Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Matty, Smoot, and Buster I understand what you all are saying about the differnces between Channels 4,5,7,9 and ESPN, CSN, NFL Network or whoever else comes to cover the team during training camp as opposed to HBO but could it really be [I]that[/I] bad ?

As far as Portis putting on a show ? Why would that be a problem ? He's put on a hell of a show on the field as a Redskin and I wouldn't mind seeing him on HBO. Maybe I could learn something about Bumber 17 that could let me see him the way that many of you see him. And you all talk about how I give Jason Campbell the blues ? Geez, I guess it's only the Friends of Danny who suffer huh ?

I'm just a glutton for Redskins coverage of any kind. I guess that's why I don't have a problem with it.
Well I'm just saying that I think it would be cool to have Hard Knocks covering the Skins.

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Why do you think some teams refuse to do it?

After the Ravens did it I recall some players commenting that looking back, yeah it was probably a distraction they didn't need.

If we were 12-4, maybe. At 4-12 we don't need any type of distraction that can control.

Ok true, it's a distraction. No need to do it. I mean, it's not like the secret 100% concentration game has worked since 1993. Buuuuut, I understand that there is no reason to add an extra distraction.

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Go to Dallas again!!! Give them a nice distraction.

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

I would love to see the Skins on there. The Bengals didn't seem to suffer too much last season, huh? Also, I hated Ochocinco, but after watching him on Hard Knocks, I think he is a cool dude and see him in a much better light.

CHILD PLEASE!!!

Yeah where I stay we have no Skins coverage, I would really like to see the ends and outs of our status as a team, are we fighting with each other or are we 1 unit.

I know that's how the Giants felt and said they would never do it again.I also want to say one thing,NFL films(is owned by the NFL) gives the teams first shot at the film and it's content ....HBO doesn't.

The Giants haven't done it though, have they?

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

I'd love to see it, but worry that some information would be seen by other teams that would help them game plan around us. I've watched bits and pieces of the show cause usually I don't care about the team they are showing.

I think it would make for a cinderella story to have HBO do a show and then we win a SB. It would be nice to purchase the whole video package and just watch it all the time, but that happening is almost nill. We will be lucky to get to 8-8 this coming season or better. I'm not saying it can't happen cause I'm banking on a 9-7 season simply cause I know we have talent on the team but not utilized correctly. Plus I think Zorn was way over his head and didn't have a clue. My homerism says we could go all the way but the little voice inside my head says 9-7 and maybe make the playoffs.

No offense but if you have trouble see Bumber 17 after 6yrs of being on the team you've got blinders on or need glasses.

I see him but I just don't see him the way that you all do. And that's as a guy that deserves another shot. This thread is not about him and I know that I can go all day ripping that guys game apart, so i'll leave it at this. If after 6 years even your most loyal supporters don't feel that you deserve a franchis QB type of deal then why should I think about building around you ? I said Hard Knocks would be good when it comes to him because maybe I could see something that he deals with in practice, maybe he looks like a totally different QB there. Who knows? I just see him during the games, and I don't like what I see.

When it comes down to it, I want to see this team as much as I can and if he's here then I'd see him as well.
