News and Notes and Broadcast Assignments by Rudy Martzke (Sept 19-22)

 

Worst Timing Award: Westwood One's Ian Eagle, "When you have The Leg in your nickname, it's a good sign. Greg the Leg. Kick is away, and it's sailing left. No good."

Good Question Award: Amazon's Kirk Herbstreit asked why the Jets tackles back-ups swapped sides after pointing out their backup right tackle played on the left in college and their backup left tackle played on the right in college.

Top stat: Amazon's Kirk Herbstreit shared that until Week 3 in 2024 the NY Jets scoring 3 offensive TD's in the first 3 games last happened in 1989.

Stat of the day: The Braves have hit 4 3-run HRs in a game for the first time in their history.

Strongest comment: ACC PM's Mark Packer to FSU fans: “Support your team! Don't show up with paper bags on your heads, you look like idiots!!”

Top analysis: Fox Sports Devin Gardner shared that sometimes when a defender falls down it causes the receiver to become disoriented and leads to them running out of bounds when it should be an easy catch.

Funniest exchange: Fox Sports Devin Gardner: "Look at that Big Noon crew getting all decked out. That's nothing like us, right?" 
Brando quipped, "Exactly right. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my makeup."

Top analysis: Fox Sports Devin Gardner shared when you have a young elite receiver that distracts the defense, it allows the other receivers to slip through cracks in the D and get open for an easy score.

Fox Sports Tim Brando isn't afraid to let viewers know he played sports. After pointing out a player was getting up slowly because of back pains, Brando quipped, "As a former baseball player who's helped shortstops up w/that exact pain, I know exactly what they're going through.”

Top analysis: Fox Sports Devin Gardner shared that one reason a QB will look at a different receiver/option is because they're letting the safety follow their eyes and then throwing it to the open receiver the safety just left.

Fox Sports Tim Brando and Devin Gardner were all over the rules and immediately told viewers the TD was an INT. 
After bringing in Pereria to discuss, Brando asks Mike Pereria, “What would this be on Sunday? What ruling would this be?”  
Mike replies, “Survival of the fittest."

Top observation: Fox Sports Tim Brando told viewers that every time the Illini have a good team they have a lot of players from Florida.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Devin Gardner noted most RB's tend to be explosive & plow straight into a hole. However Nebraska's Rahmir Johnson also has a delay & burst function that comes from continually studying & thinking about which whole is best It leads to more explosive bursts

Top analysis: CW's Michael Bumpus noted that because KO rules in college haven't changed, it allows teams to have an onside specialist and sneak players that have been accused of not having speed but having excellent hands onto an onside recovery team for surprise onside kicks.

Best line: Fox Sports Tim Brando, after OL Brandon Henderson caught a touchdown, “Move over fridge. You may have been one of da Bears, but in the same state of Illinois I am da man!”

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek pointed out that true road games allow the road team 2 things. 1) It allows them to bond as a team and forget about rumors going on at home and 2) It allows them to act as the bad guys to the home team.

Top analysis: ESPN's Dusty Dvoracek pointed out that when a RB transfers from a JUCO, it typically takes a few weeks before they start producing in D1 because they have to adjust to faster speeds and more complex game plans on both sides of the ball.

Top call: ABC's Dave Pasch, "Giving up any 1st Down when you have your opponent pinned inside the 10 is a big blow because it means you're unable to stop the most basic calls your opponent makes."

Top call: ESPN's Dave Pasch, "Trying to block tackle at the 2 doesn't work. Your opponent typically powers right through it and scores, and Florida now leads 27-7."

Top stat: ACCN’s Orlando Franklin, with James Madison leading UNC 46-21 with 7 minutes to go in the 1st Half, told viewers James Madison only scored 13 points last game against Gardner-Webb.

Funniest exchange: ACCN’s Jorge Sedano asking colleague Orlando Franklin, “I asked you earlier about the 3 offensive shift. Have you done that at any level? 
Franklin quipped, “Little League football. That’s about it. I’ve never seen it anywhere else.”

Strongest comment: ESPN's Dave Pasch, "That's a big score for Mississippi State. Not only does it make it a 2 score game, but now you've got that Florida D which has blown double digit leads questioning themselves wondering if this will be another one of those games."

Top analysis: ESPN's Dave Pasch rightfully pointed out that having a speedy back acts as a disadvantage to most offenses when they have breakout plays because their blockers often commit penalties and nullify the play because they can't keep up.

