Most NFL teams don't like participating in HBO's Hard Knocks, but team owners and Presidents are still trying to find ways to make it better.
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated via Pro Football Talk, it was topic of discussion during the league meetings back in May.
One of the things being discussed to make it better is the NFL being allowed to force any team to be on the show, which could make it more entertaining. Right now, there is a specific criteria that a team must meet to be forced to be on the show.
One potential change: Allowing the NFL to force any team to do the show, meaning the league would always choose a marquee team that has plenty of intrigue at its training camp. Current rules limit the teams that can be forced to do the show, and with teams that have made the playoffs in the last two years exempt, it’s pretty much guaranteed that the show will revolve around a bad team. The NFL may decide to eliminate that rule.
They are also considering using more behind the scenes things in regular games, not just in hard knocks. Before two teams face off do a behind the scenes on each team preparing for the game, and the show would air after the game was played.
It seems NFL fans can't ever get enough football so it makes sense that the NFL would try to expand on what they have already built with Hard Knocks.
