With summer all around us, one of my favorite highlights of the season is the new season of HBO’s Hard Knocks. This series details the training camp regimen and story around a new team each year and is a staple of any football fan’s preseason diet as they get ready for another year of the NFL. Though this year will obviously be different with the introduction of COVID-19 throwing everyone in the world for a loop, it also features my favorite team: the San Diego, I mean Los Angeles Chargers. Though I wish I could have seen Hard Knocks with the Chargers still in the 619, it will be awesome to finally see my team in one of the most well-produced annual sports series.
Over the years, the cameras have covered everyone from the Dallas Cowboys to the Baltimore Ravens and have produced a plethora of awesome moments. My personal favorite has been the Atlanta Falcons season and legendary defensive line coach, Bryan Cox reeling off one one-liner after another. Moreover, watching Texans defensive end J.J. Watt workout to Fort Minor is another series highlight for the rather unintended sight of Watt being his uber serious self. So with this video I wanted to talk about my favorite storylines to look forward to this season regarding the Bolts and how the series might help their chances this year, if there is a season.
Top 3 things to look for:
- New Quarterback
