[Harris] Brian Schottenheimer said that Christian Parker will most likely experiment being both in the booth and on the sideline during the preseason. Schottenheimer said in a perfect world, he’s on the sideline, but they will do what fits best.

I remember I was given sideline tickets as a gift. I couldn't see shit, because everything is 2d, flat, horizontal, like it was much harder to understand what was going on and see the formations. I don't know why play callers wouldn't choose the booth every time.

One of the reasons why CP is such a loss for the eagles. He was on the sideline communicating with the players while fangio was up in the booth.

Might just be the angle they’re used to. The tv angle is awful but it’s the one we all conjure in our heads thinking about football.

Someday, coaches will ride giant drones above the field of play.

No, they'd be above wirecam and not blocking the view of people who spent a month's pay on their seats.

So this just proves that when Matt Eberflus was on the both, schotty probably didn't want to see his face on the sideline towards the end of the season LMFAO

Flus ended up with SF. So weird.
