what's up everyone Morey Croson here from the performance lab of California we're gonna do
another throw breakdown here today on Warren Moon I've been trying to do more breakdowns of
people that I've gotten the recommendations for rather than the guys that I'm just interested in
of course you know through the recommendation and my interest depends on how fast I go through the
guys but I want to make it so I'm getting more of the things that you guys like so we gotten plenty
of people that have vast belt worn Lou and I've been meaning to do Warren Moon for a little bit
but just and just had another guy that brought him up again so I said I gotta do Warren Moon
so yeah now we'll break it down water moon has a very very interesting release because he has
something that a lot of times they end up trying to teach out of people just because it seems like
overall not a great habit now I think one of the reasons that Warren Moon was able to perform well
and this is just because he's a very big guy but then he's also able to get a lot of here's
a lot of core strength as well and you know that that ends up being a big thing so what he ends up
doing as he's throwing is he ends up creating a lot of kind of leans back a lot when he's going
through his throw and when you lean back you end up putting a lot of pressure on the low back and
that's usually why I try to train that out of people now even I mean that would really Sloan
it down you can see does do a good job of really getting those hips all the way through so he's
not lean back too much but you can definitely see that he does have some spine you know it does lean
back a little bit in the spine there but that's one of the things that makes it so he has a very
very good deep balls because he gets so much disassociation between the hips and that lower
back and he really loads up a lot right and that kind of lower QL as he's going back or like lower
low back area so as he's going here he really has a big load here and how he brings his arm out to
the side is very interesting I mean there's almost no quarterback coaches so you could see they could
find I would teach a guy to do kind of what he did with his front arm but it just kind of slings it
open like that I certainly wouldn't just because it ends up just having a lot of they have some
accuracy potential accuracy problems with with how you're doing that there and you just want to make
that front shoulder a little bit more controlled and stabilized now I think that's what is able
to make it so he still gets the power is that he opens up this front shoulder really early and just
has you know basically his left hips all the way open its left shoulders all the open and he has
a lot of range of motion the PEC to really reach back and still be able to throw him that's where
a lot of his strength came from he has a lot of PEC strength and a lot of ability to lengthen
the pack because he's a tall big guy as well so that's one of the things he does I wanted to get
that view so then you could least see kind of how he steps and rotates and how he has
that that force on that front leg as he's going through the throw and and he does a good job of
continuing rotation there onto that front leg but the next throw you could see a little more of the
front view and how he kind of opens it all up you could still see so it's hips open first right see
how those hips are opening then it's the shoulder and yeah that children gets through a little bit
too early as well but he's able to you know that's what generates the velocity right there's a lot of
stretch there okay and I was on maximum stretch you could see how much he's putting on that PEC
and that's what makes it so now he could just swing that ball all the way through one of the
things that I've been talking to people a lot recently too and I think it's a good thing to
think about is make sure you're coming through here that elbow is really the first thing that
comes through right see how do you when he's coming back and as he begins that transition
of bringing that back elbow through how it's the elbow that leads the the throw right so it's an
elbow comes forward first and then it's a snap through okay you want to be able to as you're
on your way back you want to feel that elbow lead the way and then ball comes through also he does
a good job of being on top of the ball see how when he's coming through his hand is basically
right on the side of the ball it's not it's not underneath the ball he doesn't let that his wrist
Bend as he's coming through that's a big problem that I see is a lot of times of the wrists and the
bent and the balls on top of the hand but he does a good job of having a very strong hand and that
makes it so when he throws the football he's able to get a lot of whip a lot of rotation through the
throw so yeah really what his big thing is his ability to stretch in his PEC right so he gets
that that left hip open he lets that left shoulder open a lot there how both those parts of his body
really far open he still has that ball back loading up I mean even this position he's still
loading here right because he could see still bringing that ball back he does an interesting
thing where he this is definitely something that that a lot of guys don't do that because
he doesn't really get to that 9090 position he just kind of brings the ball straight back and
then straight up and then he'll goes back and around right so see how he goes back and around
to make it so that elbow comes through that's I mean that's a way to make it so the guys that just
lift the ball straight up that's the way to make it so it works there's a lot of times what ends
up happening is the guys that get this position the first thing that comes forward is that elbow
just comes through and they start rotating okay and that ends up being an inaccuracy what he's
doing it's making a difference is he gets that ball right up back behind by his head and then
he brings the ball back and around right see how high that ball the first movement is to go back
around as that elbows coming through now that elbow ends up coming straight through and the
ball comes right up overhead rather than the ball coming across and so he still throws and delivers
that ball straight ahead rather than a lot of times when you have guys that get into this
position right here then they end up circling that elbow around which which impacts the throw
so very interesting to just see it all from that perspective and seeing you know how he's able to
succeed there okay this one's he's just really driving at home here look how well he gets that
disassociation that's the big thing I mean he really turns that hip open to you know his hips
or basically straight facing straight ahead his shoulders all the way turned open he drives that
hit that elbow through and then really hit puts that snap on the ball and that's that's what made
him great is that he was able to get so much hip rotation here I mean it really reminds me a lot
of Tom Brady you know looking at this throw right now because of how much he's able to get that hip
turned and then how much that elbow really leads the way okay Tom Brady does a great job of this
as well when he's back here and really stretches out and in his hips and his lower core and then
from there the allows that elbow to come come through and generates a lot of force behind
the throne that that's really a tough thing to do when it comes to throwing the deep ball you
know I think there's a lot of guys out there who are effective as a quarterback with from 30 yards
and under and I think that that's important I mean as a quarterback you have to at least be effective
of 30 yards and under but in order to get to that elite level status you got to be able to throw the
deep ball you got to be able to put some force behind the ball when to get it all down field
and to throw you know throw a ball 40 yards with some power throw a ball you know 60 yards that's
gonna be what really separates you insures you a spot at the next level and I think one of the
key things that you can do in order to implement that to follow what Warren was doing as well as
what Tom Brady's doing is get that elbow through effectively and make it so that then you could
create that snap of the wrist and snap snap of the arm as you're throwing and also be able to work on
that disassociation get those hips to come through first pivot off that back leg push off that back
leg and let those hips start moving and then let the the elbow follow through or elbow come
through first and then hard to snap at the wrist I think those three things are the most commonly
underutilized things as a quarterback I'll say it one more time first one is not pivoting fast
enough on that back leg now getting those hips all the way through second one is not bringing
that elbow through first as you're coming coming through the throw or as you're transitioning from
your loading phase to the release phase and then the last part of it is not getting that
wrist snap not having an effective wrist snap on the football there's a lot of guys that that are
missing missing that and that's something that's developed over time okay that that wrist snap is
something that you get as you start to create more and more velocity in your arm when you're throwing
so as always guys thanks for watching these videos you know we have our whole five-month offseason
program we're doing these breakdowns with people that is available right now you get the e-book
you get access to our online membership you get accesses to our our shoulder strengthening program
and exercise programs specifically developed for quarterbacks the development of strength
in the shoulder development strength in the core development is strength in the lower body all that
as part of that program as well as 10 individual breakdowns we're gonna go over five months every
two weeks you send in another video we give you more information about how to throw the football
better how to maximize your your mechanics if you want to be come a bio mechanically better
quarterback this offseason that is the thing to do is to do that five months officers in
program it's gonna make it so guys can throw way way better have way more velocity but way
more on the ball it's going to be an excellent excellent program so I hope you guys decide to
sign up it's gonna help out a ton as always thanks for watching these videos and we will see you soon
