New York Times  

For weeks, the New York Jets told anyone who would listen they did not want to appear on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this season. GO DEEPER Jets on 'Hard Knocks': 15 things I'll be watching — and who will emerge as a scene-stealer Episode 1, in summary This season might as well be called “Hard Knocks: Aaron Rodgers.” Just as he’s the center of the Jets’ universe, everything on the show revolves around him. HBO showed a practice where the offense won — there hasn’t been many of those yet — and Wilson walked around the field, yelling at his defensive teammates: “How the grass taste?” Then, HBO cleverly transitioned from Wilson to Gardner by highlighting their matchups in practice, Offensive Rookie of the Year versus Defensive Rookie of the Year. The cameras didn’t follow Wilson home or anything, but Wilson did sit down for an interview with producers where he admitted that “things felt like they were getting worse each week” during last season’s struggles.
