Prediction: Raiders will be the team on HBO’s Hard Knocks
These five teams can appear on “Hard Knocks” in 2019, and one of those teams have already taken their name out the mix.
- Lions
- Raiders
- Giants
- 49ers
- Redskins
The San Francisco 49ers are the team that pulled their names out the mix, but between the other four, the team that makes the most sense is the Oakland Raiders. Here is why…..
The Lions and Matt Patricia are very similar to the New England Patriots. They are very secretive. They send emails out to players telling them not to tell the media when they are coming to the Lions for a workout. They are a team that would not want cameras in their facility, just my opinion.
The Redskins are a team that would be great being they have a new QB in Dwayne Haskins and some personalities in the locker room like Josh Norman, but they do not have a better all around roster than the Raiders.
The Giants and Dave Gettlemen would be interesting, but they let Odell go who is their vocal media guy. I do not see the Giants making a very good television production, add in the fact that their head coach is a quiet guy, the best fit for the show has to be Gruden and the Raiders.
The Raiders added tons of drama to their team this year when they landed Antonio Brown. Add in the fact that they have a Franchise QB in Derek Carr, and some amazing players on the other side of the ball, this team has too much drama to not follow. Vontaze Burfict and Jon Gruden were meant for this documentary. I mean it is the last year in Oakland before going to Vegas, might as well push them now.
