hey what's up everyone Morey Croson stood here from the performance lab of California and we're
gonna do another breakdown here for you today on Andrew Luck and with Andrew Luck here it's gonna
be a little bit of a different breakdown it's gonna be about his before surgery which this one
is his before here what before so even though I'm not excellent speller this is 2012 that one was a
little bit too with the the pen here and then also this is after 2018 so this was a couple weeks ago
against the the golf ins looks like my might pen here is fading with the battery but and then the
right is a good game against the Lions in 2012 come-from-behind win for the Lions and really
we've been trying to knock these out here for you guys so hope you enjoy I'm gonna go ahead and just
let the play just so you can see go ahead and slow down a couple times I'm just gonna do one angle
this time which I know I don't usually do that you can see it's a pretty similar throw on both sides
so you kind of see what it looks like from one to the other I would like to say to that Andrew
Luck I mean overall has before or after very very efficient very good at getting the ball out of his
hands quickly very good at being able to transfer his weight it's very stable in that that front leg
I mean there's a lot of things that he does very well and that's why really he was one of the best
quarterbacks in the NFL before the injury and he's and still is maintaining that that status
currently is one of the the better quarterbacks in the NFL sorry I just did this recording a few
minutes ago and ended up it wasn't working so I just wanted to double check to make sure it was
actually working this time so let's go and hop right through it so we'll start out with the one
on the right cuz that was before and there's a couple things that I really want to or hope
that you can see in the throne and first thing is is notice how he's pushing off the back leg
you know from an overall stride perspective pretty pretty similar you know maybe here he's taking
a little bit bigger stride but overall looks pretty similar has a pretty good weight shift
here especially on the on the right side he does a really good job of shifting his weight forward
but then also gets full rotation as he's going through the throw he gets puts a lot of rotation
in his lower body and then we compare that to now where as he's transferring his weight forward
notice how he's transferring his weight but then he gets a little bit of rotation it really stops
that rotation doesn't get as much consistent turn stops about there and then as he's coming through
he's really not turning as much in the actual actual throw but his finish ends up being pretty
similar so as he's stepping now he's getting a little bit more open and even when he's actually
blowing it and initiating here he gets more of a twist there in comparison here where he goes and
steps and this is much more of like that type of a movement so he's going towards this his target
and then from there then he rotates where now he goes and really steps and then rotates pretty
much simultaneously now and just has to have a lot more stability within that front leg and so
how the weight shift is is it looks a little bit like there's they like he made a change there got
a little bit more conscientious of that now the bigger thing though and because it really was
a lot I mean there's some shoulder problems that were going on within it and it looks like now he
puts a big focus on really driving through it the up and I know we can't see the one on the
right as well a little bit older and I you know how we do the comparison videos had to zoom in a
little bit so kind of mess with the quality but going into it so notice he brings that on back
and then really from there he brings that elbow through but that elbow is really not driving all
the way forward he kind of lets that ball get away from his head a little bit here ball gets
away from his head and really gets that elbow gets away from his head as well as a little bit
more kind of I mean that type of a route with that angle with that elbow rather than now where notice
how ways he's coming through he really drives that elbow straight through and put the big emphasis on
keeping that that that elbow close to his body right he doesn't let that elbow come out to the
side so as he's coming here right there he gets it that looks like a similar movement and then
from there elbows really dominating that throw in comparison to here where he kind of let's there
be a little bit of drag where that ball kind of gets back behind the elbow and you know it doesn't
doesn't drive through as much ends up throwing a lot more with that front shoulder we're here
he's using a lot more back shoulder by being able to fully drive that elbow all the way through and
you can definitely see like there's a difference between where he was here and allowing that that
arm to kind of go out and how his body overall rotates he doesn't rotate all the way through
during that throwing comparison to here you know see how he how he when he finishes he's coming
through boom he kind of stops that rotation right there so he's going here boom stop that rotation
see how that happens right there using a little bit more arm in comparison to now whereas coming
through he puts that big throw or you use that elbow and then as you use that elbow really gets
a big pullback with that front arm to fully rotate all the way through that spine and get that full
turn and again I mean the ending solution or the ending result doesn't look super different you
might be a little bit more like in this angle here now in comparison to here where he's might
be a little bit more straight up but overall it looks like it's a similar result in it and I think
part of the reason that is because before he would rotate a lot during that throw so he would end up
getting to a similar position at the end or now he doesn't have as much rotation but he in in in the
sense but he gets a lot of rotation in the upper body and so he ends up to get into a very overall
similar spot so yeah I mean just wanted to show a comparison from where he is now to where it was
before just that would be very very interesting and keep on doing these breakdowns thanks for
sending in those recommendations will get to like I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get Donovan
McNabb drew Buster's gonna be a little bit more difficult just because you know using the game
past it seems like being able to you know I don't know if true but so when he was playing if we can
get to that film but if we can we'll certainly do that and yeah I keep on sending those in I really
appreciate it well we're gonna keep on knocking them out for you there's always if you have any
questions you can send me an email at Mori mo re Y at your performance live.com with the whole
throat breakdown and thro program I definitely always recommend people to get in we're trying
to get more of a scientific approach to helping quarterbacks get better there's a lot of really
good information that we're getting by being able to continually do these breakdowns not only of
top-tier quarterbacks professional quarterbacks cup top college prospects but as well as seeing
how the development process is for younger youth quarterbacks high school college middle school by
being able to really connect with with what's going on there and help build a foundation for
your mechanics as you get older we'll really be able to serve you well and also the drills and
how we're doing I mean we'll really want to make this program super complete and super beneficial
for you so as always I highly recommend you being a part of the program I think you'll really really
benefit from from doing it and yeah if you like I said if you have questions reach out and we
will talk to you soon thanks so much for watching this video I hope you really enjoyed it if you did
you could subscribe down below in that way if you get updates on any of the new videos that
we get also if you want to check out some of our other breakdowns for speed and throwing you have
exercises also jumping mechanics videos a lot of crazy stuff within our channel hope you enjoy
