Hey, what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're gonna be doing a updated video of Josh
Allen store mechanics when I started the video right now
alright, so we haven't done a Josh Allen video for a while here, and I've got a couple recommendations
to be able to actually get a new updated video of him.
So we'll go ahead and do just that this is going to be some actual game footage before
it was like you have game footage, but when he when he was in college, and then I had
this Pro Day, so now we'll get some actual NFL footage here.
And we're going to start out this was actually I think, a couple years ago, but we're gonna
start off with one of his better throws, I think, you know, in his whole career, which
is just this side pocket throw, we'll just go through the actual play here real quick,
where he just puts that ball right on the money right there, which was just like an
absolute crazy throw, probably about 35 yards downfield.
And you know, what was basically had the same trajectory, the entire throat.
So we're quick, let's go into some of the basics that really stand out.
And you know, he's a unique guy in being able to have the height than he does.
And because he has the height that he does, he could stay a little bit more in that bent
knee position, even.
So what's important to notice is look at his balance right when I when looking at this
actual form.
And where he is, what stands out to me is where he's just like, totally balanced with
the ground, right.
And I think that that's a super important thing to really consider is when you're trying
to put a lot on the ball, whether it's velocity or throwing power, you got to come from a
position of balance in order to really utilize your entire back leg in order to make this
throw with any type of velocity, right.
So he's really balancer, another thing that stands out is look at how quick he gets that
front foot down, right.
And this allows him to have plenty of time to be able to shift all of his weight from
that back leg onto the front leg.
So I see a lot of guys that will go and they'll have that front foot off off the ground for
a good amount of time.
And when that happens, what happens is when that front foot touches the ground, there's
already already so much weight shifted on to you know, that front leg, and obviously
he has a little bit wider base as more bent knees are could still be pretty tall, because
he's you know, naturally such a tall guy.
So not everybody is going to be able to do that.
But you could still have success, and being able to come from a balanced position and
being able to get your front foot down quickly and keeping your weight back right, he has
longer legs.
So even though he starts shifting his weight forward pretty early, he still has about 5050
Here, when the foot touches that front foot touches the ground, right, so we can really
work on if you're maybe six one or or, you know, shorter, you do not want to have as
wide of a base and just make it so you can get that front foot down and keep more weight
onto the back leg.
And it's still shift all of your weight forward after you do that.
So we can see that he is shifting his weight forward from there.
And also notice where it's coming from that ball carriage right, we get a lot of people
that talk about how you know, oh, yeah, the ball needs to be up by the chest and blah,
blah, blah, it doesn't seem to be 100% necessity, he is pretty low with the ball here.
I'm just saying saying that I think probably probably because I'm a little bit biased,
because I do the same thing with my, you know, ball carrier.
But point being is, you know, not everybody's gonna come from the chest, he's a little bit
lower here from when he starts.
And that just helps him in seeking out his ability to drive that elbow through and get
all of his weight on that front leg.
So notice he's just pushing a ton off that back leg, he has great range of motion through
the lower back through the hip flexors, right that the front part of the hip here.
And that allows him to great a lot of extension in the lower back as well as get a lot of
ability to open up within that that hip.
And that allows him to create a lot of rotation as is coming to the throwing also creates
a lot of disassociation.
So he gets a lot of hip rotation right here where that hip is totally turned around, and
he still has that shoulder pretty far back behind.
And more importantly, the ball really far back behind, not the head, but back behind
the elbow.
Right, notice the difference there.
And then he drives that ball through from that position very stable on that front leg,
we'll get the behind angle as well.
And the more that I'm doing this guys, it's like I feel like we could do like an easy,
our two hour tutorial on all different parts of going into the throw.
So I'll try to limit it down so it doesn't get you know, you don't end up being too bored
of the whole thing.
But you know, we do want to make it so you can get a good understanding of what you could
do in order to really maximize your, your overall mechanics here.
So again, notice you're pushing off that back leg, getting a ton of rotation off of that
the hip, having a ton of ability to absorb through that front leg as he's pushing all
that weight off that back hip, and then just has a great ability to maintain a upper position
within the spine.
And even though those hips are coming all the way through still has that ball pretty
far back behind them as he's releasing and then he just really flipped So notice, he
doesn't get that elbow up, right, I see a lot of guys that after they release the ball
here, their elbow gets gets high.
And you know, so as they're coming through, they almost end up in more like this position,
right, notice how when he goes through bow, he swings that arm all the way through and
continues through the throat, right, that front arm is in a good position, and he's able to really control his body and his arm as he's continuing his motion.
So this is going to be a great example of just making a play, right, like so the last
video was more if you have a perfect pocket a perfect situation, you got to be able to
drive in a ball.
And how you could do that in a game situation, right, there's not a very many times that
that opportunity is going to present itself, it's going to be much more these types of
situations where you know, he's got to be able to kind of escape out to the side gets
those hips turned around, right, and, you know, just puts the ball out there.
Now, you know, notice that he's here flips those hips quickly, and then gets a little
bit more of like a front arm extension and pulls back harder with that front arm.
So now he's in a position where he's not able to generate as much off that back leg, right
because of how his body was set up beforehand.
So now, instead of utilizing as much as back, lay, still uses his back leg, you know, it's
not like he doesn't utilize it at all.
But as much back like here, he really uses a little bit more about frontside mechanics
to really drive through that, and then arm to really drive through here.
And we see this a lot with Herbert as well, where he gets that front arm way out in front
and really drives that firm back.
And that's a great way to be able to generate force as well, right, you're not always going
to be able to throw the ball perfectly every single time with perfect mechanics, you do
want to have, you know, the ability to flip the hips and make a throw, you do want to
be able to throw on the run, you do want to be able to draw off of the different types
of hitches and that's why I have so many different types of videos that go into those different
types of mechanics as well, because I see so many guys that just focus on, you know,
a regular step and throw or, you know, just throwing one on one to a, you know, receiver
and you know, just don't have clean footwork when doing that.
