Dolphins adjusting to Hard Knocks

"Hard Knocks," HBO's annual training camp documentary series featuring the Dolphins this year, will debut Tuesday, Aug. 7 at 10 p.m. EDT. The finale is set to air Sept. 4.

This is the seventh season for the series, which struggled to find a featured team until the Dolphins agreed to do it in late May. Several teams passed on the series, including the Jets, Broncos, Redskins, Colts, Falcons and Seahawks.

Dolphins defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle has experience with the series from his time with the Bengals.

"You can't allow anything to be a distraction. In this league, there are going to be cameras on you each and every place you go," Coyle said this week. "We have a job to do. You have to focus on that job and you have to that singleness of purpose and focus of mind to go out there and not let anything get in your way.

"We talked about the fact that the guys in 'Hard Knocks' crew do a phenomenal job. They say that after a couple of days you won't notice that they (crew) are in anything, that they kind of blend in. I didn't really agree with that, prior to it happening, but honestly, it's that way."
