I think it's a distraction, unflattering for any team, and I doubt it, but man i sure hope they do. That was some of my favorite tv watching ever.
Well it's only speculation but I really don't think Hard Knocks was Philbin's idea last year. From the kind of person I believe him to be, that was not probably his doing. I think he was being a good soldier and sucked it up and did it and was a good man about it, because that's his personality. I would be surprised if that wasn't all Ross on that one.
From Philbin's perspective, I don't see why perception matters. He did talk about the fact having them there gave them more tape which was a good thing. From Ross' perspective I probably wouldn't want them on again.
If I were them? No. What did they get out of it? What does any team really get out of it? More media exposure? Which accomplishes what? I see no benefit tbh. That said, I wish they were on Hard Knocks every year as a fan. It was fun to see them. Although, it was really bizarre coming to the forums and reading everyone psychoanalyzing every little thing. "Philbin picks up litter! WTF?!?! focus on your team!" or "Philbin picks up litter, love his attention to detail!" lol wat?
NO! Philbin had enough on his plate and still did HK in his first season at the helm. Did a admirable job I might add. Now that HK is out of the way, it's time to concentrate on football this offseason without all the cameras in his(and the teams) face. Maybe Ross needs to be on Shark Tank. HK is not his cup of tea.
Yes. It effected nothing. Us fans may have perceived things differently. But if Dan Carpenter makes a couple make-able FGs we are 10-6 and in the playoffs. It was awesome insight for fans. And made the miami dolphins "relevant" outside of us fans for the first time in over a decade.
As a fan I would love it. But I don't see it happening. Thought the decision was made by Ross b/c Miami took a "beating" in the media last off season and was a good PR move. I don't see Ross insisting they do it again. If anything would leave it in coach Philbin's hands to decide. I don't see Philbin being a media whore like Rex Ryan.
I loved watching it but I thought Philbin came off poorly on the show. He seemed to lack leadership and was socially awkward the entire time.
Jets finished 11-5 and lost in the AFC Championship game the year they did Hard Knocks. The Bengals finished 10-6 and lost the Wildcard game.
They're professional athletes... they should be use to the cameras being around them by now. If I were Philbin, I would be OK with doing Hard Knocks again. However that doesn't mean HBO will want to use Miami as their featured team in 2013 though.
I could see HBO wanting to have a team like the Redskins - RGIII's comback from injury, or a team with another young QB on it - Indianapolis, Seattle, San Francisco. Having done it with Tannehill and covering the QB "competition" this past year, I could see them going with a more "household" name (at least in terms of the whole country having interest) at QB.
Yeah I mean if Miami was the only willing team to do it, I think they'd go for it. However I could very well see them having a few other teams on top of their list.
Id do it again. This team needs all the attention it can get from a marketing standpoint. From what I saw on HK, HBO did a really good job with it, the players handled it well. Fans love it... so why not.
If I was Philbin? No. I got the sense that Philbin wasn't thrilled about it. He took it in stride and had some fun with it but I don't think he'd ever want to do it again, especially after the whole Chad Johnson incident became a huge story. And as Clark Kent stated, having every little thing analyzed under a microscope got annoying quick. If I was Ross? Absolutely. Why not? It's national exposure and makes the team interesting and relevant. As a fan? I loved it for multiple reasons. Being able to see inside your team that closely was fun, some of the best television I've ever watched as Seth said.
I'd like to see the NFL network evolve and branch into team networks, you know like how the college conferences have their own networks, how Texas has their own access..shoot, if I can see what's going on all the time, I'd pay for it...A lot of folks, not long ago, thought that you couldn't devote a whole network to one sport..
Most that I remember is 7/11 LOL. And Vontae being lazy and fat and slow. Chad Johnson getting owned by Sean Smith.
Well Tannehill/Moore/Garrard battle made the team attractive last year. Also embattled Ireland was something many could be compelled to watch. TV has a short attention span. HBO has done the Dolphins, and we aren't a real dynamic team, we don't have anyone that makes the team standout bar one guy, and that is Cam Wake. We are sooooooo yesterday (as TV views us). Those things add up to no more HK for the Dolphins. At least next year.
The Dolphins already have their own ½ hour show, called "Dolphins All Access" hosted by Jesse Agler and some gal (forget her name) on every week on FoxSportsFla. They also have a show on Sunday mornings on CBS4 at 11:30am called "Dolphins Weekly" hosted by Jim Berry. During the season, just before Dolphins Weekly they have The Joe Philbin Coaches Show.
Ironically most teams seem to over perform after being on it. It may look bad for perception and veterans may hate it............but you can't deny they don't practice a hell of a lot more harder while the camera's are around ;p
I never would have thought watching my favorite team on hard knocks would have ended up being the worst one I've seen. Sent from the depths of hell using Tapatalk.
