NBC announced its plans to utilize its dual SkyCam for the primary viewing of the Tennessee Titans versus Pittsburgh Steelers matchup on Nov. 16.

What do you guys think of making this the primary camera view to watch football? The company I work for does some enhancements for SkyCam. Curious what you guys think of the view.

i like it because it's nice to see what the WRs are doing. and you also have a better view of the OL / DL. you can see DL guys using a swim move for example without needing replay.

Yup. There are so many things I see as positives with the only con I can think of is we won't see the flats area (short, near sidelines). But most of the game is played in the middle of the field anyway. With this view, we'd now be able to see:
- QB head movement on pass plays
- safeties
- lanes for the RB
- DLinemen alignment

I hope that the Twitterverse likes it and maybe the broadcasters will make this a fixture for watching football.
