It's the offensive style we play and it fits our style of ball and level of skill. Good hands and route running but "so so" speed. Heckendorf reminds me of Cris Carter... a good posession receiver but not a deep threat. Once the Vikes got a deep burner in Moss they stepped it up to a higher level. Teams ignored Heckendorfs ability to go deep and he caught them off guard once in a while. It as Jordan Schultenover who made most of the big plays at Cal Poly. I think he caught 2 or 3 bombs late in the game. We need Belquist and Heckendorf to take a bubble screen to the house like Travis White used to do but I don't think they are fast enough to do it. That's OK because they are good at what they do. The same result just a different way of getting there. I think Holloway and Williams have some big play ability. Schultenover was huge late in the season.
I wouldn't use Troy Willamson as an example of speed since he's just a bad football player. Maybe Moss would be a better example!
