The Miami Dolphins are teaming up with HBO Sports and NFL Films for the latest installment of ‘Hard Knocks,’ the cable network’s series which offers an all-access pass into the daily lives and routines of a successful NFL team.
‘Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins’ will kick off its five-episode season on Aug. 7. This edition will also mark the 40th anniversary of what some sports fans call the greatest season in NFL history -- Don Shula’s 1972 Dolphins, who had a perfect undefeated record.
Said Ken Hershman, president of HBO Sports: ‘This marks the first time that the series has featured a first-year head coach (Joe Philbin), and we are extremely grateful to both Coach Philbin and the entire organization for agreeing to participate. As always, there will be plenty on the line for veterans, free agents and rookies.’
The Dolphins are in the competitive AFC West division. A 24-person NFL Films crew will live at the team’s training camp in South Florida, shooting more than 1,000 hours of video over the course of the series.