Strongest comment: ESPN's Dave Pasch, on a reversed targeting call, "It was ruled non-targeting because they ruled he wasn't a defenseless player. He could still protect himself. Targeting always needs a players vulnerability."

Top analysis: Fox Sports Spencer Tillman shared that smart coaches know when to change their schemes, and that's one reason why Texas Tech is so dangerous. They aren't just focusing on a pass first scheme. They know they have a RB that allows them to ground and pound at any time.

Top info: Fox Sports Eric Collins, before kickoff started, shared that the wind would play a factor throughout. It was starting at 18mph winds and only expected to get worse as the day goes on.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Spencer Tillman shared that Texas Tech's attack appears dangerous not only because  they have big plays, but their ability to ground and pound in the red zone results in scoring more than 80% of the time.

Funniest line: Fox Sports Dan Hellie, after the camera shows the khaki-clad University of Cincinnati band: "Jim Harbaugh's the only person with more pairs of khakis than the Cincinnati band, apparently."

Top stat: Fox Sports Eric Collins shared that Arizona State's 3-0 start is largely because of turnovers. In 2023 that had 9 through 2 games. In 2024 they've only had 1.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Spencer Tillman shared the reason you run a double screen is because most defenses focus on a screen on one side of the ball. However a double screen forces one side to get one-on-one coverage and increases offensive proficiency.

Top reporting: Fox Sports Allison Williams shared that the Utah offense has a different playbook when Isaac Wilson is in compared to Cam Rising. Because Wilson is a Freshman they've started w/his strength & are adding pages each week, but it's not even 50% of what Rising can run.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Brock Huard pointed out that a disadvantage to subbing on offense is that it forces you to give time for the D to sub, and because there's no required time limit for a D sub they can force you into a delay of game by delaying their march into formation.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Brock Huard shared a disadvantage for a freshman QB is they don't recognize when to audible for blitzes at the line. It typically leads to more sacks.

Top observation: CBS Sports Gary Danielson immediately knew the flag was going to be picked up during USC/Michigan for a potential interception due to the ball being tipped. Danielson gave credit to Brad Nessler noting the ball was tipped.

Best Timing Award: ESPN’s Mark Jones & Roddy Jones discussed the Auburn Offense Grade of 1st Half. Roddy Jones said, "B-  but this drive by Hank Brown would tell us now."  Brown immediately threw an interception. Mark Jones quipped, "What would you grade them now?" Roddy, "D-."

Top stat: Fox Sports Jason Benetti shared in terms of tackling efficiency Utah comes in at 13th, Ok State at 26th. As a result caught catches tend to become bigger plays.

Best move: CBS Sports is taking a page out of the Fox and ESPN book and having the studio show travel for the USC/Michigan matchup. CBS has an inventory of Big 10 games and the studio show should travel weekly.

Worst production: CW's use of the Lucas Oil helicopter camera and overhead drone is good when showing the stadium size, but using it on a passing play cuts off half the field and makes it difficult to track the ball.

Strongest comment: SEC Network’s Matt Stinchcomb, after Vanderbilt's Prince Kollie is hit with an unnecessary roughness penalty for hit on a Missouri receiver: "Kollie had a chance to make a play on the ball. ... Instead you cost your team yardage and a refreshed set of downs."

Say what: CW's Max Browne said TCU was the 1st team focused on passing against SMU. He said BYU was a ground & pound team. However BYU had more passing yards & averaged 14.5 yards per pass against SMU. Plus play distribution was roughly 50% pass/50% rush. It wasn’t ground & pound.

Best stat: SEC Network’s Taylor Zarzour, after Missouri clanked a field goal attempt against Vanderbilt: "That's the first empty red zone possession for Mizzou this year."

Best moment: SEC Network’s Taylor Zarzour highlighted Missouri fan Jack Foster, watching from the stands. Foster saved the life of Zarzour's colleague, Peter Burns, by performing the Heimlich maneuver at a restaurant in Columbia, MO this week.

Top information: CW's Treavor Scales shared that SMU has intentionally designed their stadium where the home side gets the shade first, thereby causing fewer cramps and slightly cooler temperatures than their opponents during afternoon games.

Top stat: CW's Thom Brennaman shared that SMU's offense is #23 in the FBS at making it into the redzone.

Top stat: ACC Network’s Wes Durham told viewers BC is one of three teams that hasn’t attempted a FG this season.

