I felt the same. Brown paints a much more vivid picture for a radio listener who can not see the action. Better at mentioning down and distance, packages, alignments and yards gained. He was rather impressive.
'Quick pass to Shakir' versus 'He's got a man down there'
'Quick pass to Shakir' tells me who it was, a bit about the action , and quick pass is usually 15 yards or less
'He's got a man down there' down where? Who is it? Where is the ball?
Murph and Van Miller were part of me growing up and developing my love for the Bills.
I also wish him a speedy and full recovery, but Chris Brown has done terrific service in his absence and it was better IMO.
