I just watched the episode. One thing I noticed was Mike Tice & the commentator both said Watt didn't play. I was pretty sure he played the first series and had a sack..

You're probably thinking of the Arizona disaster. Watt didn't play against the Falcons.
 
From the episode where they make JJ look like a WWE wrestler walking out to the ring.

I don't think it was his mouth. I think it was him getting in the guys face and being all demonstrative. He pointed the guy towards the sideline as well.

In his case, he was just saying, ‘Get back on the bench. Get back on the bench.’ They threw the flag on him.”

Link Yep, that's his mouth.


Don't get me wrong, I like a player with a chip on their shoulder that plays with attitude. I liked the Swearinger pick when the Texans made it and still do. I'm just honest about the downside in today's NFL. Deion talked a lot too, but he had better talent to back it up. But in the "modern" NFL, Deion would be getting 3x as many flags as well.

I disagree.

Like I said...He was also standing there being demonstrative.

Get back on the bench is not something in and of itself that you'd see a flag thrown for IMO.

Players talk mess to each other all the time. Get back on the bench is pretty tame.

If you go back and watch it, Swearinger was standing there in the players face pointing and making gestures.

If you watch the hardknocks episode, Swearinger was talking mess and when the WR swung on him in practice, the Falcons coaches chastised their own player and said he was wrong in the whole thing. He said they had been talking back and forth all practice, but their guy decided to swing. He said to the head coach "Harry was wrong" like 3 or 4 times.

Talking on the football field is nothing. Lots of players talk ALL THE TIME. Get back to the bench is nothing. Running over to opponents and being extra demonstrative is.

Swearinger isn't the only one out there running his mouth. You would never know he was running his mouth as much if he wasn't showing it all the time...

You think Andre doesn't talk? Duane Brown? Cushing?

Have you played football? guys are always talking mess on the field. Not everyone. But A LOT of them are.

"We finna **** yall bitches...No Jelly!!!"

"Is that your T-lady in the stands calling your name? I'm going to **** her good after we **** ya'll...****ing twice in one night!!!"

"you can't ****ing stop me bro...You are too ****ing weak *****!!!"

"Get back to the sideline!!!!"

LOL...ok...

My dislike for Swearinger grew a little more last night. It'd be different if his performer came anywhere close to the amount of BS he spews....

I watched several games last weekend, & the weekend before. I saw several people celebrating their plays a lot more than what Dj did when he got flagged. But, like you, I think the flag he got was a cumulative douchery type foul.

He had that hit on Julio Jones, where he stood over him saying something.. then he struck that pose. Then of course the play where he was flagged.

It's like that one guy said, "He's saying a lot, but he ain't making no plays."

I think the refs got tired of it & saw an opportunity. He'll most likely have a target on his back, from the refs, all season.

Roddy White is just sour that he let DJ broke into his head. Players jawing at each other will never say anything complimentary toward each other.

Trashing talking is just another tool in the game of any sports. If DJ played the game with duct tape over his mouth I guarantee you he won't last long in this league. Besides getting into an opposing player head it also serves as a stimulus, pumping himself up and teammates. And it also makes the game fun!

I think that was the play he got flagged on.

And the Flag was for the synchronized handshake celebration I think. I don't think you can have any planned things like that.

And kick ass entrance music. BTW, what should that song be?

I LOL'ed at that one Falcon Fan's comment.. "He looks like Tripple H with a knee brace on his arm".

The look on HOFer Bruce Matthews' face was priceless.. Even he knew his son was getting manhandled, it was almost like he wanted to throw in a towel.

I know it was only practice, but that had to be Jake Matthew's "welcome to the NFL" moment.

the music that hard knocks used works for me - subtle and dangerous - it just needs to be cranked up.

lol i was just thinking of posting the knee brace comment, that was perfect. i was all for drafting matthews, that poor kid's eyes near popped out of his head in those drills though. and kudos to hard knocks, you really get to see the violence of those impacts that watt generates in a single step - i would be on life support with multiple broken bones and contusions with the first hit. the way they made watt and clowney look was epic all around. tice jokes "sorry, 99's not playing" ... lineman asks "what about 90?" and tice's face drops "ummm you got this" lol.
 
Out of all those teams listed that could be forced to doing it, Texans are the best team but the Browns would have the most intrigue due to Johnny foozball. Bucs could be in the mix too especially if they pick Mariota.
 
Might as well. I'd like to see just how much of a hardass
BoB really is. Somehow I don't think his public persona is the
same as his locker room persona..

NYG would be pretty good as well.
 
I am of two thoughts on this one. While I would like to get a peek behind the scenes. I don't want the distraction that Hard Knocks causes. The team needs to be fully committed to the game instead of playing for the camera.
 
What would the NFL do if a team straight up said "no"?

Please keep this huge distraction away from our Texans as they try to build this thing into a good football team.

Didn't they come out a couple years ago and say that if no one volunteered then a team would be assigned?

yeah, and that's why I was wondering what the NFL would do if a team assigned to this show said "no" to it all.

Fine 'em? McNair's got deep pockets. Maybe lose a draft pick? idonno:

Yes, the list provided up thread are the teams who under the owners' agreement would be eligible for forced participation if no team volunteers.

DB - my bet is some sort of sanction. McNair wouldn't push that I don't think.

yeah I'm thinking they would lose a draft pick or two
 
OK, is it actually true the NFL can actually assign a team to this ****, and they have to do it? Bullshit on that. States rights, franchise rights, don't make a **** to me they both are good things.

If the Texans organization don't want to do it, and the NFL makes them, what are you going to think then?

McNair openly lobbied for Hard Knocks the year it was awarded to the Jets.

He most definitely wouldn't push it.

Can someone please explain why this is quasi-mandatory??
It's not even good TV
...but then I've never been a fan of reality TV shows
 
If no team volunteers you can bet your bottom dollar they'll give it to the NY media market.. If I'm in the Texans organization I wouldn't worry about it.
 
here's an idea...
how about they do a reality series on what Goodell knew, and when he knew it, during that whole the Ray Rice fiasco
How about that Rog?
Maybe we'll get to watch the Owners ask you to turn in your playbook. Now I'd watch that.
 
is it one team or two teams ..????


anyway this year I would like to see

NFC Greenbay

AFC Patriots or Texans
