what's up everyone Morey Croson here from the performance lab of California I hope you liked
our new look everything that we got going on knew going into the end of 2013 and then back
into 2019 starting off the year and and the redoing the breakdowns with Tom Brady really
going into some of the big things that make Tom Brady Tom Brady and why Tom Brady is on a whole
another level then you know most of the guys that are watching the video which I'm assuming
our quarterbacks and because I think this is important because it goes into what are some
overlooked parts of what Tom Brady does that I think is something that should definitely be
addressed more and his ability to you know become be one of the most dominant quarterbacks in the
league and really what that's going into is his release time and his ability to make decisions
and get that the ball out of his hands very very quickly and additionally the great efficiency
that he has in the actual throw so let's first go through and watch when he gets to the top of
his drop and just kind of watch how that throw looks I'm gonna rewind it again alright so I'm
seeing that we'll go into is some of the things that he does very very well first thing that I
want to say is you could see as soon as he gets to the top of the drop he's able to hit you know
as soon as the the his feet get setting and then julietam he goes and breaks out you can see he can
get that ball right of his hand and really how great of a job he does at being able to Julian
Elements turning here he's getting rid of the ball and he's able to still get the ball to him
even though he's starting his break right at the top of the numbers when he's starting to throw he
could still get the ball to him before he gets about I mean to the sideline gets halfway to
the sideline so he has a lot of room to work with still even though he throw them through the ball
really late and a lot of times that has to be the reason why is because of how quick his delivery
was and again how efficient he is so look you see how good is overall basis transition is with legs
underneath them as soon as he does he goes in and rotates notice how he gets that back foot going
and pivoting and getting the hips to rotate first and then from there initiating that rotation with
the hips now he pulls that front shoulder down and through and really has almost no wasted motion and
will see better from the other angle but he has almost no wasted motion and the actual arm this
is something that is huge when we do break downs we talked to some of the quarterbacks that you
know send in their videos to us as we've talked a lot about the release and maintenance of the
release is a lot more efficient you could get the ball out of your hands quicker and notice
how he goes and as soon as he gets that elbow and arm back he's going and bringing that elbow right
back and through look at how fast he's able to go elbow back and elbow right back and through
it and being able to do that very quickly but still generate a lot of force and how he's
generating forces look at how quick he goes and he pivots off that back leg gets those hips to
open up and now that he's getting those hips to open up now he could really pull hard down with
that front shoulder and create a lot of momentum and rotation in the middle part of his spine and
that's really what is such a unique thing that he can do as a quarterback and I say unique just
because compared to so many more people that I see and their videos and their breakdowns it's
a huge difference it's a huge difference in what they're they're doing we'll go here what's great
about this one is watch how quickly he's able to get the ball out of his hands again once he
decides he wants to release the ball he's here boom he decides okay and when you get rid of the
ball boom I'm going in and I'm able to get rid of it so you can see he's looking he's looking
he's looking oh I'm getting the red ball here just one tap tap that he does a little tap the ball put
the feet down and look at how quickly he just twists his feet look at so watch here boom boom
so he's here makes the decision look how it turns his feet so first he gets that front foot to turn
open pivots that back leg then he goes and really pulls down that that front arm and again look at
how fast so as he starts to bring that elbow forward he's also twisting the hand and this
is something that we tried talked a lot about with quarterbacks is when your elbow is coming
forward look at how he he twists his hand right away so I guess that that nose of the football
pointing back towards the target so quickly see right there that's what makes it so he can get
the ball out of his hand so quickly a lot of times what happens is as the ball as the elbows
went back and you start bringing the ball back the ball ends up pointing more that way kind of
up and back but notice how he does a good job of just circling it right around and not having any
wasted motion right because of that now he can get the ball out of his hands very quickly he
had to end up throwing it a little bit low but the point being is able to get the ball out of
here his hands really quick and just maintain overall effectiveness as a quarterback I'll
go one last one here again very very fascinated does that range and then another big thing that
I think is important is notice is when you he's stepping how he tries to get that what's called
hip and shoulder disassociation and what that is is it's the hip going that way and the shoulders
going that way disassociation so going opposite directions this helps load the core makes it so
the core or the the length from the right children left hip improve so he's here he goes and he steps
and look at how was he stepping how that left hip goes this way and then his right shoulder
and upper part of his body are going the opposite way there's that disassociation there so now he's
really loading really getting power and he's doing that so quickly going back getting that power and
then letting go of the ball immediately I'll show it in fast motion see how quick that is again this
is this is what makes Tom Brady Tom Brady and this is what makes really NFL quarterbacks NFL
quarterbacks their ability to be able to make the decision of where they're going and get the ball
out of their hands right away I think it's a very underestimated achievement that you have to have
as a quarterback you got to get the ball out your hands faster I'd say 90% of quarterbacks that we
see with the breakdowns you got to get the ball out of your hands quicker and what this video is
supposed to do is give you kind of that formula of how you do that get that front hip going load that
core and then from there as soon as you're getting that elbow back and hit and ball back you got to
come up and over the top of that elbow notice how there's no dip ever in that elbow it's just
coming right up over the top coming right through and he's able to release the ball out in front of
them keeping that elbow coming all the way through down as well don't let that elbows stay up there's
some guys that as they're coming through their elbow kind of flicks up you want to bring that
whole arm down and use that serratus and lat muscle in order to pull down so that's gonna be
you know I know there's a lot of information in there and there might be some things that are a
little bit too technical but that's fine we got to get an understanding of first what does it
look like and once you can see it then you have a better idea of how you can replicate it all right
and and the big thing that you can replicate and you can take away from Tom Brady is being able to
get fast release I know you know Aaron Rodgers has a fast release and that's something everybody you
know kind of epitomizes or you know really holds as like a standard that everybody should should
accomplish but really all these NFL quarterbacks have fast releases and you got to be able to to
match that and get the ball out out of your hands quicker all right let me know if you guys have
any questions and hope to talk to you soon so much for watching this video I hope you really enjoyed
it if you did you can subscribe down below that way you can get updates on any of the new that
we get also if you want you can check out some of our other breakdowns for speed and throwing you
have exercises also jumping mechanics videos a lot of great stuff within our Channel hope you enjoy
