Detroit Lions ‘Hard Knocks” episode 2 open thread

The second episode of “Hard Knocks with the Detroit Lions” premieres at 10 p.m. ET Tuesday night on HBO and HBO Max simultaneously. Last week’s episode was a smash hit, highlighting Detroit’s fascinating—and always entertaining—coaching staff.

Now we’re entering uncharted territory for the documentary series. We’ve only seen a few clips here and there. This show could go in a number of directions. They could stay with the coaching staff, get into some of the nitty-gritty of camp battles, or highlight the bigger personalities amongst the players. It should also be interesting to see how they handle Friday’s preseason loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
