One of the most anticipated parts of the Bucs’ offseason has been HBO’s Hard Knocks, a show that goes inside NFL teams’ training camp and preseasons to see how competitive and exciting the team environment can be in this time. Last night, Episode 1 aired, and I was lucky enough to be at Tampa Theatre for an exclusive premiere of the episode. It was a great experience, and now I’m glad to be able to recap the episode and everything that stood out to me.
Dirk Koetter starts off the episode in a team meeting at the start of training camp, preaching that although the team has a lot of hype and attention, they still haven’t accomplished anything.
