freakademic.bsky.social @freakademic.bsky.social · 4hThe main thing to me is that they seem to be unwilling to let Hecklinski play under center or from the pocket. Going shotgun (every?) play and rolling out whenever you throw is pretty limiting. I do wish they'd bootleg Hank a bit more often, just to stretch things horizontally, though. 120
freakademic.bsky.social @freakademic.bsky.social · 4hHecklinski definitely had a good day, and I could be wrong, but I didn't see anything that Hank can't do. And I think Hank can do a lot that Hecklinski can't. 440