Funniest line: Fox Sports Terry Bradshaw, on Fox NFL Sunday, chided colleague Jimmy Johnson. “You’ve known a lot of great people. How was Abraham Lincoln!”

Top nugget: Fox Sports Tim Brando told viewers that Sean Payton and Todd Bowles were both under Bill Parcells staff together.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Matt Millen noted the Broncos cannot be one dimensional with a rookie QB.

Top observation: Fox Sports Matt Millen noted that Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix knew the flag on field was an offsides and was aware that it was a free play.

Top stat: CBS' Ian Eagle shared the only time Houston started 3-0 was in 2012, when they actually started 5-0. He would later share that Detroit's last 3-0 start was in 2016, when they likewise started 5-0.

Top analysis: CBS' Charles Davis pointed out that a blitz end has an advantage over a blocking TE because their momentum makes the TE go off balance and leads to easier sacks.

Funniest comment: CBS' JJ Watt, during a score update said that the celebration looked like an Ian Eagle dance. When it came back to Ian, Eagle quipped, "Apparently you saw my wedding dancing video JJ."

Oops Award: After reading a promo for the new Matlock, Ian Eagle encouraged viewers to catch the series premiere that night. However it was a sneak peek. The series premiere is in October.

Top stat: CBS' Ian Eagle shared Minnesota has only trailed 3:26 coming into Week 3.

Top nugget: Fox Sports Tim Brando told viewers that Bo Nix’ father, Patrick, was a Quarterback at Auburn where Bo started his college career.

Top info: Fox Sports rules analyst Dean Blandino, after the Bucs won their first challenge, noted because they won the challenge, they will get a 3rd challenge.

Funniest exchange: Fox Sports Matt Millen told Tim Brando, “I saw the fingers in your ears” as the Bucs almost scored a TD but marked down on the 1/2 yard line. Tampa Bay shoots off the cannons on a score.

Funniest line: Fox Sports Matt Millen, as Bucs Center Graham Barton snaped the ball with the ball over the plain, "It’s a touchdown.”

Funniest comment: After the Eagles had progressed to shortest 3rd Down attempt of day, Fox's Greg Olsen notes on how it was their best drive. A flag came out for a false start & caused Olsen to comment, "Once again I've jinxed them. Whenever I give praise this always seems to happen”

Top observation: Fox Sports Matt Millen noted that Broncos QB Bo Nix has been successful in the 1st Half because of the protection the offensive line has given.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Greg Olsen pointed out that most 4th Down pass attempts fail because an extra receiver is brought on, but if they get blocked at the line they end up cluttering the passing lanes.

Best Timing Award: Fox Sports Matt Millen told viewers that the more times that Bucs RB Bucky Irving gets the ball the better. Next play was a handoff to Irving for a 5 yard gain. 
Brando notes that Dan Lanning used that recipe a lot.

Best stat: Fox Sports Tim Brando told viewers that Baker Mayfield was 4-0 against Tom Brady’s Buccaneer teams.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Greg Olsen shared that most offensive 12-man in the huddle penalties occur because the QB enters the huddle before substitutions take place instead of waiting until the substitutions have been made.

Top reporting: Fox Sports Kevin Kugler shared that if the picture it appears foggy, it's because fireworks were let off in Nashville in between quarters. Even though it's an outdoor stadium, the smoke tends to linger making visibility from cameras become obscured.

Top stat: Fox Sports Kevin Kugler shared that in 2023 the Titans gave up 64 sacks. However they're on pace to exceed that this season, having given up 12 headed into the 4th Qtr of Game 3.

Best Timing Award: Fox Sports Matt Millen noted the Bucs need to get RB Bucky Irving into the passing game. The next play was a pass to Irving.

Fox Sports Matt Millen still has the unique knack of noticing obscure things on the field and on the sidelines. Viewers miss this quality on telecasts.

Best line: Fox Sports Tim Brando, with the Broncos dominating the Bucs at the 2 minute warning with the Broncos leading 26-7, “The Mountain time zone is feeling a mile high right now.”

Top reporting: Fox Sports Laura Okmin shared that as GB QB Malik Willis has begun learning Ball control in the NFL, it has led to fewer blitzes and a more controlled running pound attack.

Class act: Fox Sports Tim Brando never disappoints in this category. Brando always thanks his broadcast partner, sideline reporter, and entire production team. Most the names that aren’t ever mentioned are done by Brando. Hats off!

