Mick Mixon and Mike Rucker

[Panther53521]

After getting home from the game, I watched the game over from the TV point of view. All I can say is the Mike Rucker and Eugene Robinson are night and day different. They was so much dead air in the broadcast. Mick would leave an opening for Mike and there was nothing. So either Eugene loves to talk or Mike just doesn't understand play by play and color commentator positions.

Yeah the dead air last night was really awkward. Still preferable to Joe Buck though.

Mixon did a great job! On the other hand, he was forced to either lead Rucker into conversation or carry the broadcast himself.

Rucker's just got to get used to it. Eugene wasn't so great early on either.

I've finally gotten used to Mick Mixon after like 10 years, but his insistence of randomly stating players' full names still bugs the hell out of me.

There's a reason Mike is calling preseason games.

What I hate about the telecast is the camera work.  I want to see who is on the field during preseason games.  They either zoom in on the QB or they show the blimp cam.  They show fans or coaches or have some graphic up on the screen and then switch to the ball being snapped.  You do not have time to see what the formation is, the defense is doing, etc.  I guess the best reason I have for attending games is you get to see the secondary, the formations, etc.  TV kills that part of the game.  Only for the fan who watches the ball all the time.
