Especially after they visited Tennessee right before she died. Very nice nod to a legend.

My favorite moment was seeing Diggs emotional on the sidelines after that interception. You can see how much this opportunity means for him and I really hope it turns out for him.

Ngl. I enjoyed it cuz I’m a hawks fan but it was kinda boring. Hard knocks should go back to showing shitty teams. It was way more entertaining wether its Drew Rosenhaus trying justify why AB needs his helmet a certain way to Gruden or a delusional Corey Coleman asking to be traded because he’s listed as a backup on the depth chart. It lacked drama this year for obvious reasons.

This was the first season I've seen. And after watching it I would have been very bored if it wasn't my team. Doesn't really want to make me go watch other seasons. So many long transition times of nothing.

When it's bad teams, its more entertaining. The only unexpected players on the 53 are there mostly because people got injured.

Yeah it was pretty tame. Shows how much of a well oiled machine we have, as opposed to a shit team like the Browns. That season is a must watch.

In terms of drama and antics it was weak. But if you appreciate a rare look behind the scenes into a sports franchise which didn't just win the championship but runs everything from the top down at an elite level then you enjoyed it. Just think about how rare it is for a sports franchise, globally, to be ran as well as the Seahawks franchise is right now.
I like to think of it like there being a reality show of a very very healthy loving romantic relationship. Most people want drama, toxicity and wild twists. That's what they are entertained by. A healthy loving couple is "boring". But if you are truly interested in human relationships then you are very intrigued and interested in seeing the behind the scenes of such a relationship.

I always notice B Roll. I secretly wish I was a B Roll guy. I could just imagine the camera person being like, "FINALLY, an Osprey! Ooh, and it's diving for a fish! NO, NOT BEHIND THE TREES!"

They should’ve just come to my house, I have one that hunts around here constantly.
Its nest is fucking rad, too.

The cut conversations were interesting. We watched the Aiden Hubbard convo and couldn’t figure out if he made the 53, was going on the 70, or was gone. It’s a sign of the way they do this very respectfully and positively.

Editors went absolutely crazy for that five minute montage at the beginning

I’m gonna need 22 more episodes of my favorite show this year. Take me all the way through Super Valentines Bowl.

Really proud of how the team carried themselves during this filming on Hard Knocks. Great promo to get excited for real football.

Happy for Foster to make the squad. Looks like Diggs just needs to work on conditioning and learning the scheme. Interesting that Arnold is in the building too. I'm pumped for Wednesday!

What was Milroe so mad about?
Also, Jake Peetz is gonna be a head coach within 3 years, maybe 2. Book it.
Also, Mike is the fucking man.

Didn’t really feel like Hard Knocks. Felt like they didn’t really cover anyone who got cut. Barely knew any of the rookies.

u/Chem_is_tree_guy 1h ago
I haven't watched Hard Knocks in over a decade, so this might be a stupid question: do you think there was less rookies getting cut and time for that due to the multiple injuries? I feel like they both took a lot of air time AND meant less people cut

u/MayorBakefield 1h ago
It is more that they don't do cuts every week, now it is just at the end of training camp

Dinos undefeated. Love living near the VMAC!
anyway, I would have loved more "you made the team" clips but alas.

Emmanwori reminded me that he's still a young kid feeling the pressure and just needs space to share his feelings and have someone listen to him and validate what he's going through. Loved that scene with him and Mike.

u/discOHsteve 22m ago
Can't tell if Diggs is just quiet or just uncomfortable

u/serpentear 19m ago
Probably a bit of both.

Mike laying sideways in his chair like a renaissance painting didn’t help either lmao

u/ollovito 26m ago
Milroe either doesn't feel fully bought into the culture and scheme or feels the pressure to develop and make the most of his opportunities. I can't help feel we will at some point trade him to a team with a different offensive philosophy or just aligns better culturally. Something just feels off a bit.

He's a young man that's definitely on the internet and seens a lot of the negativity towards his playing ability we have watched on the field. But he might also be the only player on the roster right now that doesn't seem like he is training and practicing to be a starter, but given he is so far away from that conversation I suppose it doesn't matter? We have an awesome backup. I want to see him taking strides and pushing himself to show the league he can be a guy.

Obvious AI use in the script.

That’s how Hard Knocks has always framed things though. And the cheesy puns.

Mike is the star of Hard Knocks. We’ve all known he’s a gem.. the world is just getting to see it first hand.
We are lucky to have him and John.
