Saints one of 3 teams eligible for Hard Knocks (2 Viewers)

[Merl]

Bears, Broncos and Saints. As much as I'd love to see the Saints for selfish reasons, I'd be amazed if it isn't the Bears due to Caleb Williams. Or the Broncos. I'd say Saints are the last choice the NFL wants.

Bears, Broncos, Saints can be forced to do Hard Knocks in 2024 training camp

Most NFL teams don't want to appear on Hard Knocks, the annual training camp documentary partnership between HBO and NFL Films.

Hopefully the Broncos so it will piss off Payton.

When were we ever. We got some prime time games because of our offense but that was about it. No one really cared outside of the team we played and Saints fans.

Ehh, those games did help raise the team's profile, which is how you get Jake Haener admitting he watched all the Drew Brees film he could get. Lots of distant fans were built from that era.

I hope it isn't the Saints.

I kinda do. Come at me, bro.

Oh Dennis Allen on camera. That's definitely content the world is just dying to see.

He can just appear as a hologram. He only has 2 or 3 different catchphrases anyway.

What channel is this on ? I’ve never seen it

Sounds like it would be a distraction , people playing for the camera etc

And seems like a bad idea for a team that drafts a qb 1st over all if the bears do so

Since my expectations have been lowered, this is a time I wouldn’t mind being on HK. But I think they’ll opt for Payton or the Chicago market.

HBO, both through cable and streaming on Max.

The training camp version runs for 5 episodes from the week before the first preseason game (maybe 2 weeks now there are only 3 preseason games) up through the last preseason game and roster cut downs to the 53.

The in-season version lasts I believe 8 episodes and follows the team from about the midpoint of the season through the end.

It’s certainly viewed as a distraction around the league but if no teams volunteer for it, the League can and will force one of the 3 teams (Bears, Broncos, Saints) to do it and may even end up forcing another to do the in-season edition.

Bears or Broncos will be it...
We're no longer must see TV

. We’re the infomercial in the middle of the night.

want out of hard knocks? Hire Jon Gruden! Can you imagine JG on that show candidly roasting Roger the clown?

I would think it will be the Bears, Broncos really aren't very interesting unless they make some big splash at QB, and the Saints have no appeal.

The Broncos are probably a decent bet at trying to get a QB in the draft. That would increase their chances of being on the show.

hopefully its Denver, it would drive Payton crazy . lol

It would 100% drive him nuts, but his ego would eat it up.

Apparently Payton is putting the idea out there that it'll be welcome...he's trying to get ahead of the idea that he's an a hole

That ship has sailed.


I doubt it will be the Saints, if the Bears take Williams, they are the favorite. Broncos a not too distant second if they draft a QB. Saints a very distant third in that race.

Let's just get it over with.

 

[Corey504]

Yeah it aint gonna be us, we'll be to busy chopping wood in training camp.

 

[Bozzhawg318]

it's for sure going to be the Broncos. They've been wanting Payton on screen and he's in a bigger market with a new QB sure to be coming in.
I wished it was us though as the show use to be entertaining but having us be on it will be good to see our players more candid

 

[los226]

Ain’t nobody want to see the Saints lol