Fox Sports Tim Brando & Matt Millen should call more NFL games together when the college season ends. The duo covers college football and is up on all the rookies and younger players as displayed by both during Bucs/Broncos. It’s a treat to viewers to have seasoned duos call games.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jonathan Vilma pointed out that Amari Cooper is a dangerous receiver because he isn't afraid to jump over anyone, meaning he is always able to go into the air and make a catch.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jonathan Vilma pointed out that running the ball tends to give you more time control, but it also prevents blitzes from breaking into the backfield every play because they can't target the QB.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jonathan Vilma pointed out that when momentum changes between halves, it isn't always because of Halftime Adjustments. Oftentimes it's because a change of attack changes the tempo and allows the opponent more time to come back.

Top information: Fox Sports Kenny Albert shared that whenever they do a game in Cleveland, time is always given for them to go to Camden. This time they spent that time scouting all the NFL Draft boards and deciding how successful each draft has been.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Jonathan Vilma notes what makes defenders more successful the longer they've been in league is they're able to recognize game speed &  make adjustments in stride. During first year those adjustments don't come naturally because they don't know what to expect.

Top info: Fox Sports Kenny Albert, after Devin Singletary made a catch for 1st Down & ran down to the 1, pointed out younger players would have run it in for a TD. However Singletary stopping at the 1 means Giants can keep ball & run out clock than give the Browns another chance.

Top analysis: CBS' Jason McCourty pointed out bunching a group of receivers together in the endzone causes confusion because your backs are often scrambling trying to determine which receiver they should cover. Typically one gets forgotten, leaving 1 open most times for the easy score.

Top information: CBS' Andrew Catalon shared that with the new onside kick rules not only must you declare you're doing an onside kick, but you have to be trailing. It takes away the surprise kick factor. Kevin Burkhardt would later illiterate the same point on the first of 3 Dallas Cowboys onside kick attempts. 

Top information: CBS' Jason McCourty shared that when kicking team runs down the field and accidentally kicks the ball out of the endzone, it not only results in a touchback, but because no possession was ever made no clock progresses. It gives your opponent a free timeout.

Top stat: CBS' Tiki Barber shared that avoiding an 0-3 start doesn't drastically improve your playoff chances, but it does increase the odds by roughly 20%.

Fox Sports Sarah Kustok conducted a flawless postgame interview with Broncos QB Bo Nix. Kustok asked questions that viewers watching would have liked to know. Outstanding interview.

Top analysis: CBS' Trent Green pointed out the disadvantage to a high pass is it makes your receivers jump up to catch it, and unless they're open there's no room for them to move forward after catching it. The play is guaranteed to be stopped where it is caught.

Top analysis: CBS' Trent Green shared that an advantage to a QB getting outside the pocket is it allows them to see the situation down the field rather than having the view obstructed by the offensive line. It usually leads to more completions and big plays.

Top analysis: CBS' Kevin Harlan shared that while you never want a receiver injured, an advantage is when they come back your opponent doesn't have updated footage on them which allows them to make cuts to get open easier than those who have been filmed.

Best line: Fox Sports Mark Sanchez, after a Rams fake punt for a 1st down, “This is like a Lombardi sweep.”

CBS Sports Melanie Collins does an excellent job of following up on player injuries. Some sideline reporters wait until halftime or simply never followup.

Best line: CBS Sports Spero Dedes, with the Panthers leading the Raiders 21-7, “I don’t think many predictors had this score.”

Best moment: Fox Sports Tim Brady told viewers of his last game as a Patriot and being on the sidelines watching then Titans RB Derrick Henry keep to run and run.

Top observation: Fox Sports Kevin Burkhardt noted the sun is directly in Dak Prescott’s view.

Top analysis: Fox Sports Tom Brady shared the hardest thing for teams to overcome are fans expectations. They are always unrealistic because they assume both teams are identical when they never are.

Best analysis: NBC Sports Cris Collinsworth noted that Chiefs TE Travis Kelce has been a non factor this season.

Best line: NBC Sports Cris Collinsworth, describing the wild Chiefs/Falcons game, “I’ll tell you. This thing tonight has gone from chess to checkers to Rubik's Cube.”

Best line: NBC Sports Cris Collinsworth, on Chiefs LB Nick Bolton, “He’s the QB of the Defense. So many times tonight he hasn’t blitzed but his bluffs & fakes are setting up free runners that are coming off the other end.” Collinsworth was accurate as Bolton had winning sack.
