The Houston Texans are this year's featured team on HBO's Hard Knocks series. The show continues with episode two on Tuesday, August 18, and the San Francisco 49ers might get some air time. HBO released a press release for the latest episode, and it appears like it will include some 49ers-Texans action toward the end of the episode. HBO says, "[T]he team launches its preseason slate with a home game against the San Francisco 49ers with NFL FILMS cameras and microphones embedded to cover the action."
I have to think we hear some audio of the 49ers goal line stand. Mike Purcell said that Tony Jerod-Eddie was mic'd up, and I imagine some other players were as well. That will hopefully get us a little something in the episode. That goal line stand was the most notable aspect of the game, so maybe we hear something about that.
Here's the full rundown of the episode:
2014 first round pick Jadeveon Clowney pines to return to the lineup; New Jersey native and defensive standout Brian Cushing is profiled; the intensity of camp picks up as linebacker coach Mike Vrabel turns up the heat and Vince Wilfork's shoes start to bubble; Wilfork and J.J. Watt discuss the best meal of the day; corner back Charles James unveils his stockpile of socks; running back Alfred Blue battles Cushing in the backfield; the rookies pay a visit to the barbershop; rookies and veterans show some style at home and at the mall; and the team launches its preseason slate with a home game against the San Francisco 49ers with NFL FILMS cameras and microphones embedded to cover the action.
The episode airs on HBO at 10 p.m. ET and PT. It will re-air several other times if you don't get a chance to watch. And I believe it will be available on HBO's On Demand services. Here is the full list of pertinent viewing information:
