From what I gather, Franklin is a more instinctual/natural player, and isn't the student of the game that a Blaine Gabbert or Chase Daniel was. Chalk talk is not his specialty. (I'd guess this is because he grew up playing other positions).
I mean, the guy doesn't even like designed read running plays (has stated he'd rather know he's keeping or giving). There was talk this year, early, about Berkstresser helping Franklin read defenses better.
I don't know how Mauk is at absorbing offense/chalk talk/etc. But I'd suspect he's pretty good, being a coach's son, an offensive guru's son, and someone who grew up around the game.
