what's up everyone morey croson here from the performance lab of California and we have another
breakdown for you today on Graham Mertz he is the quarterback that in the All American Bowl threw
for five touchdowns is committed to Wisconsin and yeah I mean the big reason he's getting this
breakdown is because he scored five touchdowns all-american boy I mean that is just unbelievable
in such a high prestigious game being able to absolutely go off is definitely a testament to
having some degree of skill and you know looking that his mechanics he has some very very good
very very sound mechanics and I think he's gonna definitely have some success at the next level so
we'll go ahead and get right into it here so you know the thing that that he does very very well
is he doesn't waste very much time with his elbow so he goes back and he gets to that first ninety
ninety look at how how great of a initial load that is guys look at how well he gets right in
that nineteen ninety look at the position the ball good strong wrist and then from there transitions
with that elbow coming up and through and doesn't let the ball stand too far back behind the head
now he doesn't really spend too much time going in and transitioning to that like l:l position
you know cuz or the the double-l right I think he does a good job of getting to that first down the
point of this video is to kind of explain a little bit more into the two different else so you know
right here this would be considered one of the LS and then the other one would be as he comes
up and through but notice how before he starts to get that to that second L he starts driving
that elbow forward and I think that's crucial because what happens is when you end up getting
to that that perfectly straight Double L then bring the elbow through the other stole momentum
coming upwards from the ball so when you start to bring that elbow through the wrists and the
hands still end up going back behind you which I think ends up causing a problem long term for
the quarterback so that's an important thing to understand what that whole Double L thing is that
you know it's it's good it's not like it's not good it's just that uh you know can't be better
you know there's there's a you're definitely gonna be kind of lifting that ball and you want to keep
the ball at about a ninety degree or the elbow at about a ninety degree angle but that doesn't
mean that you don't want to become come forward at all with that elbow first so we'll go ahead
and take another look here again really good job of loading I do want to say also with that front
leg I've seen there's a lot more lately notice how he's loading back with that hip I'm gonna
make a video about this this weekend where it's all about you know loading that that front hip
and seeing how that front hip ends up loading and then also notice how he has this this step
here where he's keeping his knee back and he drives that that front foot out and then from
there starts to transition his weight so now when he lands this is about where he's landing
he still has a lot more room to go in his hips as well as a lot more to go forward to make it
so his knee it's over his toes a lot of times when guys first land their knee and their and
their feet are already even which impacts how much overall weight they can start transferring
for but see for him when he's landing he still has more weight back because of how he initially
loaded with the hip so now as he comes forward he still has plenty of movement to go through
the rotation driving up through that elbow and then notice how he finishes all the way down
and across getting his whole body through I know that that seems like a concept that that would be
very very simple but not very many guys can do that super effectively here's the last one here
again now this is just going straight straight to on the road to the left side notice that initial
load that ball position now when he steps he's are gonna be stepping a little bit further out
to the left again give him some himself some better overall moon within the hip so in order
to allow this to work out well he's got to drive very far forward with that that front or sorry
with that back leg he's going to drive that that back leg right through a lot of times when it's
a bad thing these guys will bring this they're turning to the left they'll bring that that back
leg off to the side which means it so you have a better chance of having an ankle be passing and
not being able to put the ball on target but you could see does a good job of following through
and really driving off that back light to make sure that all of his momentum is going towards
the target even though he took a step that's a little bit from the target so no this is step here
shoot so even though you took that step off to the side right so the the target here even though
he is the person who's throwing to here but he drives that leg forward here to make it so it
strains himself back out all right so it's always guys thanks for watching these videos I hope this
helps them I would love to get some questions about the whole you know Double L thing I know
that's a question that a lot of people has have because there's a lot of different information out
there about it so would be happy to have answer any questions regarding that there's always check
going and check out our our online throat program I would still love to get more people involved in
that if there's anybody looking to be able to get more information about how they can throw better
as a quarterback or have anything going on within their shoulder elbow again we definitely want to
be able to provide more value in in there and then last thing is going and check out our Instagram
