A rather large camera crew could be heading to Jets training camp this summer. - Gang Green is one of only three teams eligible to be featured in the upcoming season of the HBO documentary series “Hard Knocks.” The Lions and Panthers are the only other possible picks. - Each summer, HBO films one NFL team and releases weekly episodes chronicling the trials and tribulations of training camp. Last year, the show focused on the Cowboys during the summer and the Colts in a new mid-season version. The year before that, the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers were covered during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Jets were last featured in 2010 during Rex Ryan’s second year with the team. - So, why are the Jets a possible candidate again? They meet at least one of the three qualifications necessary to be picked: 1) they have a non-first-year head coach, 2) they have no playoff appearances in the past two seasons or 3) they haven’t been featured on the show in 10 years. - - – 9 new HC teams don't qualify– Playoff teams from the past 2 years can't be forced (DQs: TEN, KC, BUF, CIN, NE, PIT, GB, TB, DAL, LAR, AZ, SF, PHI, BAL, CLE, IND, SEA, WFT)– Teams that have been on Hard Knocks the past 10 years also DQ'd (ATL, LAR) - — Jeremy Reisman (@DetroitOnLion) January 25, 2022 - - - The Jets would certainly be a compelling team to cover: Robert Saleh can be an energetic coach – though he seems to save that for incredible in-game moments – while Zach Wilson will be entering his second season after a middling rookie campaign. The Jets also feature a ton of young players and will have even more after the draft. New York could sign exciting free agents with its bountiful salary cap space, too. - The Cowboys weren’t selected until the summer last year, so there is still a lot of time between now and when HBO picks its team. But the Jets have a 33 percent chance of landing the show. - - List - - Lessons the Jets can learn from the 4 remaining playoff teams - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Jets Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Jets Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
