If I didn't have HBO, I'd get it. I've seen a couple full seasons of Hard Knocks. I really liked the Likns pre-season. Watching that seasons rookies become superstars (Aiden Hutchinson) was really fun. I like the stage being set for Spoons contract and some JS behind the scene conversations...but that's just me...it's interesting to me and nowhere to see it. The D has a huge strength up front and they can't attack SDarnold so easy to see how the O has an advantage....

I’d recommend putting it on the back, and a small hawk head on the left chest

Or maybe the green feathers 12 as 1

The offense seems way ahead of the D right now, they were doing whatever they wanted. There were the usual fights, but that's going to happen sometimes. Coaches handled it well.
I think I'd rather hear that than the other way around. I'm not at all concerned about a defense coached by Macdonald. Fleury at this point is still an unknown, so it's encouraging to hear that the offense seems to be humming, even if it is just practice.

Yep... Defense doesn't matter without pads.... Pads came on and people started feeling it.

When you can let the runner cut, the WR clear with no hand fighting... things look smooth... the idea is the bump up the offense.. and Im glad to see the D not happy, but came out swinging after. YOu can tell they wanna destroy, but you can't do that to your own team.

Which they still almost did with fights... but the .. end of the show you see them forgiving (Distant cameras, not an upclose fake it)

AI/ChatGbt kinda makes those old programs obsolete, least for the simple stuff.
I just snagged your photo and asked CHATgbt to clean it up to use on a T-shirt.
Literally took less than 5mins total

Biggest thing I noticed watching that first episode is the culture. It’s all about the person playing next to you and what can be done to benefit the team, and in turn, each other. That, and JS calling BS on a report from Ian Rapoport about Spoon. Everything about that episode amplified my belief that MM, JS, and the coaching staff truly care about the players. They are not just disposable pawns.

oh that's right. I forgot about that part in my review.

Glad JS revealed that he set Ian straight and made him go tell Spoon's agent that sh*t wasn't coming from us.

Just more of Ian Rapoport trying to get clicks.



"Spoon got wigged out, not last night, the previous night because he and Rappaport reported that we were making him the highest paid guy and he [Devon Witherspoon] wasn't accepting it, and da, da, da. So I called Ian and was like, "Hey, you need to call the agent and tell him that's not f*cking coming from us." Mo talked to Spoon and everything is fine. He gets it, we are in a good spot now."

So, Ian Rappaport hit the hornets nest to piss off Spoons agent is what I felt that I got from that.

I enjoyed the show. Coach Macdonald… can’t say enough about the guy. I absolutely love him.
His talking point with Brady Russel toward the end, telling him he crossed the line with D Hall, that takes guts and instincts as a leader to step in and set things straight.

Can’t wait to watch more episodes. Very impressed so far. And I’ve never watched any Hard Knocks before
