Olsen very good in the booth

SI thinks so too:

1. “Fine. Bench me. But I’m gonna make it hard as s--- for you to bench me.”

That was Fox NFL analyst Greg Olsen on the SI Media Podcast just over a month ago when talking about the prospect of Tom Brady replacing him in the booth whenever the legendary quarterback retires.

 

After two weeks of the NFL playoffs, Olsen is clearly going to make it “hard as s---” for Fox to bench him.

Even though we’re working with a small sample of games, Olsen has had an outstanding postseason and has set himself up to win over even more viewers thanks to Fox’s airing this year’s Super Bowl.

Olsen really showed his chops in the last three minutes of the Niners’ win against the Cowboys on Sunday. Most analysts flop late in games, because they don’t understand clock management and timeout strategy. Olsen, meanwhile, couldn’t have been more on top of it all.

As the Cowboys made their final drive of the game, Olsen pointed out, after a completion near midfield, that even though Dallas tight end Dalton Schultz went out of bounds the clock didn’t stop, because he wasn’t moving forward when he hit the sideline. Olsen also took Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy and the Dallas players to task for not hustling more before a late punt to save time on the clock. And in his finest moment, Olsen pointed out that McCarthy needed to call his timeouts before, not after the two-minute warning–a coaching tactic that most NFL analysts (and coaches) get wrong.

Whether someone enjoys a broadcaster is completely subjective. My two main criteria for anyone in the booth is (1) Don’t annoy me; (2) get strategy right. Olsen is two for two.

He’s also just a very easy listen. He doesn’t overspeak, he doesn’t try to act like the audience is stupid and he’s a football genius and he’s not afraid to criticize players and coaches.

 

Here’s the wild thing about Olsen: He’s been doing this for only two seasons. Tony Romo has been a lead analyst for six seasons. Cris Collinsworth has been a lead analyst for 20 years and Troy Aikman has been a lead analyst for 21 seasons. Olsen is already very, very good, and he’s only going to get better.

This is where the Brady conundrum comes into play. If the GOAT decides he’s done with football, he has a $375 million contract with Fox that calls for him to become its No. 1 analyst.

Will Olsen’s emergence force Fox to go with a three-person booth? Could Fox put Brady in studio and make him part of Fox NFL Sunday?

I think at this point, Fox would have to have Brady join Burkhardt and Olsen. If Fox demoted Olsen, who is becoming a fan favorite, for Brady, the network would set up Brady to face a major backlash.

It’s hard to imagine at this point, especially if he has a great Super Bowl, that Fox could pull Olsen from the A crew.

The  is a great question and I am anxious to see how it will play out!

Meanwhile...Romo getting some criticism: 

https://nypost.com/2023/01/23/tony-romos-bengals-bills-call-is-getting-torched-by-nfl-fans/

Some football fans are ready to hit the mute button on Tony Romo’s commentary.

Romo is getting roasted over his analysis during CBS’s broadcast of the Bills-Bengals AFC Divisional Round game on Sunday.

The former Cowboys quarterback, who called the game with Jim Nantz, sounded hesitant about plays and filled in awkward gaps with silent pauses, grunt noises and other gestures during the broadcast. One viral moment included Romo describing the Bills’ quarterback sneak strategy as “a little tush push” after wideout Gabe Davis used both hands to push Josh Allen’s backside forward.

“Tony Romo is the college kid who didn’t crack a book all semester but his sure-fire oral exam strategy is to smother the professor with enthusiasm, charm, bluster and every possible answer,”

When Nantz asked him about Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ high-ankle sprain he sustained in Saturday’s Divisional Round win over the Jaguars, Romo stood in silence for a few seconds and looked like he was chewing something.

At one point, when Josh Allen failed to connect with receiver Stefon Diggs in the end zone, Romo said, “It’s a perfectly thrown ball, but it’s a little wide.”

In response to his commentary, Awful Announcing tweeted: “Tony Romo, expanding the meaning of ‘perfectly.'”

...... “TV’s should be required to have a ‘mute Tony Romo’ button on all remotes. This guy is exhausting.”

“This is an issue, it’s kind of gibberish,” Marchand said. “They’re not on the same, it sounds like they’re doing two different broadcasts. [Romo] interrupts Nantz… when Nantz is trying to make his final call at the end of the game… The biggest issue is that they’re not together.”

A 3 person booth would be terrible.  Brady could not tolerate Greg being better than him.

I think it was ESPN (?) that did that with Steve Levy, Louis Riddick, and Brian Griese.  Brian and Louis tended to talk over each other and try to make the same points.  Steve was basically pointless and tried to be funny/silly.  It was awful.

I prefer Romo 

Romo started out insanely good, mainly cause he didnt care about some of the unwritten rules about talking about the stuff when they meet with coaches and players. Deal is after his recent huge bagged contract, he doesnt have the same energy, not predicted plays as much, and gone full sucking off super star ______ instead of calling the game. I do not care to hear how god-like Mahomes is, call the game on the field. 

Olsen passed him this year.

That was the original MNF model IIRC.  They made it work. I just don't think Brady's ego can handle it...especially as good as Greg is.  Also wonder if Greg would go for it.  Fox would be crazy to mess with something working well.
