what's up guys been asked a few times to do a Marcus Mariota breakdown so today I wouldn't
and another thing I was asked to do a throw on the run and I think that doing one on Marcus
Mariota would be a would be a good idea so we'll get right on into the breakdown here so when one
of the key things were you want to work on when you're throwing on the run is that you're running
towards your target okay so you can keyed it as Marcus comes around here is the play-action fake
he is getting around the the hoop and starting to run back towards the target to make it so
then he can get as much of his weight going forward or out where he's trying to throw a
knee when he jumps I know what kind of seeing this from the side but he's jumping kind of
an angle going off to the side and it's better than at least throwing off to side here I see
a lot of times when quarterbacks want to throw end up throwing and kind of tailing off to the
side and really you should be throwing and coming right towards the target right here you know when
there's a timing thing as well so if you can't get around all the way in time and sometimes you
have to get rid of it before you really want to but at least he's moving somewhat forward which
is a good thing to do another thing is if you're right-handed throwing a quarterback you want to
be throwing off of your right foot so you clearly stepping down with his right foot and he's coming
through from there that's an important part and I think most people know that we want to be able to
do that and then also you really want to do a good job loading with this again I think this
is a timing thing with Marcus and unfortunately in the videos this is where the test on the run
throw we could find so you can turn find one where you keep it really well and also can get
a great angle but key you want to get those those hips and those shoulders around to really be able
to load the throw and then throw from there you see you kind of and he has a tendency to do this
within its actual throw already opens up those hips a little bit early but here you Stephanie
open up those hips a little bit early but what he does very very well this is an important thing to
think about especially from a picture standpoint I always talk to kids about make sure you getting
vertical within your throw he does a great job when he's when he's coming up up and through
here is getting vertical pushing off that front leg and generating a lot of torque from there
and not to make that throw such a good throw okay and you can see very very accurate as he end up
going through it so that one next one is a deep ball then you get it from the other angle here
so the part where Marcus is very very goodness is kind of similar to take Cam Newton is getting
those hips through very early he does a great job being accurate so you can see how he gets down and
starts getting those hips going as soon as he can and then he's big and rotating within that that
upper spine so look at how much torque he creates within that left shoulder and spine as he's coming
through and that's where and then he's also you know this is an important part we always try to
talk about it that left hip is very very single he's not rotating much in or not moving much in
that bat hit at least not falling out to the side he just kind of rotating around the left hip and
it's just holding in all of the the wait for me to tell you've got a lot of range motion within that
femur that hip joining these transferring all his weight off that back leg pressing forward
hard there on the vertical throw too you could see how you starts from the athletic position starts
rising up and rotating all the way around very good throw he comes a little bit too far to the
side so you could do a better job with getting that elbow right through but he gets the ball
going behind his head so he becomes a big elbow roller you can work a little bit on that getting
that nose the foot ball facing forward a little bit more I think that would help him out a lot
but he's already accurate he has a lot of really good to his loved one so it's hard to critique
too much of what his current success is and here's the last throw we can see here is he does a good
job pushing off that back right and you need to really tell it what he does he loads down
as he's beginning to throw and then he's going to push up and get his see from that upward vertical
force and the leg in order to really generally get throwing that she's also going to use that
left shoulder to get all the way around so you're bringing a lot through his T spine probably very
strong with those obliques and really the oblique system that I try a lot to build on both of my
speed and a throwing perspective and I bet you eat there one of the reasons why he's as fast as
he is is because he had such strong obliques as well so I think that's another important thing
to think about as an athlete is you really want to be developing those obliques of young agents
or understanding how to use muscles within the mid spine and within the ribcage in order to
generate force both overhead and also as you're trying to run so you can see you know get that
vertical force especially you know your pictures out there you really want to get a vertical press
off that Mound margins good job doing that and then also get full rotation within that upper
body unite and say when that left leg can really really help you out let me know if you have any
questions about the video or if you have any other uploads you'd like to see you know that I can go
throwing on the run tubs there's some cool stuff there and then yeah also check out our membership
we've got a cool membership didn't be gives you more information about both how to run faster
also how to throw better go from a pitching and a quarterback perspective also got more videos on
youtube and a lot more to come we usually post them every Wednesday and Saturday we'll post a
new breakdown video so stay tuned and we'll have some new stuff coming to you shortly Oh
