So I have a request: could some of you Danielson fans make an effort to call attention to him in the next game thread when you think he has said something that any regular TD/Rant fan could not have told you.

I think what some people, like myself, appreciate about Danielson is that he will add a lot of very detailed insight about certain coverage packages/QB's read progressions etc which I simply don't hear many other color guys doing that often. Not saying they can't but, for whatever reason (thinking it's too dry for casual fans?), they usually don't.


His insight, of course, is very QB-centric but I really enjoy it. Some of the things are what a fan who's interested/studied enough to recognize coverage packages would see if they were at the game but not television. The next time you watch just pay attention to how many times he'll point out the precise coverage package and what read the QB makes or doesn't make. Or later in a game, what play call's made to take advantage etc. . .

That breaking the game down from a QB-read standpoint is Danielson at his best. I agree that sometimes he gets "stuck" on a subject and beats it to death but he's still my favorite color guy for his detailed attention.

Danielson is an idiot too. Saturday he kept saying that Christian Robinson was coming in to run the "wildcard" formation. Problem is, Christian Robinson plays defense for Georgia. Tennessee had the ball at the time. And #45 did come in for UT in the "wildcat" formation (Jonathan Banks). I just shook my head in disbelief.
