Around the league 2022 Camp edition

[FrenchSkin]

I had stopped watching Hard Knocks the last few years, it was always more of the same and I got bored of it.
But, just watched the first 2 episodes of this season, with the Detroit Lions, I gonna say the combination of Dan Campbell, some of his coaches and players, and a franchise in long awaited rebuild mode, makes it highly entertaining !
Have you guys given it a look ?

It’s been good, I’ll be rooting for the Lions. Still have my doubts on Campbell, but he sure would be a great high school coach, that’s the vibe he gives me.

Yeah my immediate first reaction to the opening segment and its plethora of metaphors was "he's doing too much", but after 2 episodes it feels like he's authentic about it and it connects with players and coaches.
We'll see if he also has the tools to manage a roster, scheme and play call in the NFL, but with what Vrabel has been able to do in Tennessee, I do think this tough and loud former player type of coaching can be efficient in this league.

Some of the coaches on the Lions like Staley and Glenn, they are so competitive that I almost feel like they need to tone it down. They're not playing anymore but still act like they are.. lol. But none the less very entertaining stuff.
