Why Witten?
-
I think Romo does a great job.. He sounds like a regular mid western joe you know in a bar or something.. He doesnt have that boring , stoic approach... Like Jim Nantz Who I absolutely cannot stand...
-
I thought Romo came across as trying to hard to be the " smartest guy in the room". Kind of a know it all syndrome.

You know actually, I was interested to look at this more and that was legit one of the things people knocked him for to include Brent. Basically, Romo was excellent this season in calling plays out before they happen. I absolutely love it, but the "criticism" is that the viewer will get tired of him doing that. Here's an article that breaks it down pretty well:
I don't buy it, but it's an interesting point. As noted I thought he breathed some really fresh air into the booth.

I'll be curious to see if they stay with a 2 man booth or if they go to a 3 man booth on MNF. I wonder how JT is feeling right now? Although in his tomahawk podcast (which is excellent btw), he kind of mentioned that ESPN sort of said in not so many words that WItten was the front runner.

All I hear from the "pro" broadcasters complaining is Romo has an ability that they do not possess. Jealousy trumps talent.

I thought Romo was the best announcer in the league last year. I don't know much about Witten other than as a player, but the networks must have had their eye on him. Good for him. Future Hall of Famer.

OJ, I hear, is available for employment. He is an MNF alumni. Why not bring him back....and pair him with Joe Namath again.

At first I wasn't sure about Romo but have become to like his style, maybe Whitten will be a similar type of announcer.

And it is obvious that he spends a lot of time viewing recordings of the teams he is going to be announcing. How else do you think he is so accurate with what he sees and what he thinks they might do? He is very astute and he is also studious. I think next season I may put up a thread each week asking members to review upcoming opponents as to what they like to do both sides of the ball. I'm going to start recording at least the game they play before they play us to see if I can gain some insight. It was obvious almost every week that Garrett was playing that every offense spent a lot of time trying to get rid of the ball within 2 seconds or less to keep him away from the QB. And our crappy CB's made that far easier than it should have been.

Which honestly, as much as we all love JT I get totally. Witten is just going to appeal to a larger audience as long as he can hold his own in the booth there.
I wouldn't mind keeping JT on more of the local stuff though, he's going to rock it wherever he goes.
