Beyond this Tirico call (where he wisely didn't distract by wondering if the ball had crossed the plane of the goal line), the announcing team really knew a lot about the Bengals. They did a detailed analysis of the offensive line, noted the importance of Chido's absence, address the elephant in the room in terms of being able to sign all these playmakers to future contracts, and really knew details about the Bengals players. I enjoyed the humor where after repeatedly saying the right side of the line was the weakness with two substitutes in those positions, after Williams went out, they laughed, "now the right side of the line is the strong point."
Overall, nice to have an announcing crew that understands details about the Bengals.
Agree in the main. Collingsworth was dead wring about Sample being out of position at DE, though. He is a DE all the way and has started multiple games there recently when Hubbard & Hendrickson were out. Collingsworth also said Hendrickson had "a minor wrist issue." Yeah, it's BROKEN!
