I agree. Maybe it's because we already 'know' the players so well but it does feel a bit going through the motions. I mean I'll happily watch it because it's the Bills but I have to say I prefer the embedded episodes.
That's what Hard Knocks was always about for me, seeing fringe guys trying to make it. Seeing where they live, their relationships, how hard it is to make it in the NFL, all the work they put in even though the odds are stacked against them. I think it helps when it's a team you don't know much about For us we kind of know which guys have a little chance of making an impact, but for fans of another team who only know Josh Allen and guys like Cook they'll be a bit more intrigued by a guy like Hamler
