Jim Nantz and Phil Simms are dull. Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden would be tight.

Gruden would be awesome if they would do it right. They really need to get the commentary on the level of NHL. While it has it's own flaws, its a lot more dynamic and less repetitive. Phil Simms reminds me too much of Chris Collinsworth

There is a lot of dead air with these guys; I agree that Gruden would be

What I want to know is how pre-rendered Nantz and Simms look so off. I know it isn't nor should it be priority number one, but it just looks weird. Those two are probably the biggest eye sore in the game right now. The sidelines I can deal with because I am never looking at them, but I look at those two at the beginning of every game.

Also, there is going to be dead air space no matter who you put in there. Even in games where the audio is critically acclaimed there is still dead air and repetition. What I'd rather see from the audio is less what they are actually saying but working on the triggers for certain lines. Every time I Simms decides to tell me I attacked cover 2 wrong when the defense was actually cover 4 I cringe.

I don't have a problem with the way they call the game its how repetitive it is.
I understand that no matter how much commentary they record it will become repetitive but is it that hard to record 4-5 version of a line, even if it's just delivered differently or a few words changed around. Every situation should have a variety of lines and the more often that situation could happen the more lines should be recorded.
Just go through there old game's and take notes of what they call in certain situations,sure it wouldn't take more than 2-3 games to come up with more variety than whats in the game.

Don't know how many times i have heard about how teams don't power run anymore in the one drive or how many truly memorable games i have had.

edit:
"Every time I Simms decides to tell me I attacked cover 2 wrong when the defense was actually cover 4 I cringe."

Or when your HB has been subbed but they say he is lining up in the back field when its the 2nd string.

Do they ever show Simms talking?

Anyone but Gus Johnson is fine with me.
