London Kev Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Yes, I would love to see our guys on there. Like most reality type shows, the editors can dictate or even create the narrative. But it seems to be a fairly honest representation of what actually happens at training camp, and although it does seem a little voyeuristic at times, I like it.

Warhead36 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hell yeah. It'd be really fun. I don't buy the distraction argument. These guys are in front of cameras all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'll take a pass on that. Not adamantly against it but I just prefer the Skins stay as quiet as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oraphus Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 hell YES... as a fan i get to see the inner working of my team and gives me something to care about (football wise) prior to the season. I dont care whether the coaches like it.. this team has been pretty bad for a long time (without doing hard knocks) and they should jump at ANY opportunity to gain some of the fan base back!

But....it could also majorly backfire too. If the office is as much of a **** show as some claim, it could be a lot of public egg on the face. But would still be really entertaining at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissident2 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Yes, because it would drive the suits out there insane to have someone chronicling their every move. Didn't seem to hurt the Browns much last year. I'd love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetThePointsSoar Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Keep thinking any day now, we'll finally at least know something. I think the latest they've ever announced the team has been around the middle of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think Haskins makes the Redskins a much more interesting get. But hard to miss that the NFL Network covered if I recall over 20 teams in the draft -- Redskins not being one of those teams. i presume the Redskins FO didn't want the cameras. If so, I can see them digging hard against Hard Knox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hell yes. The value as a fan I'd get out of seeing the behind-the-scenes stuff would far outweigh the potential short-term negatives. Aside from some superstitious belief, I don't see any negatives. The "distraction" is not that big a deal. Hell Jay Gruden has already handled it once before as OC of the Bengals (and was entertaining). The Browns doing it last year gained them a lot of fans/interest and made it clear the team needed to move on from Hue. Showcased Dorsey and their new franchise QB. It wasn't bad for them at all imo. I can't imagine being a fan and not crossing my fingers hoping for this chance to see behind the scenes, in the meeting and coaches rooms, and into the locker room...now more than ever with actual young talent sprinkled at all levels of the roster. Especially on cut day and hearing their logic with some of the tough choices they'll have. Getting to see who actually has a voice in the decision-making.

For a franchise that according to some like Peter King "are bleeding fans" it might actually help. While I get their preference for privacy -- I actually think it would serve them well as to some needed PR and attention. They are getting some attention for the Haskins pick but before that it's been sort of a forgotten franchise by the national nfl media in recent years and I think that might have something to do with their declining attendance and TV ratings.

I would order it the day before episode 1 and cancel it the day after the last episode. There is no way I wouldn't watch it. And it would be awesome to see the behind the scenes stuff. But as I said before, I hope they don't get chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cakmoney61 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I would not want to see it happen, but if it did, I would absolutely watch it. On the other hand, if they attempt to make a mockery of the team, I would not watch going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the guy who went 2-5-1 then got fired, followed by a record of 5-3 with his replacement and a lot of buzz going into the offseason? Like I said ... didn't hurt the Browns all that much last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbeagle85 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 On 5/1/2019 at 12:55 AM, BleedBNG said: Not worse, in fact it's possible we could make the playoffs. I feel Case will be the starter for as long as he's healthy, while Colt will be backup. If God forbid both of them go down like our QB's did last year, then Haskins will take over. But I feel the Redskin explosion will begin next year. We're pretty much at the point (or we'll find out this year) that we can go for BPA thru out the rounds of next years draft. Most of which will help give Haskins a solid OLine to work with. Not to mention adding some more talent in the D secondary. In other words, no big deal doing Hard Knocks this year, but just don't bother us about it next year. Couple of things here. The Redskins don't have a bad line I've already explained this in another thread. The Skins biggest problem is health. They have a top 10 offensive line when healthy. I believe Keenum starts and Haskins is backup. McCoys health is up in the air right now. Also don't sleep on Haskins he could win this job before the start or the season. As for the defense the Skins have spent high picks and a lot of money on the defense the last 3 years. They need to put up or shut up. Yeah they might be a little weak at CB, but you can't expect studs at every position. My only worry honestly is the coaching right now. There is enough talent on this team to win. Just don't know if we have the right people running it. As for Hard knocks I say no way. This team and organization has been a circus for years no need to let everyone get a inside look.

Idaho fan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Reported today that it’s down to 4 teams with the Skins being one of them. I would agree with others who don’t want to see it happen but would watch every second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo'sRangers Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 It would be absolutely mesmorizing for us. The in-fighting regarding camp and the individual players would be glorious here. We ARE Extremeskins for a reason. Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volsmet Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I believe Washington is going to get it, they are at about 50/50 odds to have a new coach next year & as much fun as Oakland would be, some speculation that the show really wants Las Vegas in 2020.

I agree. I think it’s got to come down to the Redskins and Raiders. Giants and lions don’t have nearly the number of storylines. I just have a hunch the Skins will be the selection.

You really can’t beat the Raiders drama, but Hard Knocks won’t follow a team with a new HC which makes it a good time to grab Washington & you can get all the Raiders drama when they move next year. I’ve never seen the show, but Gruden, Mayock & Brown in Vegas would be worth a watch I imagine. I also think Oakland may be able to push it off because they worked the sr bowl, but I’m not sure if that gives them any leverage or not. The Reuben Foster story & DH make us interesting. 11 minutes ago, Skinsinparadise said: I think the Eli-Jones dynamic along with Barkley would put them in play some.
