Can't wait to see the episode when Sam and Rashid get it going.

I’m kinda hoping they don’t show any of that, the less the rest of the NFL sees the better IMO

I get it but they can't just keep Shaheed under wraps completely. lol

Garbage

Nothing more than a distraction for the players

I loved it! I thought it was GREAT. But that's coming from the POV of somebody who isn't PNW local any more so I don't have a chance to go to training camp. This dropped me right in the middle of theirs and inside the building. Also never bothered to watch any other season so didn't know what to expect. And that Price montage looked straight out of a movie.

I enjoyed seeing the Human side of the players and coaches. Let's us inside their bubble a little bit.
Nice to see some Football again!

Here is what is currently available to the public.

Obviously there could be stuff that’s not available to the general public but I think there is less to worry about than there is to worry about.

If the picture is hard to read you can download/open the file, it’s completely safe.

So Hard Knocks basically captured him at the early stage of recovery when he's still waiting for that post-surgery swelling to go down.

Something else, I'm not sure how many fans/players around the country really know or appreciate how stunning their HQ is. They're seeing this at the same time another NFC West team continues to make news with their facility. Now I don't know whether it's an issue or not, but look at the difference in that view.

I definitely will watch however don’t want it to either become a distraction or for anything that we do to get out to other teams for them to implement.

I doubt any NFL training facility beats ours, least in terms of the setting, sheer beauty and relaxed atmosphere.

I’ve been to many/most of the stadiums and IMO ours is arguably the best.
With no valid argument available, easily top 3.

Loved seeing our team on it for once. Coach is such a leader, but I like the humbleness he showed in that scene with Kupp where he got so excited at what Kupp pointed out to him. MacDonald is humble enough to not think he's the only one with the answers. I liked how he handed Russell too after the dustup.

You guys might have said this in the game day chat. Some people were wondering if Sam quickly changed the subject on Kupp when he started talking about Romo to avoid a drunk Tony story from airing

And I love Rex Ryan taking shrapnel from Coach keeping receipts lol

I haven't checked for sure yet, but ChatGPT told me that Amazon Prime people can temporarily sign up for HBO Max for like $11 a month, which is better than adding it on Xfiniti for twice the price. Plus, I can only assume that canceling it on Prime is WAY easier than trying to ever cancel anything on Xfiniti... I'm thinking I'll wait for the whole series to air and sign up on Prime, binge-watch the whole thing, then cancel again.

That’s my plan as well

Breeze off the water, able to boat commute across the lake since many of these guys live on the lake as well. Water is relaxing to be around as well.

24 hours later and the episode has been uploaded on tv/film streaming sites. Not that anyone should post an example of such a LINK.

Hammond is amazing.

That was why Pete was always against our doing it. Realistically though, no one is going to leave a special play up on a white board.

Yep all those hidden cameras inside the meetings rooms no actual cameras and then some boom mics and cameras on the training field are SUPER distracting..

At this point we should shut down our social media team that does crazy crap every day they come into the facility.
Reduce any Fan interaction on training camp... plus .. various other distractions... like I don't know... social media when they are literally sitting at home

Pete was clearly a goon and Marshawn just did an interview where he admitted he ran up to Pete and laughed in his face after RW got the call for his Pick


Ie: Welcome to 2026.... embrace media.. social media and AI.. or fall behind while complaining about it

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Just another created narrative. "Distraction"

Couldn't worry about this if I tried. Plus, my dot net brothers have taken care of the worry

And I'm NOT criticizing people for worrying. That's just human nature. But worrying about THIS team with THIS coach?
Seems like quite a stretch.

Others have similar thoughts to mine. I loved the first episode. I've never been to training camp, so I appreciated the inside look at what happens on the practice field and inside the facility.

One of my takeaways is the terms "Quarterback Room" and "Running Back Room," etc., refer to actual rooms where these position groups meet and study; I thought they were figurative.

I thought the bald eagles were cool. I liked that the crew included shots of them along with the lake, Blue Angels, and Mount Rainier. These are aspects of the Seahawks training camp that make it unique in the NFL, so why not provide that context? Might even be a good recruiting tool for future free agents.
