Hard knocks - factory of sadness edition

[Dogs Of War]

Can’t wait. Watched a few promos for it so far

Always good when it’s a team in the same division as you.

When does the first episode air?

 

[nick87]

I just caught the first ep on YouTube via some alternate means

Banging start...

My takeaways...

- Wish Tyrod was slightly more accurate, he's a likeable guy who if was a LITTTTLE bit better, would be a viable franchise qb
- Hue couldnt be less inspiring, Todd Haley and Gregg Williams come off as their public profile is, absolute f**kwits
- Baker looks like he moves well and throws some VERY nice balls, no way he sits the year
- Christian Kirksey looks like an emerging leader on Defence
- Myles Garrett is f**kING RIPPED
- My low key love affair for Carl Nassib continues, i think that dude can PLAY. Id be stoked if the eagles traded/signed him in a few years

I'll get onto this tonight!

I felt a little awkward watching the stuff about Hue’s mum, especially the stuff when he was in the office alone.

Just feels like they could have left most of that out.

Yeah but then i guess its part of the deal showing how these coaches dont even really feel like they have the time to mourn their mothers passing properly

True, I just feel they could have still done that without spending so long showing him sobbing alone at his desk.

Anyway, that aside I agree he’s a really uninspiring coach, at least from what they’ve shown. Will be interesting to see how he handles the Coleman trade in the next episode.

I rewatched it again today and the the sneaky underrated storyline for me is how clearly Todd Haley appears to (me at least) to be sort of low key undermining Hue
This is a guy SWEATING on an 0-4 start with Tyrod, Haslam sacks Hue, gives him the job as the interim and he immediately puts Baker in and maybe wins 4-5 games and parlay's it into another crack at the HC gig.

That "living in your fears" line Haley talked about is a classic Tomlinism.

Anyone have a link they can PM me?

They've got the first episode up on NFL.com and the Browns site.
