[2D]

I'd like to know the extent of Brown's injury. Kirk will speak on it tomorrow, but I'm curious if it's still lingering and if it's going to affect the way he plays.

Yes, I don’t put any stock into the depth chart. If Hank loses any time this week at practice, you gotta start Hecklinski.

 

[Hurricane88]

Short week, I would like to think the coaching staff wouldn't have put them starting in the depth chart if they were not completely confident that these guys were not ready to go.

 

[Burghawk87]

Unless there is an obvious trip to the hospital these early depth charts are just reflections of how the prior game ended. Since 1999.

My God, an Injured Brown would move him from the 16th/17th best BIG QB, straight to 18.

it was his throwing shoulder, correct?

Yes, I don’t put any stock into the step chart. If Hank loses any time this week at practice, you gotta start Hecklinski.

Kirk admitted that last week he half assed the depth chart and missed something/someone

They do not have to disclose injuries until 2 hours before kickoff, so...

Makes no sense to let UW know which qb to prepare for

Not of we don't!

 

[Driftless_Hawk]

Does anyone know where Washington is at injury wise coming into this game?

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

He should list Sullivan as QB1. Imagine the uproar here?

So AIRBHG has struck Washington now? Down to 4th string? I'll allow it...

You mean you hope if he plays the injury will allow him to connect with WIDE OPEN receivers? Interesting.

Indeed. KF is clever like that.

 

[DukeSlater]

I think Sullivan would do a fine job, but Hecklinski DESERVES to start. KF said the QB competition was "even," yet Brown has made every single start, and Heck didn't even take a single snap vs. ISU or Michigan, and he wouldn't have vs. OSU either--despite Brown's two turnovers--had Brown not been dinged. That's an interesting definition of "even competition."

do you think they should alternate every other snap, or weight snaps based on socioeconomic factors ? for true equity

Oh come on. Time to let hecklinski play. Brown had 16 points vs isu, 13 vs Michigan and 6 vs OSU

not Ferentz unless Brown can't walk

Hell put Bessinger in!

 

[Iron Doc]

If Heck won't be given a fair shot, might The Capt turn to Ed Podolak, assuming he has some eligibility left?

 

[TRHawkeye28]

No idea if the "turnover prone" comments of Heck had any validity or not. Or if they were just internet rumors. But obviously Hank is no better in that department.

So if it was potentially a separator between the 2 then we need to cross it off. It's a completely different game if Hank doesn't fumble on the 2nd play and throw the pick. And then missing wide open WRs most of the game were just huge drive killers

Hoping he can start piecing it together quick. Or give Heck a couple series to start the game. What's the worse that could happen? Ok he turns it over...so does Hank

 

[BuschLatte06]

I'm not sold on either QB. Obviously they have different play styles and different strengths. Both seem very room temperature to me. This isn't the cupcake Big 10 West anymore. If we have playoff aspirations these types of QBs just ain't gonna cut it.

Ironically after Friday rest of schedule is the whole Big Ten West

No shat. We'd be in a much, much better position playing Maryland, Rutgers, MSU, and PSU where a 4-0 mark would pretty much be guaranteed.

Based on today's information, I think Heck starts.

 

[Franisdaman]

Kirk said today that Hank Brown is “really limited” right now.

Adds that he has confidence in Jeremy Hecklinski if he gets the start on Friday.

 

[Franisdaman]

Kirk also said this on the possibility of Hank starting on Friday: "We can't count on it, for sure. That'd be short-sighted."

KF also praised Heck for his preparation and how he played against tOSU, saying that "I think we have two good quarterbacks."

If Heck starts, who will be QB2? Guessing it won't be Brown....
