Hard Knocks 4

[…..]

The trip through the dinosaur museum was wasted time. In fact, outside the initial locker room scene and a glimpse of Ariel, the Hayes dinosaur perspective ran its course in episode 1.

To me, its a lazy effort by HBO, showcases coaches more than players, though still worth the watch.

Just casting characters and stories....the likable weirdo (Hayes), the long shot good guy (Hill...the family guy), the pros pro (Keenum), the golden boy (Goff).
The know is going to make the team along with the other guys being featured for the most part.
Hill gives it an emotional counterbalance. If it when he gets cut that is supposed to garner and emotional response.
Why was Hill chosen....I don't know but my wife commented twice in last night episode (TE first she watched) what a good looking guy he is.

Yeah, I find it a bit hypocritical, pushing the human interest side with the kids and stuff when 2 minutes later its an F-Bomb blitz

Aren't we really thin on the secondary? I was confused when hard knocks showed Joyner doing well in practice. But I realized he was going up against the Rams WRs.

"Best Cover Corner I have ever seen" ~ Gregg Williams

I may not agree with that statement, but his opinion is the one that matters. Joyner is going nowhere, except to frisco for Week One.

I think he said press corner. Not sure how much of a difference it makes considering the hyperbole it reeks of from what we have seen of him so far.

I used to think of Kush as a joke a few weeks ago with his tank top fixation, but he would be a good back up center, which I don't remember much depth beyond Barnes for that..and they say he "anchors" well at Guard. I think he's a keeper.

As for the rest of the weekly on the bubble stars...I think Seau screwed up in Denver on coverage assignments, and needs a terrific, disciplined game not get cut this next time. I think Williams will be cut so hard, he will bounce.

Fisher..."69 false start ...GO" (repeat 9 times)
Nice to see coaches trying to correct stuff....
I like seeing Greg Williams pointing out running backs getting 5 more yards after contact and he's not going to put up with it...
pointing out to Seau that he is outside contain and WTF is he doing crashing in
to me, that's what I like about Hard Knocks, that and seeing players that care and get upset when their play isn't their best, even in PS games.

Just entertainment.

Ogletree must've been pissed last week because he was cheap shotting his own teammates in practice lol

 

[Hereforonething]

McRoberts should have been in there on that last series

He is a redzone beast. He should have been there. He is a lot better then Hill, no question

Important lesson for Keenum....don't slow down when you are in bounds.

Protect yourself at all times.

Yea that kinda shocked me when he took that cheap shot on Cunningham. Apparently it pissed Gurley off too. It's nice to see Tree being more aggressive though. He needs that attitude to play MLB. I just hope he saves it for the opponents, lol.

I like the football stuff most. I like seeing the inner workings of the coaches, and players with passion. However, I find it interesting and somewhat endearing that Will Hayes clings to beliefs so sincerely, against the world. He believes in mermaids, but not dinosaurs! I remember his main point in earlier episodes about an asteroid destroying the dinos, and he responded "If thats true, what about the dino's in the water? Where are they?" I think he meant that those in the water shouldn't have been affected like the land bound dinos (lol). But still, he doesn't acknowledge that for mermaids to be real, there must be enough of them to reproduce so they don't die out...The bones (unless their mythical structure is just gristle) are not there to be found.....He's not concerned about these things, and its interesting to me I guess..lol

I'd like to see them mix around the coverage a bit more. How much of Kush, Hill, and Keenum's wife do we need to see?

Actually ... those are probably the players (and friends/family) that agreed to let them inside their own little world. Maybe nobody else was willing to give them "intimate" access ??

Maybe - but I'd guess more of these guys want the limelight than that.

Yeah, have seen way too much of Mrs Keenum. Talk about fugly!

That's how it is every year... they dont want to show to much

Come on, man... Is that necessary?

It's not about football, it's about showing the daily lives of these players... Football is their job, but the game is only once per week.

It's the same for the NHL inside access stuff, you can hear some cool bits during practice, and cool stuff during the game, and lockerroom stuff, but it's mostly what these guys are doing in their off time, with their family, etc. It's not designed for the hardcore football fan.
