'Hard Knocks' reveals why a current Eagles receiver was released by the Rams

HBO's Hard Knocks premiered on Tuesday night, and everyone got to see Jeff Fisher and his mustache explain how he's fed up with going 7-9. That's right, the series features the Los Angeles Rams this year. There were also some Philadelphia Eagles connections in the first episode of this season, though.

First up, we got a look at how and why the Rams released current Eagles wide receiver Deon Long. As it turns out, Long broke a rule established by Fisher. Via Pro Football Talk:

The HBO cameras were on hand when Rams coach Jeff Fisher called Long into his office and reminded Long that there was a strict no visitors policy in the team’s camp dorms at UC-Irvine, and Fisher asked Long why he had brought a woman into his room.
