I used to run and get hot dogs for them at halftime and I just loved being on the road. I knew my dad loved it and I loved it as a kid going on the road with him and Keith Jackson and just being a fly on the wall. Amazing season.”Ī: “You know, I never really did. When you were playing, did you envision following in Bob’s footsteps? Related Articlesīroncos players, coaches revel in (and want to replicate) Nuggets’ title run: “Amazing team. Q: Your dad (Bob) and Keith Jackson had the main college football game on ABC for years. It’s about servicing the fan watching at home and harmonizing the three voices together, not talking too much, letting the game play itself out and I think that will be a work in progress for us, too.” And I think you have to check your ego at the door and understand it’s not about showing up on a weekly basis and showing everybody how much football you know. Q: What is the challenge to a three-person booth as opposed to two-person (Griese and Levy worked together on ESPN college football for several years)?Ī: “You really have to be on the same page and communicate ahead of the game about the things you’re interested in and excited about hitting and boil down the immense amount of content you could talk about during the game and realize maybe 15% of what you prepare is going to make it into the game. Outside of that, I’m really excited about Monday night and doing it with Steve Levy, who I think is outstanding and brings a really good voice to the play-by-play position and a really good personality and I’m excited to work with Louis Riddick, who brings a different perspective and has a wealth of knowledge from the front office perspective.” When you’re calling a game, you really are dependent upon the crowd noise and the fans and the energy for the inflection of your voice during the course of the game. (No fans) is going to be different, I don’t think there’s any way around it. Q: As a resident of the Denver area, how much does it mean to you to debut on “Monday Night Football” at your hometown stadium?Ī: “For the first game to be in a packed house, that would have been ideal.
He has the confidence of Elway, which is big, and he has some new pieces on offense so it should be fun to watch.” But as you know, playing this position is not the easiest thing in the world to do and a lot of things have to go right for you like health and the supporting cast. I think he has a willingness to work and to be proactive with that.
I think Drew’s got some confidence, obviously. The first thing I look at is how do his teammates respond to him? We’re looking from the outside, but if your teammates believe in you and like you, that goes a long way and for somebody like (outside linebacker) Von Miller to be your biggest cheerleader says a lot about what he thinks you have inside. Does Lock have the right kind of make-up to handle the attention and expectations?Ī: “Yeah, I do. Q: You know first-hand what it means to be the starting quarterback in Denver. They debut with Monday’s Titans-Broncos game at Mile High.ĭuring a phone interview with The Denver Post, Griese hit on a number of Broncos- and broadcasting-related topics. Now a Denver area resident and Broncos preseason television analyst, Griese is a part of the new “MNF” crew with play-by-play announcer Steve Levy, analyst Louis Riddick and sideline reporter Lisa Salters. Griese, who was the first quarterback to start for the Broncos after John Elway’s retirement, went 26-24 as the Broncos’ starter (71 touchdowns/53 interceptions) from 1998-2002. More and more of those college concepts are showing up in the NFL, but there’s just more time and more onus on the quarterback to read out defenses, which is a much more interesting game to me.” … A lot of is, ‘OK, the quarterback is reading one defender to make his decision whether to hand it off or throw it.’ “In college, there has been so much onus taken off of the quarterback. “The biggest thing for me is I will be able to analyze the game more because the game isn’t going as fast,” Griese said.
