Last night was the first time I got to hear Brees as an announcer...curious what you folks thought of him in the booth?
I thought he had some interesting insights that I as a fan would not have noticed on my own (especially when explaining how TS dropping back so far in the pocket makes the job for the OT's nearly impossible). He has a good voice and I thought did a good job of not showing and bias, which had to be difficult given the way our/his Saints struggled.
There were a few times I thought Drew left Tirico hanging when Mike would ask him questions, but I attributed that to him being so invested in the game. I also thought it would have been nice for him to share some more incites/stories about some of the players or coaches as well given how well he knows this Saints team.
Mike Tirico is my favorite announcer, so overall I really enjoyed the pair of them together. I hope we get to see more of them in the future, and I think Drew has potential to be a great color commentator as he gets more comfortable in the role. He is already better than everyone at ESPN and Fox!
