Today is Wednesday, August 25th, and hard knocks has taken a nose dive. It was a drone shot, which was cool. The drone shot was very cool, very cool. It was maybe the best shot of any hard knocks since the Baker Mayfield spiral. It was awesome, but that is what hard knocks like. we're at a point now. That was tonight's Mojo moment. It was the Mojo moment. We're watching the hard knocks because that's what we want to do. But there's also moments where we're like, why are we doing this? Because I don't know, let me ask you this. Let me ask you the rowback question. Oh, roback.com go right now polos. And just for me asking you this robot question, PFT, I'm going to gift you a performance polo use code PFT. You get 20% off R-H-O-B-A-C-K dot com code PFT. My robot question, PFT, is do you think hard knocks has taken a nose dive because teams are just not giving them enough or do you think, like, who's to blame for this? So I think we're to blame. Okay. I think we gotta put, we gotta stick our hand up on this one because watching hard knocks is pretty similar to actually participating in a football training camp. But with the course of the summer, we're excited to get in there. Now we're just like, we're going through the motions at this point, right?

It's week three of the preseason. We're ready to break camp early. Yeah, I think there's optimism when you go into it and then once you get in the grind of having to watch hard knocks every week for an hour that comes on at 10 o'clock on a Tuesday night, like that's tough work that we're putting up here. So what you're saying is, next year we need to just

Brett Favre this thing and show up to like the fourth episode.

Yeah, I think maybe if you were to take... That's tough work that we're putting up here. So what you're saying is, next year, we need to just breadth-farve this thing

and show up to like the fourth episode.

Yeah, I think maybe if you were to take the entire training camp and then distill it into two hours, yeah, I think that would be good. A film. A film, yeah, just like just have it, have it be two hours on HBO, like the last week of the preseason, After the cuts, that way you get to meet everybody,

you get to meet all the kids.

You don't have to have 30-minute montages

of Dequan, which a mdcwan uh... uh... was heard to one her putting his contact and yeah i could deal without that would just have it listen have it be like thirty minutes of a drone shot or thirty minutes of trade on diggs's son who is so damn cute it actually makes me want to have my son in studio just cheering me on during the taping of the show or Alarcon's mom who listen, she was very nice. Passionate lady. Passionate. It does feel like she used up a lot of God mojo in a preseason. Yeah, that's tough. So in the Hall of Fame game when the Cowboys were playing I Came so close to asking God. Yeah, six more points And I I stopped myself because I'm like I can't use my God request in the Hall of Fame game Yeah, I need to save that for like a Thursday night game when I need a fuel gold to get a push. Yeah, you need that or or Throwback when you're like in your 20s

and you're violently hung over, you need the old God, I'll never drink again if you just get me through this. Yeah, those are the God moments. So when you say God, I'll never ask you for another thing again. God knows that someone who's not gonna ask God for another thing would never even say that. Right, so preseason two just felt like she was using up a lot of good mojo. You know, maybe save that for Cut Day.

Yeah, I hope they don't cut him,

because I love him, his family story, that was awesome.

And also his... Right. So preseason two just felt like she was using up a lot of good mojo. You know, maybe save that for cut day. Yeah.

I hope they don't cut him because I love him his family story. That was awesome. And also his his brother just being like

It's awesome that I get to go to AT&T watch my brother and eat nachos and hot dogs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no that's really that's very were really relatable family. Yes, but I am I'm dreading next week's cuts because I think

Da Nuchi is at the end of his line. Uh, three picks. He's got the arm launch angle thing

going on So the problem is with with Da Nuchi is the the fucking head thing. He's wearing it's partially the head thing And it's partially just like it's a Jamie quarterback thing We're like Ohio State for division one double a all our quarterbacks their great in college don't really pan out just it he looks like he should be on uh... he should be coming off a mountain in vale like with that thing on you know it's it's got a little bit of that uh... skiing vibe and I just listen it works if you're winning if you throw three picks it doesn't yeah and they even said like great thing about the new chiefs he's not afraid to go out there after he's thrown two picks and throw a third one

no he's got all the confidence in the world yes I think that I don't like watching the cutscenes in hard knocks anyone who's ever lost a job can probably relate to it a little bit but it's it doesn't look good for the new to you he'll find another place to latch on he'll get it will have somebody John grew to probably fall in love with them.

Yeah.

Because John Grunin will take in any homeless quarterback on the streets.

I think the worst part about the cut scenes, and Jake probably loves this part, is when they're like, you're this close man. Like you, you know, keep grinding, you'll make it. Yeah. That part, I think. Great job. If you're gonna cut me, just cut me. Uh-huh. I'm not even gonna show up, just call me, leave a message.
