hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have a brand new breakdown for you today it's
going to be on dan marino and his quick release and going in depth into how he's able to achieve
that quick release there was a popularized kind of term that he utilized when coming
to throw which is just up and out with the ball and you know kind of breaking that down and giving
a better explanation of exactly what that means and how you're able to apply it to your own
load and release to make it so you're able to get the ball out of your hands a little bit faster
as always if you like the information go ahead and click that like button down below that really
helps us out a lot subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and if you have any questions or
recommendations for us you can go ahead and leave that in the comments down below we'll go and hop
in the video right now all right so just like typical when i do these breakdowns i like to start
from you know and really going into the release i like to look into when the ball initially
leaves the hand what we'll do is from the time the ball leaves the hand there's that kind of upward
motion that he's doing and he still goes back when he he's going obviously where the ball
you know he was here and so you could see that he did go back during the load it's not
just about going up and then going out you do have to actually load the pec that's a
biomechanical thing that is a necessity that you need to be able to do when throwing but i do like
the concept of trying to keep it a lot more going upwards and then outwards within the throw instead
of getting too caught up and bringing the ball back and a lot of people do get stuck with the
ball you know back in this area where if you could just get the ball kind of up and then
out it does make it so you can obviously cut down on your release time so i do like the concept but
there is part of it that is i think a little bit of a misconception where you know he just
lifts the ball and then goes out and doesn't load the ball back at all
and you can see here with that load that he does in fact bring the ball back uh and you can
see that in terms of his throw you know it looks like he ends up getting rid of the ball in about
0.5 seconds from you know when he first started i don't know if this is about 25 seconds in his
in his throw there um on that particular throw we'll go and look at this one as well
so you can see again he gets the ball in kind of a neutral position
and then starting the clock here at 95 32 i'm just going to go with regular here
he kind of gets the ball back until 95 49 so just right there is about 0.17 in in terms of
just that loading process and then he drives the elbow gets rid of the ball at about .69
so that was about .37 in terms of release time which is pretty good you know overall that's
not the the fastest release that we've done we've seen a lot of guys that are closer into 0.32 0.33
and you know i do think dan moreno did have a really fast release and was able to get the ball
you know obviously out of his hands really quickly but i think that also during the time
there was a lot of people that had a lot more of an inefficient movement pattern when it comes to
throwing and so it really stood out a lot where you know he was able to get the ball out a lot
faster than a lot of the other quarterbacks that were you know in the nfl at that time period we're
now you know there it's a lot more common to see guys that have that really fast release we have
you know like aaron rodgers and patrick mahomes and you know even lamar jackson has a pretty
fast overall release uh russell wilson does as well so there's a lot of guys that are able to
get the ball out of their hands very very quickly they're currently playing um and you know they're
comparative to dan marino and what his release was and what's amazing is that you can see here you
know dan marino was doing it in 1984. so um some of these guys are and now is when you know people
are typically getting the ball out of their hands at about .37 seconds there's a lot of guys that we
get breakdowns of that are in like the upper point fives um in terms of you know getting the ball out
of their hands and the reason is is because they do spend too much time bringing the ball
back although another one here um looks like he's kind of releasing at 99.09 in terms of the time
can't really tell when he kind of gets it all the way back and he gets it out of his hand at 99.56
which .47 yeah again that one you know it's a little bit longer 0.47 it is a longer period
of time uh before he gets the ball out and still when you're watching it you know you can see that
it's a very very quick release it's not like it's a slow release but he's just not as you know he's
somebody that with his overall load it's a little bit unique in that he doesn't spend too much time
you can even see it here he doesn't spend too much time going back at all he has the ball
pretty low which i think is what impacts it makes it so there is a little bit more time there right
and he has the ball also pretty far away from him right because a lot of times we see quarterbacks
have the ball a little bit more here and a little bit higher up so maybe even more to that position
and then they throw from here but he's a little bit further outside but then from there he does
just kind of go right up he does go back a little bit but he just kind of brings the ball right up
and then drives the elbow through which is why he's able to get the ball out of his hands
really really fast is there's just not a lot of wasted motion and and bringing that bulb up
he's just kind of moving that elbow right up and through which i do like and i think it's
very very efficient um i just want to give some numbers and and give some clarity in terms of
you know how much time it does take for him to get the ball out so you know in terms of
his release yeah it is definitely a elite release release but um it's not something that it is not
currently attainable in in the game today um and you know also give you a better concept of that
up and out and you know make it so you can actually see what that means because i get a
lot of guys that talk to me about oh yeah you know dan marino he was all up and out and then you see
them go and throw and you know that up and out makes it so you just can't load the pet correctly
and so seeing dan marino here you can see that he does actually go back with the ball it's not just
up and out he goes back and he first initially loads right he's going back here going back and
then he drives the ball up and out and so there is a period of time where he does go back it's
just not near as long as you know again some guys that go and get the ball really stuck back behind
your head so to be efficient you want to be able to get that elbow involved the best that you can
and you do want to have a quick release overall and so being able to get the concept of how to
load and still how to get that elbow through and seeing what that up and out looks like with dan
marino and somebody who really pop popularized that up and out concept i think we should really
help you guys from being able to better understand how to maximize the efficiency of your release
all right as always thanks for watching these videos if you have any questions you can go ahead
and you know leave those in the comments in the comments down below and we have a lot of cool
things available within our current programs um we have a seven day release or a seven day
uh free trial we have a quarterback ebook we have some videos about how to maximize your
release all down in the description below and we also have a link to our three-month program
really beneficial especially if you're not playing right now i'd really highly recommend you getting
in the three-month program she really makes a huge difference in terms of really understanding
what it is you need to do and also get you on a program to be able to make consistent
improvement within your throw alright as always thanks for watching and we'll talk to you soon
