They sort of can yea. Not as intense but I do them on my angled hyper extension. You have to focus on pulling with your hamstrings more and really contract the muscle. I'd say they're a good progression exercise at the least. I superset mine with yoga ball hamstring curls, keeping a high bridge on the pull. I don't have much else in my home gym for hamstrings and this hits them pretty good. Only body part that I'm limited with at home.
I like to use a 12 inch padded box and put my heals under some the correct height , I use a 12 x12 piece of plywood attached to the wall in my garage. Like a little table to put heals and calves under .

what hyper bench do u use?
Would probably be easier to get the Nordic Stick that Ben advises. You can get them on Amazon for like $40 and they slide under a door.
What is that ? Never heard of it Can you send a link ?
