Giants’ Joe Schoen ‘never fully got comfortable’ with ‘Hard Knocks’ filming

The novelty wore off over time.
The intrusion became less noticeable, the vibe less invasive.
Still, a featured subject in the upcoming “Hard Knocks’’ series never fully embraced having his every word and action chronicled for possible public consumption.
“It was a little uncomfortable at first,’’ Giants general manager Joe Schoen said. “We were able to get used to the cameras being around. You’d be in your office and I’d look and it hadn’t moved yet today or we’d have a conversation with somebody and next thing you know you see the camera moving and zooming in on somebody.
“I think NFL Films does a great job, I think it’s going to be a good project but I never fully got comfortable with the cameras being around you the whole time.’’
Starting Tuesday, the curtain will be pulled back — somewhat — on the Giants as they make their debut on HBO’s ground-breaking docuseries.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
