hey guys morey croson here doing another quarterback breakdown here today we're going to do
Eli Manning quarterback for the Giants were going to go with the NFL guy for this breakdown got a
couple requests with people that were asking about doing the eliminating breakdown so we thought we
would do that here today what we see with his throw is he actually does a really good job of
syncing up his throat what I mean by that is he does a good job of using the lower visor sink in
the lower body up with kind of the core the middle part of the body and then as well as well as the
the upper body and we'll take Lear with a throw but before we do I wanted to we have a couple guys
that have requested to show the whole throw before we get going so I just wanted to go and show what
Eli Manning looks like when you're going through that whole throw there slow motion obviously but
now from here we'll begin the breakdown he does a good job of getting into that that 9090 position
you can see how he has a lot of weight back when he's taking it step there and if that becomes
a big-time power leg but he gets a really quick he's off that back leg pretty quickly and starts
rotating in those hips and really want to get disassociation between the hips and the shoulders
which is something that Tom house preaches and so he's probably you know had some teaching with Tom
house but you can see probably about right here is where he's got the greatest stretch where
those hips are basically facing straight ahead those shoulders are pretty well turned back and
then from here he's just rotating big time in the upper body it's a really stable within that
front leg and he uses a lot of force from really the obliques down through the inside part of the
leg you still do that outside our leg as well in order to to generate the all the torque it's
that's used for the throw here I mean and I think what's important to to really take aways again how
instinct everything is so you can see that those hips get turned all the way around that upper body
gets turned all the way around and I'm sorry that mid body truck result turned all around and has
all that is all syncing up together that's right when you let's go to the ball and that's something
that we we try to preach for the quarterback there's a lot of times when ends up happening
is you end up getting your upper body through lower body through but then the arm is still
stuck way behind you so then you end up decreasing the amount of force that you're creating because
you're allowing that ball to stay too far back while you're going through the throw usually when
that happens you're having a hard time getting the fall too far behind your head or you're
having a really big lean with that front part of the body or the trunk so those two areas out there
are things that you really want to focus on on doing as a quarterback what I think our fifteens
have as quarterbacks one being that you create that disassociation where your hips are rotating
a little bit more in front of the upper body and then the other one would be sinking up that throw
we do did a video and our membership page it talks all about that that synchronization of the lower
body upper body and the arm and I think this is a great example somebody that they will do that
very very well and then the next one we're going to do is going to be a deep ball okay and so we
can see here there's a lot of similarities with some of the other guys are doing better doing the
third deep balls in the NFL so on this one he's not putting as much force on it but you can see
same type of thing he's got loaded onto his back leg he gets off his front I'll do he's probably
pretty quickly he has kind of the the rising technique as he's coming up and through so he's
going to allow that back to extend a little bit is going to kind of rise up and almost try to dig
through that front heel to really generate the force going forward and really use a lot of hip
extension in the throw and obviously you know one of the the things and the benefits that you end
up having by by having decide to throw is you got to be a bigger guy somebody that has the leverage
and the you know the body angles that to generate a lot of force when doing this throw but obviously
my feeling Manning does so no he creates again it gets those hips way ahead of himself there
you see how he's stepping and rotating and then he uses the upper body and kind of brings that
core forward and then from there you all whip to generate the ball for days pulling down with
that with that heel to really make the throw there for the deep ball I'll also show them the complete
throw during that deep ball okay so you can see now he's not going to try to throw it you know 50
yards here it's not a crazy throw bit because it's a good enough default yet to put some loft on the
way you can see that there's a different technique in this one how he's kind of rising up in his
throw and continuing that rotation that to the to the front leg rather than the other one which was
much more kind of straight ahead and how the body was transferring through I think that one thing
that would be important to kind of look at do is realize that when he's rotating on that front leg
how his hips are just going to the side maybe a little bit back they're never going inside or back
towards us kind of this way he's only going this way the hips or backward hips a lot of times I
have a quarterback to come in when they're trying to throw and they would have this kind of rising
technique to their throw their body will end up shifting in lower body this way towards us but he
does a good job keeping all that range of motion all that power to the outside part of the leg and
I think that's a big benefit for them I mean - in terms of how he generates more power from
the lower body and really drives through that heel when when comes your throwing us and I think that
could be a good thing as well but it's going that deep ball push down to that heel okay make sure
that heel stays down and see a lot of times when you go and transfer on that front leg that front
heel comes up as you're trying to extend that knee like how he does here I'm going to tell you does
a good job really using the posterior chain the glutes the hamstrings and really pushing down that
heel and using that to to throw the ball so thanks for the rep recommendation for the UM a breakdown
there's really a couple good things that we're able to see when when going through the breakdown
here if you have any questions please reach out to me my email is morey@yourperformancelab.com
we have another cool break down here on YouTube so check out other videos on our channel share
it comment like all that type of good stuff we really appreciate it subscribe of course and
then we also have a membership on our website and I think would be awesome for you to check out we
go over different throws with different things that would like relate to speed that relate to
throwing mechanics for both quarterbacks and pictures as well as just general exercises
to work on ways to maybe reduce neck pain or hip pain anything's like that shoulder pain obviously
and then also obviously we want to make it so you can perform better as well so thanks
for watching the video we will have another breakdown for you this weekend thank you soon
