I bet you were just wondering when we would hear more about the upcoming season of HBO's "Hard Knocks" that will feature your Houston Texans.  The first episode will air August 11th as HBO captures events during training camp, but the film crews are already working the cameras and creating promos while the players grind through their third week of organized team activities.

The Mothership posted THIS article highlighting that the "Hard Knocks" crew was busy shooting a promo with Tom Savage, Ben Jones and Alfred Blue.  That article has some great behind-the-scenes images you should see.

The trio simulated a hand off as the cameras captured the action and dialogue. Below you can see a video of the setup as the players went through several takes.

Lights. Camera. ACTION. @hbo's Hard Knocks is in the building.
