The third episode of HBO's Hard Knocks following along Seahawks training camp, aired on Tuesday evening and in Episode 3, fans got a look at how accountable head coach Mike Macdonald is when he detailed his coaching philosophy from his first year. The episode also gave receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba his flowers and captured the moment cornerback Devon Witherspoon walked into the locker room after signing his contract extension.
Here are some top highlights from Episode 3:
Episode 3 put together a visually interesting feature on Smith-Njigba that detailed what makes him such a great route runner. During a practice, in the episode, Macdonald can be seen on the side saying "Jesus. This (expletive) guy," after Smith-Njigba beat Witherspoon and caught a touchdown. Macdonald also call him the "Silver Surfer."
The episode also detailed everything that second-year receiver Montorie Foster Jr. has dealt with since entering the league. The undrafted free agent spent time with the Seahawks during his first year before getting injured. He went home and became a substitute teacher and got his real estate license. Now he's back trying to carve out a role for himself.
Witherspoon is a player who is always showing love to his teammates, and after signing his contract, his teammates showed him the same love.