So you know, taking a bunch of hitch steps, throwing really close to the line of scrimmage,
just doing things that are just not really realistic.
The start of the play here, you know, was from the, what was it here is where they started
to play.
Right.
And so you can see that he's, you know, just from the beginning, it's gonna, we can't really
see the whole thing here.
But just from the beginning, he's already what seven yards behind, and then he has to
go and scramble.
So now he's eight, nine yards behind the line of scrimmage, right.
Again, I see guys all the time doing, you know, one on ones, or you know, even seven
on seven.
And they're throwing from one two yards behind the line of scrimmage.
And it's just not a realistic look that you're giving yourself.
You know, he's eight yards eight and his back foots nine yards behind the line of scrimmage
here as he begins to, you know, chuck this ball.
So just giving you guys a better understanding of what it's gonna take to really continue
to build up your game here.
And all those small details matter, right, because now you can actually get yourself
more prepared for game situations.
So he's, you know, made this row, I'm sure plenty of times had to go out and roll out
to the left, turn the hips and be able to throw, right and so just being able to add
to your repertoire.
Now you know, you do want to be good at the three step, drop the five step, drop the five
and hitch all those types of things too.
And I would say you want to make sure that you did those before you could do this type
of stuff.
But you know as you start to get better and and can you know work on the three step drop
in the five cent drop and get that that more consistent.
Now these types of throws into being something you've worked on in order to really work or
ensure that you have a game that has all the necessary components in it to be able to be
successful when you play your games.
Alright, this is great throw obviously not everybody could do this.
They thing that just stood out is that he just goes and gives us a receiver an opportunity
right before halftime here.
Now this is another great play another great opportunity to be able to learn from you know,
one of the best to do it.
Again, this is where the line of scrimmage is 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage and
11 yards behind line scrimmage.
Anyway, point being is that he you know really takes a big drop X he gets funny face and
it's first and 15 they ended up only blitzing, you know, four guys, and they have plenty
of guys to be able to protect and Chip both ends.
Right?
So he knows he has plenty of time back here.
Right?
This is not something that we're going to get all the time when we get just plenty of
protection and we're able to sit back and make a throw.
But when we do we want to be able to take advantage of that opportunity.
Right and I know that this has caught plenty of us off guard right all of a sudden Do you
think that there's gonna be some type of blitz there's a lot of people in the box and then
all of a sudden there's basically no pressure at all and you have to be able to still decipher
what's going on.
So this is basically a prevent look, this is a cover for like you can see, you know,
these guys are both in the flats.
nobody even cares about those guys, right?
They're nervous.
Everybody's bad. and he's still gonna attack this, right?
So a lot of guys would go and look at this and be like, Oh yeah, these guys are open,
we should hit this, right, but he has the ability to see downfield and see that this
guy falls over, right again, how many times we've seen on film, oh shoot, this guy was
wide open, I wish I would have made that play, oh shoot, this guy fell over and made this
guy, you know, open, there's tons of opportunities that we miss, because we're not looking downfield
not having the anticipation needed to be able to have success when it comes to, you know,
playing in these big games.
And this, you know, as much as Josh Allen has a strong arm, it has a lot of capabilities.
From a athletic standpoint, this is why he's able to play on Sundays, because he understands
how to read the defense and how to make the play, right?
There's everybody can do this.
But not everybody does do this.
And the reason why is because they see, boom, this guy's open, throw the underneath, throw,
right?
Get five yards, seven yards, whatever, you're not going to be upset about that person and
15 turns to Second and eight, right, you're continuing to move the change or continue
to to be just like every other quarterback, right?
There's a reason why he was a first round draft pick.
And why he is you know, really one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and in the AFC
East because he can make these type of plays, right?
This is something that not everybody can do.
But you want to be able to see this and be like, Okay, this is something I can learn
from and be able to recognize that I can work on being able to find an exposed defenses
when I have the opportunity, right?
Yes, he has good mechanics, he pushes off that back way he drives off of that that back
foot and is able to shift all of his weight forward and is able to throw a great accurate
throw here, right, looking at where that front arm position is, right, we want to be consistent.
This is why having consistent mechanics is important.
Because when you have this opportunity where you can step into your throat and have the
opportunity to have great mechanics here, we got to be able to put this ball right on
the money when we have these opportunities, right, these got to be touchdowns, we can't
win, we have wide open guy missed those throws.
Okay, all these small details again, matter when it comes to taking your game to the next
level.
So whether you're a high school guy trying to be a college guy, or even a JV guy trying
to be a high school starter, right, a varsity starter, you know, a college guy looking to
go to the NFL or going to professionally, all these things end up making a big difference
in making sure that you're able to make that jump from where you are now to where it is
that you want to go.
So I hope being able to look at this gives you guys a little bit more perspective and
just helps you out in being a better overall quarterback.
If you'd like to get some more help check out the description down below, we have a
ton of different options for you, we have a couple free options with our seven day free
trial, as well as our free quarterback ebook.
And then we also have the best thing that we have is a thorough breakdown for weeks,
you're going to get unlimited breakdowns for a month, you're gonna see huge improvements
within the throw.
It's the thing that I recommend for everybody, even right now I do individual zoom session
with guys, you know, I'm just so committed to helping you guys and improving as quarterbacks
and I appreciate everybody that ends up going and either joining the program, or you know,
doing the throw breakdowns or doing the custom programming, you know, the big thing about
me is I'm going to make sure that if you join one of these programs, you're going to get
a ton out of it.
I'm hugely committed to you guys when you go and show that support for what it is that
