The rumors have lastly been confirmed and the New York Jets would be the stars of the 2023 model of HBO’s “Exhausting Knocks.” Whereas the workforce didn’t wish to star within the present, the attract of the Jets’ potential storylines, together with Aaron Rodgers’ arrival, Zach Wilson’s try to revive his profession, Quinnen Williams’ contract negotiations, and the emergence of Sauce Gardner as an elite participant seem to have been an excessive amount of for the NFL and HBO to move up.

In occupied with the upcoming “Exhausting Knocks” season, I believed again to the final time the Jets’ starred on the collection again in 2010. Whereas the present Jets workforce apparently doesn’t need the documentary round, that workforce appeared to embrace it and it was enjoyable. With that in thoughts, I wished to recollect a few of the finer moments of that season in an try to carry some optimism to those that are involved that the present will probably be a web damaging on the workforce (which isn’t statistically supported so far as I do know).

1. “Let’s get a snack” (warning: some specific language contained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QPKh13p55Y)

Oh Rex Ryan. Say what you need, however the man has pizzazz. That workforce cherished him, and this speech offers you an inkling as to why. Dude got here out, advised them that they may very well be pretty much as good as they wished to be and that they may win in each part of the sport in the event that they put their minds to it. Instructed them the one approach that wouldn’t occur is that if they weren’t taking it significantly sufficient. Has the room pin quiet… after which hits them with “Let’s get a snack” out of the blue. Iconic.

2. The Darrelle Revis contract negotiation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC7wm8fs_Dg

Clearly the Jets workforce officers know cameras are on and so they seemingly play to the cameras to some extent. Nevertheless, attending to see the inside workings of a deal even to a small diploma is so cool. Rex Ryan mainly taking management in a final ditch effort to get it accomplished. Rex Ryan and Proprietor Woody Johnson attempting to nail down the small print of the following assembly together with flying throughout the nation. It fully failing and Rex dropping his cool for a scorching second and throwing some anger in direction of Revis’ agent. As a fan of the game, simply cool to see.

3. The return of Cornerback Darrelle Revis (warning: some specific language contained): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUxcTMtPZNY

After months of agonizing about whether or not Revis would present up for any a part of coaching camp (or the common season for that matter), he does. I keep in mind being thrilled about it as a fan. Seeing the gamers and coaches be completely happy about it although? Actually cool.

4. Simply seeing the personalities across the workforce

The notorious interview with cornerback Antonio Cormartie about his youngsters. Defensive lineman Kris Jenkins getting excited in observe. Quarterback Mark Sanchez doing one handed catches in observe for enjoyable. That participant they tied to a pole for being annoying. The ‘Large Ugly’ contest that was received by Offensive Guard Vlad Ducasse. It’s very easy to examine the gamers nonetheless you need on Sundays, however it’s actually cool to see extra about who they are surely beneath the helmet.

On the finish of the day, the 2023 New York Jets could or not profit by the presence of “Exhausting Knocks.” What I’m fairly certain of is that it’ll be enjoyable to look at the method play out as followers of the workforce being featured, particularly if moments like those above may be captured once more.

However these are additionally simply a few of my favourite moments from the final Exhausting Knocks run. Be at liberty to shout out a few of yours within the feedback.
