Burkhardt is OK. I think Olsen stinks but he's just a placeholder for Brady, they weren't going to invest in a big name filler.
I'm going to miss Michaels on SNF. I like Tirico, but Michaels on PBP makes any game feel bigger. SNF has always felt like the big game of the week. I do like Herbie's work on the college front so that should be an interest TNF duo.
Buck and Aikman on ESPN is going to be weird. MNF has often been an after thought. I'm not sure if the schedule makers adjusted and gave them more favorable games, or if ESPN is hoping that the A-List broadcasting duo will give the perception that their shitty slate of games is better than it really is. Bad games plus bad broadcasters was the MNF formula of recent years.
Schedule makers definitely adjusted. Worst games may be the Pats games.
