy fixtures, and tell me who is nailed on to win what before I go to see my friend Mr William Hill on Saturday morning that'd be grand so it would ⚽ 💷 👍

Well, coaching is about making those calls, but also about teaching your players to make on-field adjustments, among many other things, so that's not entirely true. But so much of the results of those plays are not necessarily on any of those things. Player execution of your schemes are a part of coaching, and a player ending up in a single coverage mismatch doesn't necessarily mean that the defensive coordinator isn't able to see the mechanics of the play at the line of scrimmage or imagine what is coming in a particular situation. I don't doubt the Bob Sutton could have done a better job, and I don't doubt that there's a chance that Romo might be a good coach... But I reject the notion that Romo is just seeing the game in a way that other coaches just can't see. I think he's calling out the plays the way that most coaches and quarterbacks also see it. |
