The NFL-produced Hard Knocks series on HBO this summer will feature the Miami Dolphins.

After much speculation over which team would be the focus of the behind-the-scenes series that follows one team in summer training camp, the choice of the Dolphins was announced Tuesday.

It will be the first time Knocks follows a team with a first-year coach -- in this case, Joe Philbin. The five-episode series, which will be produced by a 24-person NFL Films crews, debuts Aug. 7.
