HBO's "Hard Knocks" has been a big hit over the years following teams during training camp, giving fans an inside look at the various teams featured.
This year, the show is producing an in-season spin-off following the Colts.
The Patriots will play the Colts on Saturday night and it appears at least a few members of the organization will be/or have been paying attention to the show.
"We have people in our organization that scout the games in advance of when we play the teams," Bill Belichick said via video conference Monday. "Starting two or three weeks before we play, they start to really track those teams and see how injuries have affected, if they have shifted their style of play, or whatever’s happened with the team. We track almost everything those teams, any team that we play does. Depending on the relevance or importance of that information, at some point, it gets relayed down the line. Yeah. We have somebody that studies each team, whether it’s any relevant comments or information that we think we think is relevant to the preparation for the team. That could be shared."
New England has never been featured on the show, and it doesn't seem like it will happen as long as Belichick is the coach of the team.
“There’s a lot of reasons why I wouldn’t be excited about it,” he said.
