Claw Massage posted:I did enjoy Devonta Freeman being shocked that he got hit on a route. I liked Steven Jackson's reaction even more. Steven Jackson was legitimately the most interesting part of that episode and this is only his 2nd Falcons training camp... and he's loving hurt, so he likely won't be featured for poo poo the rest of the way. There are almost no other falcons veterans involved in this filming, other than Roddy running his mouth. It seems like they're all pulling a James Harrison.

Just always make it the Bengals and Jets. We can alternate.

Gookzilla posted:The season with Chad Johnson legitimately asking Marvin Lewis how money, banks, and stocks worked? And Carson Palmer making people smell his fingers after having them up a center's rear end all practice? I don't remember much from that season for some reason, but just off your brief description it does sound pretty good.  I was just curious because I literally don't remember much from that season at all.

Jets one was also great because Rex Ryan gives the most motivating and entertaining speeches Ive ever heard from a sports figure.

"He couldn't play dead in a B Western" is still the greatest moment of Jets Hard Knocks.

Shath Hole posted:Just out of curiosity, what about this season is bad compared to previous seasons being good? Let me put it this way. Before the Bengals Hard Knocks I was possibly the biggest hater of James Harrison on this board. Do a search of my post history (don't do that to yourself), look how often I expressed my hate for him or hoped he would be seriously injured during an illegal tackle. I like him now. A lot. I haven't seen the new Hard Knocks yet (HBO GO  ) but the last one was so compelling that the NFL's worst villain became a favorite of mine, and that should tell you something.

I don't think it's as bad/boring as everyone is saying. I genuinely like some of the players and i'm probably fueling a ton of hatred towards Mike Tice

Mughe posted:Man that was boring as hell. Steven Jackson owns, but that minute long "I'm a leader" speech was loving terrible. The Falcons are making me dislike Steven Jackson and that is unacceptable. The before and after photos of the players is pretty cool though. But other than that any time Mike Smith is on screen I feel like it's a commercial break. :edit: My god that was dull. I was hoping to find something worth changing the thread name to, but I think I might have nailed it the first time around.  Did the coaches collude to have the Falcons ruin Hard Knocks for good?

I don't see how anyone can dislike any season of Hard Knocks. I feel like that crew could follow me around at work and somehow make it interesting.

Look, it isn't so much that it is bad as it is that the other seasons stand head and shoulders above it, so far. I feel like they chose too many boring people to follow and Roddy White alone can't overcome the tepidness of the rest of the cast.

I'm willing to give it time. Mike Smith is amazing at being terrible on screen which is going to be a problem though. Maybe we'll find out he loves the Simpsons or something like Philbin loves Seinfeld to make him slightly interesting.

they've put it on HBOGo in the past, it's usually just not up as quickly as regular HBO programming and won't last long once the season ends.

That episode was loving terrible. Remember the first episode of Hard Knocks when it was Miami, in 2012? That poor guy who gets cut on his first day, the three quarterbacks, the storylines, even the intro - there's just no comparison.

Jets one is really good as is the Chiefs. Also look up Inside Training Camp: Jaguars Summer which was an NFL Network produced series that was really fun and cool and had you rooting so God drat hard for Josh Scobee.

Everyone said our season was boring when it aired lol Basically every year people say "ugh why can't the Jets be on it again?" I just love seeing this side of football. It's awesome having access to meeting rooms, film sessions, hear how coaches and executives speak, etc. It's also a great reminder of how extraordinarily big, strong, and athletic these guys are. They do such a good job capturing the intensity of football.

How can you recommend seasons without including the 2009 Bengals for the joy of watching an organization running on brusque ugliness.   Their business practices were incredible, such contempt for the players. Mike Brown had no concept of how terrible he'd come across by running his team in an 'emperor's new clothes' family-loaded environment.

This horrible episode is a perfect storm of a boring uncharismatic team and a terrible job of editing and finding storylines. They haven't even really highlighted the usual group of rookies that viewers follow throughout the episodes to see how and when they get cut. I guess that uglyass white dude with the plantation hat, but I would prefer never to see him on screen.

I actually liked that because I don't really want to get to know Prince Shembo. Who they'll probably have a segment on pretty soon because I don't think they can keep ignoring him. The only time he was on screen that I noticed him was in the talent show thing where he said his name was rookie.

For gently caress's sake you had Ochocinco on your team at the time. The real complaint was that Philbin was boring, which was fine because it was balanced out by a bunch of absolutely incredible stuff like "I gotta call my gramma".
