so from mechanics Monday today we wanted to do a breakdown of Carson Wentz and Jared Goff kind of
give a bit of a comparison of what we like with their mechanics don't like some things that they
could work on personally I like Carson Wentz's mechanics a little bit better than than Jared
Goff will show you why in the video that doesn't necessarily mean that he's going to end up to be
the better quarterback but mechanics was I think he's just a little bit more efficient
just a little bit more smooth with his release and so again I'll tell you why that is and the video
and let's get right to it so here we have his pro day here and we have a couple good shots of
his throw is kind of hard to get good positions here but here we have it from the back the big
thing that Carson Wentz is good and what do we always talk about is getting more hips into the
ball and really creating that disassociation so we want those hips to be able to get in front of
the shoulders and so we could see when Carson gets that those feet down in the ground the first thing
that kind of starts to move around are those hips you could see how well they're starting to turn
open already he does a allows himself to get a little bit overextended here in the low back and
get a little bit more core activation but not bad he's also throwing a little bit more of a
type 2 type of a ball so the release is gonna be a little bit different but you could see how good
those hips are getting involved in the throw here so he's coming around it's really getting them
all the way ahead you can see how much more those hips are facing towards us in their shoulders the
shoulders are still kind of close wide his hips are all the way opened up and really generating
most of four so he's Miz's so he stays up much straighter when he throws so you can see how well
he's balanced within his q Wells or those trunk stabilizers when he finishes in comparison to
golf when you will watch him and see how he ends up kind of falling off to the side so there's one
from kind of a side view let's take a look from or the front and what I like about this one too
is it's a deep ball you don't get to see how the actual ball goes but we can see that he really
has to put more in to it and instead of really having to extend over to the side what he does is
he gets much more of those hips involved which is exactly what we want and he's able to still keep
that trunk nice and stable and really lets it go there and really generates most the force from the
hip and gets good rotation still in the spine so you can see how much more of its a rotation rather
than getting bent over and that's something that we're always trying to preach within quarterbacks
is being able to keep yourself much more straight up and that's fun rather than leaning over to one
side which then makes it so it's harder to stay accurate so we got one more here this one's
from the back and it really shows you how well he's able to get his glutes involved so when he
goes and gets set everything is straight right he doesn't open up that hip too early he has
everything still facing right towards where is it gonna throw but once he starts to transition it's
those hips that go first instead of the trunk or instead of the arm which is excellent and again
very good posture he's coming through look at how good that posture is look how extended he
is in his back going right over it with the arm that is just very very good good rotation - and
the spine really excellent mechanics there okay now here we want to just look at Jared Goff so
the difference here with really Carson Wentz and Jared Goff is the stability that is within the
spine what we're seeing with Jared is much more of leaning over to the side and he also has a bit
of an arch in the back unfortunately this video isn't as good as the ones with Carson but you
can still see what it is that we're talking about here so those and steps everything looks very good
they're actually almost looks better just because you could see how Jared does a little bit better
job of cocking with his shoulder so it's hips start out in front which is excellent they're
something that helps you just develop a little bit more torque in those obliques but then as
he's transitioning through you can see right here is when he loses that spine stabilization so he's
a little bit more hunched back we saw it a little bit with once too but we can see better here with
Jared how that ends up affecting his throw where when he starts coming through you can see how he
starts laying leaning over to the side butts are usually very much of a neck dominance it could
also be left QL it's really driving this throw here and it just makes it so you have a tendency
to be a little bit more act and accurate I see right there you can see how really leaned over
to the side he is outside the foot and so he has to throw much more with his arm and with
the QL rather than developing that torque within is within his glutes and you can see - when he
finishes he ends up with those hips even though he started out with them in front now you can
see right there shoulders are already in front of the hips and they continue to lead the hips there
and so his hips he doesn't get his hips through after he throws but they're not a very big part
of the throw just because of how late they are and the motion so here when you go to the left
side we can see this is the other side I just see a little bit more at the extension in the back so
he loads good again good loading way to get the hips in front then when he comes through right
there you could see how much of that extension he has in the back and again Carson Wentz had
this too but he was able to recover and get the hips through well but Jared kind of struggles
getting through that and ends up really leaning to the side you could see how much he's using
that QL and how much further those shoulders are along than the hips you know the balls already
released so the shoulders are almost running at that angle right there while the hips are still
behind so he's mostly using all arm which you know much harder to do in the NFL there's not very many
guys that can successfully use all arm and go for a whole season or and be efficient and accurate
for a whole season so that's the quarterback breakdown again I don't want to make it seem
like I'm saying that Carson ones gonna end up to be the better quarterback I just think that he has
a little bit better mechanics a little bit more efficient in this situation what I would do is
work a little bit more on golf score first and make it so he has some stability there and then
after that gain glutimax activation to help with that that lean and I think it would just make it
so he's a much more efficient and then again with Carson we just make it so we can get a little bit
more lower core activation lower ab activation TVA and then maybe even some activation within
the low back those low spinal erectors you might just be overusing those the mid spinal erectors
and not getting full activation there's a low lumbar erector so a little bit of a comparison
from one side of the other but overall I really think that once has a very very
smooth and efficient release so I'll go with him in terms of better technique thanks for watching
