    I would have preferred less Rocky montages and doing stuff outside of football, and more insider discussions of x's and o's and roster decisions.

    First episode is never like that. The Hard Knocks routine hasn't changed from previous years. First episode is introduction to team and players. After that, it's when preseason games are shown along with preparation.

    1) Teams have control over anything that could give another team a competitive advantage (ie. X's and O's). If the Texans don't want you to see it, you won't see it.

    2) What roster decisions? It was the first week of camp. They haven't played a preseason game. Nobody's getting cut yet. Give it a couple weeks until the roster needs to be trimmed. That's when you'll see that kind of stuff.

    Off the top of my head, 3 players did it. I think Emmanuel Sanders finished 1 TD short of doing it as well.

    jk, I cheated.

    The 10 will probably be more difficult than the 1400 for Nuk. The no Foster for a portion of the year will help, but the TE's are probably going to get more redzone targets.

    I don't think anyone wants to see X's and O's.

    Bill O'Brian keeps preaching team so much, but if you get hurt or anything they will cut you without a second thought.

    I don't understand why people even try for the NFL The money isn't even that great. I mean you take home 500 grand a year for a few years if you are lucky. If not you waste your time in camp being treated like you are a child. If I had any talent I would try to play baseball or basketball.

    They play in the NFL because they have the skill set for it (you dont just choose whatever sport you want because you're athletic)...and because they love the game. And you can always be involved in the game after you're done playing, whether it's as an assistant coach, analyst, etc...

    And 500k a year for a few years is a lot more than most people make in their entire lives.
