On tap for 'Hard Knocks': Miami Dolphins

The NFL-produced Hard Knocks series on HBO this summer will feature the Miami Dolphins.

After much speculation over which team would be the focus of the behind-the-scenes series that follows one team in summer training camp, the choice of the Dolphins was announced Tuesday.

It will be the first time Knocks follows a team with a first-year coach -- in this case, Joe Philbin. The five-episode series, which will be produced by a 24-person NFL Films crews, debuts Aug. 7.

Anyone know of a way to watch these other than being an HBO subscriber? Not seeing any sort of streaming or retail choices

Will be cool to see some of Jimmy, but overall that is a really lame choice.

For a football fan interested in how an NFL team is put together during training camp this will be interesting television. For a fan of the Griz this will be exciting because Jimmy Wilson is in the thick of a very competitive battle for one of two starting safety spots on the Dolphins roster. Don't count Jimmy out. He has an excellent shot at securing one of the two starting positions. The Dolphins will be interesting to watch with a variety of sub-plots, including how a new head coach handles his first assignment in the top job, a three-way competition for the starting QB spot, a heated competition for both the right guard and right tackle position and a wide-open competition for 3 or 4 wide receiver positions. And that's just the offense. The defense is undergoing a switch from a 3-4 back to a 4-3 so that will be interesting as well. For true football fans this will be great stuff. I'm a Griz fan and a Dolphin fan so I'm pumped up. Go Griz! Go Dolphins! Go Jimmy!

Well, they did get denied by 4 or 5 other teams before settling on the Dolphins.

Really, if they want some drama to portray, they should just come to Missoula. That's must watch TV right there!

Supporting cast
1. Les Brown: "Hard Knocks" loves to highlight at least one preseason long shot with an unusual background. Brown fits the bill. Not only is the aspiring tight end a former NAIA basketball player who didn’t play football in college, the 24-year-old Brown spent the past two years working in the accounting department of a private equity investment firm.

2. Jimmy Wilson: In 2007, Wilson began a two-year prison stint on murder charges for which he was eventually cleared. Wilson is now pushing for playing time in Miami’s secondary.

3. Vontae Davis: Vontae and his older brother Vernon have both forged NFL careers. Their 19-year-old sibling Michael Davis is facing murder charges after allegedly bludgeoning a 66-year-old tourist to death in a Washington D.C. park.

4. Lydon Murtha: A "Miami Ink" spinoff could be in the works with Murtha. The right tackle’s entire left arm is covered by a graphic tattoo that depicts muscle fibers underneath the skin.
