Washington broadcast

Did anybody else here have to listen to the awful Washington color commentary with the game on NFL network? I think his name was Doc and he acted like the game was the Super Bowl. He got so upset when the Panthers would score or make a good play.  I found myself rooting for big play just so he would get pissed.

True story:

Year before last I had just purchased a new 82 inch big screen and Boze soundbar, so that, as someone who watches very little TV, I could watch the Panthers at home in style. My company promptly sent me to DC for an entire month after firing the DC branch GM, and I spent an entire month watching my Panthers in DC area bars listening to Washington commentary at full blast while trying to focus on the one tv with no sound I'd gotten them to put the Panthers on.

In short, I have a fair bit of practice at tuning him out.

I thought it was quite complementary since he spent the majority of the game complaining about washington getting dominated.

Bingo, he cried every quarter I loved it. He said they’re gutting us I thought we’d be doing the gutting. It was a comedy show that kept me rolling.

It was Doc Walker, an old Redskins player and he is their version of Smitty, in personality that is. He was god awful, even my brother who is a WFT fan for decades even said dude was getting on his nerves. Usually it's Joe Theismann for them but I'm guessing they wanted more "rah rah" for this matchup smh.

He flipped flopped so many times in the game.  When they went down and scored their 1st touchdown it was as if HE turned on the dominator switch for the Commodores.  Later when we scored and were up by 14 he was "it is ok we'll learn from this"  Howell comes in and gives them the lead he's all dominator again.  Then Smith takes a good kickoff return and you could see him floundering again.  When we won the game he was back to "it ok we'll learn from this"

Guy was probably the most annoying "homer" color man I have ever heard.

It was downright pathetic. Even if I was a Commie’s fan I’d be appalled. Only announcer I’ve ever heard that had that level of homerism is Jack Edwards up in Boston.

You would have thought Brian Robinson was the second coming of Jim Brown the way the announcer was fellating over him.

This is true LOL!!!

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
