Doc Draper Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 We are the favorite for Hard Knocks this year. The candidates are Redskins, Raiders, 49ers, Lions, Giants. It’s perfect for Danny- the circus used to come to town and they paraded through town to generate sales. Hard Knocks gives Danny a chance to sell more tickets. Odds Redskins even Giants 2-1 Raiders 6-1 Lions 9-1 49ers 10-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds Redskins even Giants 2-1 Raiders 6-1 Lions 9-1 49ers 10-1 In years where I think we have a chance to go to the playoffs, I don’t want to be on Hard Knocks. Seeing as this year we look like .500 if everything went perfect, I don’t mind being on Hard Knocks. If we draft a QB in round 1 or Will Grier, I’m sure they’ll want us.

Thaiphoon Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Given that we've never done one and that the NFL eventually wants every team to do one. AND the fact that Snyder needs to get a buzz going. Of course we're gonna do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins212689 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I would actually be interested in seeing what goes down behind the scenes. Think they need to make a buzz in the draft to make the cut though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog44 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I’m not sure they would have enough story lines to go on. Peterson fighting old age? Keenum vs Colt vs a possible rookie? Josh Norman sure would love it. Think the Raiders are a better option as far as HBO is concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advantage Raiders. The Antonio Brown circus vs the Redskins dull playmakers. Advantage Raiders. Can Derek Carr bounce back now that he’s throwing to AB? How will Antonio react if Carr doesn’t get him the ball enough? Advantage Raiders. Raiders have 3 first round picks and 4 of the first 35 picks, including the 4th overall. Big storyline there. Advantage Raiders. If I’m the Raiders this is my first 4 picks: #4. Quinnen Williams, LDE/UT, Alabama #24. Byron Murphy, CB, Washington #27. Marquise Brown, WR, OU #35. Jachai Polite, DE, Florida Raiders will be moving to Vegas for the 2020 season. Advantage Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly remember them saying they would fight tooth and nail and call in every favor to make sure they didn't have to do it. It was around Scot's time.

It was around Scot's time. Me too. But that was before they had the disastrous attendance last year and a near revolt amongst fans. They are gonna grab at straws to create buzz. Although I do think the Raiders are a better programming choice this offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 We’ll get Hard Knocks next year when we draft Tua and have a new HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I’m all for hard knocks this year. Puts the team even more in the limelight and we’ll see if the ineptitude of management finally gets them canned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
