Its a great show. I watch it every year regardless of the team. It really only impacts a few guys that get featured, and sometimes changes your feelings on a coach.
Last year we got introduced to Darren Waller from the raiders, who had a great story of coming back from addiction and turning his life around, and he had a GREAT year.
A few years ago with the Dolphins it made me REALLY dislike Joe Philbin. He looked completely lost, and what I remember most is that he was really concerned there wasn't any cursing during the rookie talent show. Just something completely stupid to worry about in a room full of grown men.
Anyway, I always get a kick out of watching some of the coaching behind the scenes. It drives home how pure and cutthroat football is at the same time. If you are not good enough, you are gone. If they find someone better, you are gone.
I would love to see the cards on it. I don't think its a distraction, because its during preseason and between other shows, online stuff, and stuff done by the club itself....these guys are constantly on camera anyway. I think the biggest reason that teams don't want to be on the show is that they don't want dirty laundry aired, and they are afraid someone (coach or player) will make a fool of themselves.
