New York Jets make "humane" decision which will completely change Hard Knocks
The New York Jets have announced that they will take measures to limit camera access during the filming of the NFL training camp show "Hard Knocks." The decision comes after both head coach Robert Saleh and quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed their discontent with the series.
The Jets were chosen as this year's subject for "Hard Knocks" after no other team volunteered. However, the team believes that it is not "humane" to show players being released on camera.
As a result, they will block media members from documenting the rooms where the coaching staff informs players that they will not make the 2023 roster. These moments have been a key dramatic component of previous seasons of the show, reports ESPN via the Express US.
Despite the team's objections, fans are still eager to get any inside access they can, especially after the Jets acquired four-time MVP quarterback Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers earlier this offseason. In fact, tickets to the Jets' first four open training camp practices sold out in just three minutes.
Head coach Robert Saleh expressed his feelings about the team's selection for "Hard Knocks" back in June, saying: "I know there's several teams that would love for Hard Knocks to be in their building, but we're just not one of them."

The Jets players began reporting to training camp on July 19, and filming for "Hard Knocks" will begin right away. While HBO has not yet revealed the release date of the first episode, it is expected to premiere sometime in mid-August.
Upon learning that his team was chosen for "Hard Knocks," Rodgers voiced his opinion on the show. Despite being in the NFL since 2005, Rodgers has never dealt with the series before.
He said: "They forced it down our throats and we have to deal with it. I understand the appeal with us. Obviously, there are a lot of eyes on me, a lot of eyes on our team, a lot of expectations for our squad."

He said: "One of the only things I like about 'Hard Knocks' is the voice of God, the man who narrates it, Liev. I hope I get to meet him."
During training camp, Rodgers will be focused on building chemistry with his new teammates, particularly wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who was named the 2022 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. The Jets' early season schedule includes challenging matchups against the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, and Philadelphia Eagles, so it is crucial for them to quickly establish a connection on the field.
