Hard knocks would really help the Redskins brand I imagine I dunno, Incognito is a horrible person and a racist. That might mean they don't pick the Raiders this year. Plus I'm sure the NFL would rather the Raiders appear next year because of the move to Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but he would draw tons of attention and I know I would want to watch it, it’s almost like they picked him up for hard knocks. That’s true and all but if they make the playoffs then they’re out of contention and the AB/Gruden era is still fresh and exciting for Raiders fans and the entire NFL.

dyst Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 What if the Raiders make the playoffs this year? There is no guarantee that Hard Knocks can just wait till next year to get the Vegas move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the standards are that the Raiders must not make the playoffs to be an option next year, then they're pretty much guaranteed to be an option next year. A cranky AB and Derek Carr thrown under the bus and/or off the team? Vontaze Burfict suspended indefinitely? They wouldn't even have to edit the videos, the show would write itself.

PartyPosse Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I really doubt Incognito moved the needle in terms of Hard Knocks. If anything the focus would be IMO on Gruden, Carr, Ferrell, Antonio Brown and Hunter Renfrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Kev Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 A month on Dan's yacht this year, and a month in Vegas next. That's what I'd do if I was involved in it, kinda like a working holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTRDynasty Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I’m sure the other coaches loved Gruden’s comment about him probably being gone if we don’t make the playoffs. That’s one way to motivate your staff 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I'm waffling on my stance. Yeah, Hard Knocks would be fun...but at the same time, knowing how things go for this franchise, I think there'd be a chance for an unmitigated disaster to happen. And I'm not talking, like, your buddy who's a Cowboy fan calling you up and being like, "Daaaaaamn, ya'll look terrible!" I'm talking like...front page news that no one wants and that sports fans EVERYWHERE are discussing. I've got no basis for this, obviously Hard Knocks hasn't announced where they're going but...just knowing how things go with the Skins...I get that feeling.

I believe that the team on Hard Knocks has heavy influence on the editing and what is released, so I dont think anything bad would come out. NFL wouldnt want to put their own teams in a bad light.

NFL wouldnt want to put their own teams in a bad light. I watched a Finlay TV show yesterday from camp where he had Keim on and talked about it. Ditto this morning Paulsen talked about it. Combining those narratives: Keim doesn't think the Redskins get it. He thinks the Raiders get it. Finlay does think the Redskins get it -- but is less confident about it after checking on it during camp yesterday. Keim said of the people he talked to no one has heard from Hard Knocks Paulsen said he understands a team has good editing control over episodes before they are put out. He also said he listened to a podcast which had Jay's son on it where he said he believes the Raiders can opt out because they coached the senior bowl this year. In other words, the league won't insist on the Raiders because of the senior bowl. I guess will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like remember how Ocho Cinco went out in Miami? That was on Hard Knocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 It'll be awesome. I remember when there was some sideline game footage of Zorn and Jason Campbell and all the homers were like "Oh my goodness!

Malapropismic Depository Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 You mean to tell me, they still have not announced the team ? I'm convinced they're milking this as long as they possibly can, just to accumulate more exposure, to build up a bigger "fanbase" for the TV show.

I dunno, I don't think holding out this long increases a fanbase. Either people watch Hard Knocks or they don't. Might be a spike in depending on who the team is but I think HK has their fans regardless of who the teams are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Skins Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 From a football standpoint, our offseason depth chart battles seem much more interesting than the Raiders. We have a QB battle, a WR battle, a LB battle, a CB battle, a safety battle, and rookie storylines at RB and d-line as well. Who do the Raiders have? A bunch of big name free agents whose spots on the roster are already guaranteed. If it was a show about in-season play, the Raiders might have us beat, but Hard Knocks is about training camp and guys struggling to make the team. I think we have the clear edge in that department.
