ESPN is determined to make Jason Witten work, so they have decided the best way to do it is give him more TV time. They are hoping through repetition he gets better.
They replacing the popular Coaches Film Room for Bama-Clemson with the MNF crew.
ESPN will use its “MNF” crew to call Monday’s Alabama-Clemson CFP Championship game as part of planned MegaCast coverage around the event. The “MNF Film Room” will replace the “Coaches Film Room” on ESPNews for the game, with Joe Tessitore, Jason Witten and Booger McFarland teaming up with Todd McShay to provide an X’s and O’s-style telecast from the game site in Santa Clara.
Good luck with all that.
