The tackling dummy robots - . Best thing on the show!

The opening credits are SO embarrassing. They are somehow actually worse LA-themed opening credits than Episodes (but it's still close).

Only a doofus like Kenny Britt could flip over his buggy.

Kenny Britt is Josh Gordon dumb.

robots were very cool..

Ive seen every season of Hard Knocks. Its been in steady decline for years. But this season is easily the worst. The most in depth we got with a veteran was Keenum's wife reciting plays to him. I didnt get to know or care about any of these players and Jeff Fisher is a mope.

It is pretty tough to care much about this team and the show isn't making it any easier. I used to check in on the featured team's preseason games because it would add depth to watching the next episode of the show, but I just can't make myself sit through more than a handful of minutes of Rams games.

We usually get a few rookies to pull for. This year is really just Goff, and it's not the same because he's a top pick. Main appeal of the show was living and dying with those rookies who realistically had no shot to make the team but there was that glimmer of hope. On top of that, this is a team devoid of stars and big personalities.

I just found out this week that Rams center Eric Kush is from my area and went to the same college I went to graduate school at (I was there much earlier however). His wife really looks familiar, so that's what sparked my interest. I guess she graduated from the same college as well.

So the big cliffhanger going into the finale is whether Seau's nephew, or the 2 rookie receivers (Hill and McRoberts) make the team. Seau's nephew has looked very raw in talent. I doubt he makes the team.

I do enjoy seeing Hill's little daughter and her interactions with her Dad.

Cut day did seem so laid back.

I do enjoy listening to Gregg Williams. He's definitely one of the more memorable personalities.

Spoilers for the Hard Knocks season finale:

Austin Hill
Eric Kush
Ian Seau

were all cut today

Bummer about Hill and Kush. I know Kush was trying to land a job so he could move his family to LA.

Hill's daughter will probably be thrilled that her Daddy will be home more often, although unemployed.

I'm guessing McRoberts beat him out slightly for that WR spot after having a TD catch in the last preseason game.

Congratulations LA, it's your fucking train wreck now. I will miss having a St.Louis team to root for, but then I guess we really haven't had one for a long time.

I've never seen the show, but I'm half tempted to seek this out somehow. Sounds hysterical!

Kush is now a Chicago Bear.

All the Rams cuts from yesterday. The guys I highlighted in bold were featured prominently on the show.

Wait wasn't Ayers a starter at linebacker? Was he that expensive?

Yes he started 11 games in 2015.

He was a surprise cut.

Watched the finale tonight.

Pretty low key. I was kind of hoping for a little more drama with final cuts. They never addressed Akeem Ayers getting cut and he was the biggest surprise cut of camp.

Glad that Kush landed on his feet right away. McRoberts saved himself by getting that practice squad spot by having a semi-decent game vs. the Vikings.

They said the salary for a Practice squad player is $7,000 per week. I could totally live on that.

Austin Hill seems like a good guy and I wish him well. But, the Rams WR coach didn't seem too impressed with him.

I'm glad the season was only 5 episodes. After watching this team on this show, they aren't the most interesting personalities that make good TV. Fisher is way too laid back and low key. I actually found his assistant coaches more entertaining.

Boring season, boring team. The team feels leaderless...even with great players like Donald and Gurley.
The Rams were the right pick for this season based on the hoopla but the application fell flat.

The Niners kicked their asses!

The same old sorry ass Rams and "We are not going to have that 7-9 bs"

All the seasons are only 5 episodes long.

Maybe nobody agrees to do it in 2017 and they draw names from a hat and pick the Patriots.

Belichick would never allow cameras that kind of access to their camp.

My daughter dated a guy who made a practice squad two seasons ago and he was doing all right. The toughest part has to be working with - and hanging around with - guys making a minimum of four time what you do. Later in the season he was elevated to the active roster, but naturally they broke up before that happened. He's a free agent now, so good riddance.

I'm not sure any team has agreed to do it since the Cowboys. All teams pretty much dread doing it, but the NFL mandates that someone do it. So there's a formula of who's eligible. If I remember correctly, any team that has: (1) hired a new head coach; (2) made the playoffs in one of the last two years; or (3) done it in the last 5-10 years is exempt. Which usually leaves the list pretty short. And last year the Cleveland Browns basically begged the NFL not to let them be chosen (which the NFL agreed to, I think because the excuse was Johnny Manziel needed privacy). Once everyone exempt is removed, HBO has final choice.

Interesting. If they don't make the Playoffs, I'd like to see the Saints or the Colts next season. Both could be entertaining watches.

Not everyone comes off bad on this show. Last year, Bill O'Brian came off really well and earned a lot of new fans (including me), and they won their Division.

But it did show Jeff Fisher to be the underachieving egomaniac we all thought he was. He will be gone by the Bye week.

You nailed it. Fisher doesn't have this team and the ownership didn't do him any favors by drafting a QB first overall.

Yeah, I thought O'Brien came across well. This show is great at revealing the competency level of the head coach. I remember being shocked by how over his head Mike Smith was in the Falcons season.

Rams offense is just completely inept. Mind blowing they entered this season with Keenum as starter. Even just as a placeholder for Goff, it was moronic. And Goff himself doesn't look like starter material at all.
