This is the second Hard Knocks trailer where they have focused primarily on the fans instead of the team. Do people recall this being a common theme for other HN teams? Just curious.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

nope, i really don't ... it used to be more promotional about story lines. I'm especially surprised they haven't built up Baker Mayfield, Hue's Lake Jump, Jarvis Landry, Tyrod, etc. Literally no talk of that stuff yet.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I can't imagine the fans being the dominant story line, and I agree, there is other stuff to focus on, like the players and potential direction. We'll see.

Well, the fans are a huge story when it comes to the Browns. Our fanbase has had to deal with "Hard Knocks" for many years. The team is important but kind of the smaller story.

They don't have any footage yet. They were they like one day for OTAs. They also said the lake jump isn't in the show.
Cleveland Browns fans show their resilience and their excitement for the upcoming season. Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cleveland Browns premieres August 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

They didn't have any footage of other teams/years at this point either ... and the trailers still focused more on player-driven story lines.
And, yes, I know they said Hue's Lake Jump would be omitted.

Yeah, there's also no highlights to show of current Browns players lol

That's valid too ... I don't really even care haha, I'm just saying it's not their typical spiel to not show anything about the players in the trailer.
Use some OTA clips of Baker/Tyrod ... last year's highlights of Garrett ... or Josh Gordon ... etc. Oh well

Exactly...we've sucked for years and yet have a crazy hard core loyal fan base... that's a huge story...
Don't think the whole series will be about the fans, but not surprised that we are most likely going to be a big story line...
man, i wish i could watch tonight ... gotta wait til the morning

Jarvis Landry is easily the best trade we ever pulled off. I love this dude.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Jarvis Landry's speech he gave in the WR meeting room may have been the best thing I have ever seen. Something that has probably needed to be said in that building since 1999.
Man, watching Hue fight through this with his brother and mother passing..man this is uncomfortable to watch.

We found a transcendent leader in Jarvis Landry. Culture can't change unless there are willing participants. He made it clear in no uncertain terms that the days of lackadaisical approach and laziness ore GONE. At least while he's in the room. Wow.
"The other walk on is back there." "I met Taylor Swift before her concert. I thought about buying a rolex right before to let her know I have that. But I didn't."
Great episode. I'm actually glad we got it this year. It gives a good inside look to us fans. You know, I wasn't crazy about the Jarvis trade before, but I think he's exactly the guy we needed.
Having watched a number of other seasons of Hard Knocks, I have to reluctantly say that I found this first episode about the Browns to be rather dull and flat compared to other teams. Hopefully things will start to get interesting next week. Mind you, there were some good moments here and there, but mostly it was an exercise in watching paint dry.
My greater worry is that the dull flatness has more to do with the team on display rather than a drop off in production quality by NFL Films. If that's the case, this is going to be a rough year.
On a different note, just how embarrassing are these arm tattoos that Dorsey now regrets so much that he wears a long-sleeve sweatshirt everywhere and all the time? What, did he have some hack tattoo artist scribble in German gothic lettering, "Abelard and Heloise Love Letters Make Me Hard!", on his forearm when he was a teenager?
--The RV thing is weird. Making the 4th string qb buy all that stuff. Status bullcrap. Not a good look.
--I liked how Dorsey and the other dudes were there for Hue. I truly think Dorsey and Hue have a great relationship.
--Hue's talk w/Baker was poignant. Taylor is outworking him. Wise up, rook.
--Landry's hands are amazing.
--I liked Kirksey's message.
--Nassib is weird. You're at camp, bro.
--Easy to see what a losing culture does. Lot's of guys not invested.
--Saw some tension between Hue and Haley on guys practicing. I think I agree w/Haley on this one.
--Man, Myles is ripped. I also liked McGinnest w/Myles.
--The stuff w/Hue was tough.
--You can see how the players love and respect Hue.
--Taylor seems like a great guy. Not sure about that arm, though.
--I hope this puts to rest the BS that this is "Hue's team in name only." LOL
--Baker is confident. Seems a bit fake. Better be careful calling grown men "boys."
--Noticed how Gordon appreciates Hue.
--The most dramatic moment for me was Landry's speech. Dude is the real deal. He was my number one priority during the off season. Some don't like him, but this guy is the real freaking deal. We must break this trend of divas and soft players.
Overall I like the show,... Landry is awesome.... QBs were fun to watch... watching Hues grief was hard.... but I think it's a good reminder that these guys are human... like Hue said at the beginning of the episode.
I'm a huge cryer and hate to cry in front of others...but I also want young men to know it's ok to cry...
As i was saying in the other thread. I really didn't like how they showed footage about Hue's grieving for his mother and brother.
I don't think they needed to do that. Really kind of bothered me.
I concur. I am not a Hue Jackson fan, but I think invading his grief like that overstepped the bounds.
I would guess that he probably gave permission for something like that. I would hope so, anyway. If not, that goes beyond being humane in human interest.

I have seen it before. I just think that there is a difference between football pain and death in the family pain.
Just my opinion.
