Count On An Open Training Camp

June 24th, 2012
“Mark, I’m thinking afternoon practice should start at 2:58 p.m. and fans should be no closer than 8.7 feet from the field.”

Looking around the NFL, Joe sees that a chunk of teams have released training camp dates and practices open to fans. This has Joe fired up, as an announcement from the Bucs must be coming soon.  

Joe’s been lucky enough to watch spring practices under the New Schiano Order, and Joe’s excited for fans to get their shot, especially those that braved the swelter of training camp under Raheem Morris. It’ll be interesting to hear fans’ persepective of the contrast.

Now Joe was concerned that Greg Schiano might not be a big fan of opening practices to fans and/or that he might be interested in getting out of Tampa for future training camps, but then Joe saw that Schiano’s mentor and Patriots chief Bill Belicheat has open practices at New England’s facilities. Therefore, Joe doesn’t expect Schiano and the Bucs to make significant changes to their camp activities.

Hopefully, for old time’s sake, Schiano will at least bark out one “toes one the line” for K2’s memory the Bucs faithful.

    1. You continue to over state his relationship with Belicheat. They are friends, but you like to make it seem like he worships Belicheat and tries to be him.

    2. Schiano is all about the community and embraces it. He knows how important it is to allow the public in to watch some practices. He’ll have open practices because he wants to, not because he checked to see how Bill does it.

    My ticket rep told me there’s going to be a season ticket holder only camp, so I’m assuming others will be open as well

    @Jessup – He should worship Belicheat and want to be like him. No shame their in most areas.
