JJ Watt proves to be a solid replacement for Tony Romo as CBS’s No 1 analyst
With the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback on leave after his arrest in July, CBS brought a dependable presence into the booth with Jim Nantz
TL;DR
- JJ Watt is currently serving as CBS's No. 1 NFL analyst, a position he moved into from the No. 2 team.
- Watt's promotion is due to Tony Romo being on leave following his arrest and subsequent plea for operating while intoxicated.
- Watt demonstrated strong analytical skills, especially regarding defensive strategies, during the Vikings-Packers game.
- While Watt's performance is considered 'solid,' his chemistry with play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz is still developing.
- CBS has not provided a timeline for a decision on Tony Romo's future, despite his contract and his public statement taking responsibility for his actions.
- There is an expectation that a decision on Romo's future will be made soon due to the practical needs of broadcast production.
