NFL Hard Knocks

[Fijimn]

Looks like the Texans will be the team featured...or, more likely, JJ Watt and those other guys. There are a few good story lines. Unfortunately, the Saints pulled out of the two team practice that was scheduled before the preseason game.

FYI, ran into Vince Wilfork at a bbq place in Pearland. He is one big dude. Gave me hard time for wearing my FSU stuff.

It usually takes 6-8 teams saying no before one finally agrees to be featured. All the teams with good potential stories turn it down. I believe the Browns and Bucs were at the top of their list this year.

Cleveland was the scheduled team this year, but the league let them back out.

Don't think I could take that much of Johnny Manziel.....had my full of him when he was playing for the Aggies.

This will basically be a JJ Watt informercial. Hopefully they find a few more good storylines, Clowney would be interesting to see how he bounces back.

There is always an attention grabbing rookie that turns into a good story but, you're right, this will be all Watt all the time.

Everyone thinks that the star is what Hard Knocks will be about but I can't remember a single season where a star stole the show. It always ends up being about the rookies, free agents, etc.

You're right other than the first year with the Ravens and the first time with the Bengals when Palmer and Chad Johnson were on a lot.

Arian Foster will either talk all the time or try and ignore the cameras all of the time.

It's usually about the rookies, the not for long players, and vocal position coaches. I'm sure JJ will be shown on camera and possibly a clip where the camera follows him for a day. Just the way it seems to play out.
