2013 Hard Knocks: Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

[Moe Green]

Many will say it's too much of a distraction and its bad for the team.  I disagree.

I believe that with Schiano sending the lazy garbage off our team this past year that

 Hard Knocks cameras wouldn't be too much of a distraction and that Schiano would have them focused no matter what.

I understand that other teams havent fared well while on Hark Knocks so call me a selfish fan, I wanna see the inside of the Bucs organization.


Would you be against it?  Or would you enjoy the extra coverage?  I know I would.

Schiano is too protective of the way he does things.

Ain't gonna happen. Besides, this team is among the least popular teams in the NFL (25th/32). No one will want to watch - its all about ratings.

They had successful seasons with the Bengals and Dolphins.

But that's beside the point.  I don't think Schiano would ever willingly let it happen.

[Morgan]

which player would be the Bucs' version of Brandon Marshall, Reggie Bush, Ochocinco?

[YReceiver14]

Well that's a different issue.  The Packers are popular, but don't have many "drama creators" either.  Do they prefer a team that's loved or a team that has "characters"?

Regardless, this will never get the Schiano stamp of approval, and I'm fine with that.

[Morgan]

I can imagine the collective clicking of the nation's remote controls when they see this guy talking on their tubes:

[Dolorous Jason]

Hard Knocks ?

[MUSCLE_HAMSTER]

Washington Redskins

[Biggs3535]

which player would be the Bucs' version of Brandon Marshall, Reggie Bush, Ochocinco?

When was Brandon Marshall on Hard Knocks, nurse?

Only hard knocks team in the top 15 of your list was the Cowboys. Other than that it was the Jags, Chiefs, Bengals, Dolphins, and Jets. All in the bottom of your list. Try again nurse.

I'd be for it. I don't think we can make a Super Bowl run with Freeman at the helm anyways, so why not? I'd love to see me some behind the scenes Schiano and Dom. Along with Vincent, Adrian, and Doug Martin. McCoy is a camera whore and a clown. He'd be good for ratings. Mike Williams would be great too. I'd love it.

If I recall we were amongst the finalist to be on the show a few seasons ago with Raheem. So its not so far fetched they'd be interested in trying us again. Our Head coach does make for an interesting story considering the recent trend of college coaches to the pros as well as his famed Victory formation defense. Whether he approves of it is the real question. But as far as interest goes there's no question we'd get ratings. Its not about what team goes on that show, the production itself can make any team intriguing. I'm all for it.
