Tell Jon about my idea of fan perspective in the booth and ask him to give a shout out to Chico next weekend from the booth. thanks SS

We tried it with college football, was not successful at all

Do you think the booth is lacking these days? Not just monday night, all over. I like Gruden, but its worn out a little bit or he needs someone in there to keep him honest. I think the booth needs to be more personality driven and more honest analysis.

People hate this guy, but Collinsworth is does a great job. I personally dont like Joe Buck, but somehow that pairing works well. Aikman mitigates the annoyance that is Buck. Nance and Sims do well together, Sims can be a lil much sometimes, but not Gus-level.

I honestly tend to tune it out during broadcasts. Only sometimes, like the other day when Buck (I think) was consistently saying every tackle was "helmet to helmet" does it stand out.

I like Dilfer a whole lot better in the booth than Gruden though. And I know there are quite a few at ESPN that do too.

Id like to see Dilfer in there, but doesnt he want to get into coaching?

Well he's been offered jobs coaching, and hasn't accepted. I think he likes what he's doing with his coaching camps.

I like Dilfer too. I get hated on when I mention this on /r/nfl. Those guys hate him.
