After Jon Gruden left Monday Night Football to coach the Oakland Raiders ESPN had hoped they had found the perfect replacement in former Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, but after several weeks of listening to him in the booth it’s pretty clear he’s no Tony Romo.
Jason Witten needs Tony Romo to carry him on the field AND in the commentator booth!?

Tonight, Witten was once again unwatchable especially after he kept calling for Broncos’ wide receiver Courtney Sutton to catch the ball despite being blanketed by the Chiefs defense.
Omg is Jason Witten our new Phil Simms? Cmon man stop it already. Sutton is gettin held but try to get the DB off so u can catch it. Smh trash

Jason Witten as Sutton has his left arm held behind his back by Scandrick
“He just needs to use two hands there instead of just sticking out one arm.”🤔🤔🤔

Lol at Witten saying Sutton has to go get that with two hands with Scandrick bear hugging all the way down the field

Jason Witten definitely has Courtland Sutton on his fantasy team.

Witten couldn’t even avoid broadcast cliches phrases like ” grit, determination and moxie”.

“He’s showing grit, determination and I like the moxie, but most of all I like the poise.” That’s a cliche bingo from Witten.

Witten just said Mahomes has Grit, Moxy, Poise, and Noise! What do you call this combo @PFTCommenter

Jason Witten just worked "grit," "determination," "moxie," and "poise" into one singular description of an individual. He's really going straight off the vanilla commentator handbook.

How many times is Witten gonna yell “He’s got Sutton” in the red zone when Sutton is blanketed? That’s twice through 3 quarters.
