PHILBIN: You're going to call your grandmother? VONTAE DAVIS: No, I'm going to call my grandma. We just traded you, OK? We traded you to the Indianapolis Colts, all right? So you OK? Another moment that made the show in 2012 - Dolphins quarterback Vontae Davis getting some tough news. GREENE: Uncomfortable moments like that can be the most compelling for viewers, and they're often caught on robotic cameras are placed inside coaches' offices and operated remotely. JOHNSON: Ever, and I buy into your program most definitely. And.ĬHAD JOHNSON: Coach, I've never been in trouble before. I acknowledge people make mistakes, and nobody knows that more than me. JOE PHILBIN: It's nothing personal, and I - you know, trust me. Here is Dolphins Coach Joe Philbin on the show informing Johnson that he has been cut. And the show doesn't always shy away from behavior by players that could make the league look bad, like in 2012 when Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chad Johnson was arrested for head-butting his wife. GREENE: But the cameras are truly on all the time. If anything, people might be a little bit more reserved. No one's really playing to the camera too much. You know, I think anyone that's kind of animated - that's how they are. Cameras follow the players everywhere, but Texans offensive lineman Duane Brown, also sitting on the practice field when we spoke, says he and his teammates try not to play to the cameras.ĭUANE BROWN: I think, you know, whatever you guys see on the episodes is pretty much the real personality. GREENE: More than three-and-a-half-million people tune in to "Hard Knocks" each week according to HBO, and this season, the show turns its lens on the Houston Texans. I mean that's what we're really trying to accomplish here. The mission of the show's really to peel back the curtain on the NFL, and fans are always excited about getting inside, seeing the blood, sweat and tears. We - starting out - promoted the image of the NFL, and we still take that responsibility very seriously. MATT DISSINGER: We have a banner that hangs in our building that says Keepers of the Flame, and that's something that we take to heart. The 10th season of "Hard Knocks" premieres tonight, and we caught up with the show's director, Matt Dissinger, on the practice field.

GREENE: This is from the popular HBO television series "Hard Knocks." The reality show takes fans inside one team's training camp before the season starts. UNIDENTIFIED NARRATOR: Far too early for an injury. UNIDENTIFIED NARRATOR: It's day four of camp. Father and son have passed away, but their legacy lives on here. It was part promotional, part documentary, always gripping. He and his son Steve Sabol made NFL films. GREENE: NFL Films was founded by a coat salesman named Ed Sabol who learned filmmaking by shooting his son's high school football games and paid $5,000 for the right to film the 1962 NFL Championship. UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER #1: Hey, man, huddle up. (Unintelligible) off the right side - makes a spin move to right side. UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER #2: (Unintelligible) moves into the right. UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER #1: Goal line, goal line. NFL Films has for decades been selling football as powerful visual drama. GREENE: That is vintage sound from the cinematic arm of the National Football League.
