I didn't see much of Sunday's game, but I watched Week 1, and I thought Tony did a great job. Dude was calling the plays the offense was going to run when they came out of the huddle and saw how the d was lined up. Talked about the check-offs and who the read was. I thought he was great...but I enjoy listening to the guys analyze the game.
I thought it was just too much.
"See right here, they'll probably run a blue zipper donkey wink XY double fly jacket, because that's what we did in 2011 against the Cleveland Browns when it was third and three and the Browns had a nickel rolled into middle thirds and the backer dropping into lane control. "
"Oh, you see that run right there? Guess where New England stole that play from? Let me tell ya, Kansas City ran that exact play on them last week on third down when there was a slight breeze from the right and both safeties were left handed. Wanna know who's gonna have that play in their book next week? That's right, Sean Payton will be adding that to his repertoire..."
(The fact that I've seen NE run a similar play 400 times over the past ten years had no bearing on his rambling.)
It was too much for me. Too. Much. I got the point where I was like "FUCK, dude just let them run the play and quit yapping."
It was probably just me, but I thought he overdid it. I don't want some wonk telling me what's about to happen before they snap the ball. I don't like it.
