The Miami Dolphins are set to be the focus of the second edition of in-season “Hard Knocks” and for good reason: they have a team full of dynamic personalities (including their coach) and the team is in playoff contention.
However, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wasn’t exactly thrilled by the idea of HBO’s cameras being in the building. Admitting to reporters Wednesday, “That was not my best body language in the team meeting when we found out.”

Last year, the Arizona Cardinals were the first team to be filmed for the famed docuseries in the regular season. As all previous editions would follow a team during training camp.
Mike McDaniel added that while it wasn’t exactly the team’s choice, he can see the positives of the situation:
I don’t think it’s a bad thing for people to see our day-in, day-out hard work. I know there’s some guys on this team that garner interest, and I think that a platform for them to showcase who they are, and really the fan base to get to know the players and coaches better – I can understand the value to the National Football League, to HBO, to NFL Films, and I can understand the value for the Miami Dolphins. It’s something that I think this particular team is equipped to handle.
The show will reportedly air on MAX later this fall. But an exact release date has yet to be announced.
