I have no idea, since for some fricking reason JAX-KC was still drawing Ian Eagle and Charles Davis as the broadcast team. I don't think any of the top broadcasters/analysts have even seen a Jag game in over a decade.

I think we've had Romo and Nantz once or twice since Lawrence has been in Jacksonville. More than likely for the Kansas City game. As far as Sneakers comment regarding the term "elite" being thrown around, most of these guys are pretty crafty. They won't say "Oh, he's an elite player, etc" they'll just look for a big play, pinpoint it and say "See, that play right there? That's an elite level play".

Romo would have been freaking out if he had seen that whip of a throw Lawrence made in between two defenders in the opening week to Ridley. Same for that throw to Zay Jones in the endzone. We'll eventually get some good crews for our games. I can tell you that I am honestly not looking forward to our TNF game with Michales and SNF game with Collinsworth. 

I just find both of them washed up now and boring. Not sure who we'll get for MNF against the Bengals.
