Super Bowl LIII Preview

After being burned by a trick play in last year’s Super Bowl, Bill Belichick’s Patriots will have to be on their toes against young, aggressive head coach Sean McVay.

“Sometimes you just have to go for it, man. Give it a shot,” Rams special teams coordinator John Fassel said, according to Patriots.com. “Coach McVay is fearless, so having that attitude, you feel like you can be, too. He’s very risky, and that mindset really bleeds into the whole team.”

With punter Johnny Hekker on their side, “I don’t think we’re catching anybody by surprise (with a fake punt),” Fassel said, per The Ringer.

A high school quarterback who led his squad to the Washington state Class 4A championship game, Hekker’s completed 11 regular season passes in his NFL career, and another in the playoffs. He’s also completed a pass for a two-point conversion.

In college, Hekker beat out current Patriots punter Ryan Allen for the punting job at Oregon State.

“He was by far the best basketball player at Oregon State that wasn’t on the basketball team,” former Beavers quarterback and current Rams backup Sean Mannion said, per The Ringer. “Dunking on people, shooting threes, everything.”

Unfortunately for Hekker, McVay, and Fassel, Belichick is more than aware of Hekker’s arm-related exploits.

“Yeah, again, he’s a weapon on the field,” Belichick recently said, according to USA Today. “He can change field position. He’s a good situational punter and obviously, he’s very athletic and you have to respect his ability to handle the ball. I think the main thing when you send your punt return team out there is you want to make sure you get the ball back at the end of the play. That’s not always that difficult, but with these guys, it’s pretty challenging.”

In 2016, Belichick called Hekker “as good a player as I’ve ever seen at that position.”

“They’re going to be less susceptible (to trick plays) because they’re really good, they’re really sound, and they’ve got very veteran players,” Fassel said, per Patriots.com. “You’ve got (Matthew) Slater, (Nate) Ebner, (Brandon) King, (Albert) McClellan, (Ramon) Humber, the list goes on and on. There probably isn’t much they haven’t seen. They’ve played in a lot of postseason games, and they have veteran guys who their only role is special teams, so they’re going to be really good.

“I’m looking forward to competing against them just in regular football. Everybody talks about the fakes, but covering kicks, returning kicks will be I think a really big part of the game. Just in the grind-it-out part of it.”
