*SPOILER ALERT* Don't read if you don't want to know what happened in this week's episode.
Sorry I'm a tad late with this week's "Hard Knocks" review, sports fans. I'm back though. Don't all clap at once. -_-
This week's episode of "Hard Knocks" featured a lot less F-bombs courtesy of coach Rex Ryan and frankly it disappointed me a little bit. After former Indianapolis Colts coach and well renouned classy guy Tony Dungy slammed Ryan for being so crass around his players it was clear the never shy Jets coach was trying to tone it down for the cameras this week.
Dungy expressed great disgust with Ryan stating that he would never hire someone who acted like that in a lockerroom. But to be honest, no disrespect Coach Dungy, but the Jets aren't your team. If that's not how you want to coach your players that's A-OK, but if that's how Ryan gets his team fired up and playing hard then more power to him.
Even with the toned down language this week the episode was still full of classic one liners like Bart Scott saying rookie RB Joe McKnight is just mad he's taking a pay cut by coming to the Jets after leaving the lucrative USC. QB Mark Sanchez talked about his love for all things orange flavored, making the audience realize he really is just a big kid playing in a big league. When one of the Jets punters ordered 100 Shake Weights for the entire team and the players started testing them out on the field, the morning stretching exercises looked even more suspect.
Linebacker turned Defensive End turned NFL Draft Bust Vernon Gholston was featured as well showing his struggles to adjust to a new defensive scheme as he transitioned from Ohio State to the Jets. Gholston seems to finally be getting some fire in his belly though and is starting to get some aggression on the field. We all know the NFL is a grown man's game and if you're out there timid on the field you're going to be going nowhere fast.
