On that note Brian Billick was the analyst for the Saints/Bucs tilt, and I thought he was fantastic, he would call plays ahead of time by formation, and really broke down offensive positioning. It was nice to have a commentator talk football rather than spew generalities.
I have found that coaches that turn commentators immediately after coaching in the league have the best insight. Vermeil was pretty good right after he finished with the Chiefs. He has studied the players, he knows the coaches, he understands the systems. Hard to beat that kind of insider knowledge.
