could be a game-changer<\/a> in the broadcast booth. . . . I mean, there\u2019s been a conventional way. I sat up there for nine years and did it. Mike Tirico, there was a cadence. \u2018First-and-10, it\u2019s da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da,\u2019 and then you have to be timely in your responses and get out before the next play. But I think as long as we\u2019re on the same page, we love Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We\u2019re going to try to really educate the fans on some of the position battles, just the excitement of opening day in our stadium.\u201d<\/p>\nIt will be interesting to see how they handle the game. It was always difficult to envision Gruden sticking to the nuts and bolts of what\u2019s happening during a play without blurting out \u201cwhat the hell was that?\u201d before laying out for Barber\u2019s input.<\/p>\n
And maybe it will be a game-changer. Maybe, in time, the current formula of non-athlete narrator of the action plus one or two former players or coaches will be replaced by two or three former players and coaches who supplement the visuals with the kind of commentary that will pivot from describing what we can all see to peeling back the curtain as to what\u2019s really happening.<\/p>\n
But here\u2019s the key \u2014 it can\u2019t be a bunch of jargon. It has to be communicated in a way that makes it seem simple and easy to understand by a casual fan.<\/p>\n
However it goes, we\u2019ve heard that Gruden and Barber have been putting in a lot of work to prepare for this. They have a strategy. We\u2019ll find out on Saturday night how they execute it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Saturday night, the Buccaneers will host the Chiefs for a preseason game.
