It was ok. Didn't really care to see the Bengals again. They don't really have any characters on that team to make the show interesting.

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

Same, thought it was just okay.

Don't like the fact that the Bengals have camp at their stadium in downtown Cincinnati, seems like they can fall back on non-football related stuff too easily.

Also, the Bengals return so many starters that they don't have any position battles or many difficult roster decisions to make. Focusing on the RB coach so much and a washed up, cheap shot (Harrison) will get old quick.

I remember the first time the Bengals were on HARD KNOCKS and camp was a clusterf$&k - Marvin was cussing all the time, players were screwing around - shows you what making the playoffs a few years in a row can do to an organization - they seem like a well-oiled machine now.

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

At least they are a playoff contender unlike every other team on Hard Knocks except 2001 Ravens and 2010 Jets.

Surprised only 4 replies and the Dolphins thread from 2012 got 12 replies with a much inferior team or maybe this need to be in the sports section?

Mike Silver thinks the Bengals will play the Seaturds in Super Bowl 48.

I think that's part of the reason they agreed to do it now, to show how much the locker room has changed.

Gio's girlfriend was super cute.

Hue Jackson teaching Orson Charles how to walk like a duck lol.

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

This season just hasn't grabbed me like most others have. Maybe when the cutdowns start it will seem more interesting. But so far, pretty boring.

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

It's boring because there aren't any interesting story lines. There are no major position battles (the RB spot will be shared) and no interesting players to follow.

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

I am always amazed at Liev Schriebers docu-voice. Is the movie voice or the docu-voice the real one?

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

Yeah something is off this year. The editing seems all over the place. Normally there is more voice over, but it seems like they'll just let the camera roll more this year.

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

Holy shit. Didn't even realize it was him. The narration is the best aspect of the show.

Yeah, this season is lacking drama. Only real position battle is backup QB (yawn). Other than James Harrison and the Estonian, nobody has made a strong impression.

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

Lievs work as the narrator on Hard Knocks is better than the last couple of movies he made and Ray Donovan.

Re: HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals
 

Maybe they should cover the Raiders in 2014 since every position will be up for grabs and maybe even RB if Run DMC leaves for another team.

They could throw a surprise ending to boost the ratings where the turk could ask Andy Dalton to bring his playbook and Ipad to Marvin Lewis's office and he could cut him.
