Week 1 Friday Fan Forum - The WFT Radio Booth?

We're trying something new here on "Washington Football' on SI.com for us. Instead of a mailbag, which everyone does, on assorted topics - we're going to do an open "Fan Forum" every week.

The concept would be for me (Chris Russell) to pick a topic and invite commentary via twitter or our message board and various other means to solicit your opinions, thoughts and feedback.

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here. We're just trying to have a little interactive fun and hopefully you guys will be featured and participate.

The topic this week: What did you make of the new Washington Football Team radio booth of Bram Weinstein, DeAngelo Hall and Julie Donaldson?

Trying something new this year on @WSHFootballSI -

Idea: Fan Forum - I pick the topic of the week and best responses make the blog post via embed or link.

Topic Week 1: What did you think of the new @WashingtonNFL radio broadcast?

I was not able to listen to the game live because of my radio obligations from the press box at FedExField. You can hear a small sample of their call on Jimmy Moreland's interception, as put together by Jamual Forrest in our Week 1 WFT Turning Point.

I've listened to small parts of the broadcast since but not enough to truly have a feel.

Plus, I want this to be about you guys. So away we go! Just one qualifier: Criticism is fine. For them, for me, for whoever. Profanity and crossing certain lines are not.

Cutting them slack bc it was 1st but long way to go... @DeAngeloHall23 needs to add more insight @juliedonaldson_ needs to find role and not random facts @RealBramW was ok but didn’t paint picture #WFTSI

I assume this means that he misses Chris Cooley and not Chris, as in me, from my "glorious" run on the team broadcast from 2010-2014.

Julie needs to get DHall in line...he's a broadcaster not a cheerleader. Enthusiasm is great but that screaming is incredibly unprofessional. That yelling over Bram needs to stop right away.

Cooley's knowledgeable analysis spoiled us
D Hall has quite a ways to develop that skill
He also needs to remain quiet during Bram's PBP call
Julie has already stated she needs to not talk during Bram's call
Bram could be more concise;
"Less is more"
