people saying that HBO is just looking for drama and there isn't enough of that on the fins don't remember what hard knocks originally was about. The last season of hard knocks with the jets wasn't the true direction hard knocks has gone in previously. Typically it focuses on young rookie trying to make the squad, a vet that is on the cusp of being cut, those kind of things.
Only last year when Rex Ryan had to put his foot print (pun intended) on it did it change. I expect them to go back to how hard knocks was in the past. I hear the jaguars are BEGGING to be on hard knocks but HBO won't let them because they are a small market team.
