FOX Sports is doing something different for their broadcast of the New Orleans Saints-Washington Redskins game.
They are debuting “team oriented analysts”. Dick Stockton will be doing the normal play-by-play. However, Brian Billick will be in the booth giving analysis from the Saints point of view … while Brian Baldinger will be doing so for the Redskins.
The two will be breaking down the teams’ play, what their goals should be and coaching moves that should make.
It should be interesting because (a) how will it come off with these analysts breaking down just one side of the coin, (b) air time for both guys to get this done, (c) keep the play-by-play flowing and (d) how Billick, a novice at this, will hold up against the much more experienced Baldinger.
We will update how successful this experiment has been as the game goes along.
: Well, so far, so nothing. It was kinda rough in the beginning since all three were, at times, talking over each other. Now, they’ve seemed to have scrapped the idea as Billick has been doing a lot more Redskins stuff than he should under the rules.
