quick recap for those who cant watch.

Something is telling me that this team their playing is going to be the guys who got cut.

 

[juck]

Hawk is gonna win.Just cause he is and training for canadian team means nothing.That may be a lie to divert too.

 

[speedkilz88]

Not necessarily. Winning the show guarnatees him a slot on the 80-man training camp roster, but not the final 53-man team roster. So trying out and making other clubs is a good contingency plan in case he doesn't "stick" in the NFL, should he be the 4th-And-Long finalist.

I disagree. The winner is suppose to be working out with Michael Irvin, not the Montreal Alouettes.

Anyone else have problems finding yesterday's full episode on spike tv? I usually watch it around this time on Tuesdays.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I thought I read, or heard, that the winner would be working out with Michael from the time the show ended until training camp began? Is that not true? That's another reason I figured that Hawkins must not be winning the whole thing.

horrible journalism to post that during the season

watching the show it seems the 3 WR's are far better than the DB's. Even Jones, who seems lazy, has intriguing size and athletic ability. Then when you look at the 3 WR's, Hawkins seems the clear cut favorite. I just don't see how he could be playing up in the CFL if he had won.

So I'm guessing Holley is the winner? Those 4 DB's have no chance of beating out DeAngelo Smith, Mike Mickens, Mike Hamlin, Alan Ball, Courtney Brown, or Pat Watkins for a roster spot. At least Holley or Hawkins can challenge for a spot.

Did anyone watch the show yesterday? Was it on?

Its gotten to the point where you cant really call any of these guys lazy.

Irvin takes it way to overboard with these guys.

5 hours of constant exercise like that is nuts.

 

[BigWillie]

I think it's going to be Holley.
He's consistent, fast enough, big, strong, competitive.
Jones is Irvin's favorite due to similar style, but other than Hawkins the only guy with a chance is Holley.

Doubt it's going to be Holley either. He's been in Chapel Hill for a few weeks playing pickup basketball with some of the former UNC basketball players against the current team.

Interesting. So no Hawkins or Holley? Those were my two picks that would win this show...

Just got done watching the show. Spike finally put up the episode. That was some intense stuff at the end. 5 hours of basic bootcamp is hardcore. Next week, a chance to play with Jerry Rice.

Then I hope the winner is a DB. Montrell Jones is terrible.

Looks like Rice brings his own squad to the Cotton Bowl to play against these guys. Instead of playing against themselves, they'll have to go against a hated rival.

Hawkins if really fun to watch, but I have a feeling that Holley is going to win. He more closely fits the profile of a Cowboys wideout.

That last segment was grueling to watch. I was really surprised that Jones didn't throw in the towel.

He had his hammy as an excuse.

 

[dadymat]

This is really just a bad show. It's so over the top.

this is great TV man......IMO

So based on this article is it safe to assume that Hawkins doesn't make it?

Hawkins will win......Holley is a close second but barring injury or personal reasons hes got this

I think it's going to be Holley.
He's consistent, fast enough, big, strong, competitive.
Jones is Irvin's favorite due to similar style, but other than Hawkins the only guy with a chance is Holley.

if not Hawk...Holley for sure (he was my first impression pick during the first ep)

I thought Washington was gonna be the one....im shocked no one quit or got injured.....5 hrs......wow

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Right now, just going off the shows, I think Hawk is the clear leader and Holley is firmly in second.

There isn't a shot, at this point, that any of those DBs are going to win it. Gamble and Washington especially are really, really, really poor players.
