Statement from Steve Sabol about hard knocks

I remember last year Jason Taylor who was on the Jets' season of Hard Knocks said it would be good for the Dolphins, "believe it or not".
 
Damn, I no longer get HBO......I will have to ask my bro if he will record it for me. Maybe someone can stream the episodes here??:up:
 
imo its a great move. it will help put buts in the seats imo, and for us hardcore fans we get an inside look at the position battles we are looking foward too. this has me more excited for this year
 
As a dolphin fan here in Virginia I am excited about getting to see the team on tv. I probably read more articles in local Florida papers than my own local town trying to keep up with the team, so I think its a great opportunity to connect with the fanbase as a whole.

If it can hurt the team, it can help as well. I don't agree it will hurt the team at all but you have to talk about both (not one without the other).

I think it could be a huge distraction for basicly a new team. Not new players but new D, new O, new coaches. We need the team to focus on football. It might not distract everybody or anybody. But in that same breath it might. When the coaches are discussing things that would be in private in most cases will now be shown for everybody to see and that is not always a good thing. Will the coaches hold back on something that needs to be said because he does not want that to go on T.V.?

I'm not saying any of this will happen but you wanted me to give you some of the things that could hurt by being on Hard Knocks. I'm sure their are alot of things that I left out.

Except Philbin said it was purely a "Philbin only move". Philbin reportedly had to talk Ross into it.

The only plausible reason I can think of for this is that Philbin thinks it will put added pressure on players to step up and perform under additional scrutiny? Otherwise, total business move.

This will help ticket sales. That is about all it will do for the football team. Add this to "Star" part owners and all games being later in the day or at night for the fan's comfort.

As real fans, we will enjoy watching it however.

There is no way that our new coaches wanted this.

P.S as far as us being "exciting"......We were like the 20th team they asked. In fact, they were getting desperate to get anyone.

I wonder how much Ross is getting paid for it.

So you were you in the meetings at Davie, eh?

Interesting, link please because I don't see this anywhere...
Admittly my comment is opinion. However, you seem to be quoting Philbin.
 
episodes will consist of them going to heat games :lol:...tbh,tannehills wife will be all over it.because they seem to involve the players families in some capacity.they will also make it a point to focus on the qb situation.i'm sure as they follow his storyline, they'll find a role for her in the show for obvious reasons.
 
Miami Dolphins reaches out to fans by hosting "Hard Knocks"

Here’s my honest take on the Dolphins doing Hark Knocks: It’s a great idea for this team considering all of their issues, which are mostly perception related.

We will either discover they are as dumb as most fans think, or the organization will gain some credibility. Those were my thoughts back in January when whispers about Hard Knocks first surfaced.

The only concern I had about the Dolphins hosting the HBO Reality Series was whether or not it was fair to Philbin?

Was opening up his first training camp the right approach for this rookie head coach?

Ross apparently had the same concerns, and tried to talk Philbin out of it.

“The decision was a football decision. Made by our football operations staff. It was supported by our owner, but in no way shape or form did he force us to make the decision,” Philbin said. “It’s a football show, a show that will showcase our players….It’s a great opportunity for us to connect with our fans. The people who aren’t going to be able to connect with us on a daily basis.”

If Philbin’s fine with it, and he swears he is, then why should anyone else have an issue?
