hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have a brand new breakdown for today it's going
to be on justin herbert one of the best rookie quarterbacks in the nfl last year and you know
where they i did a breakdown on him in the past i did one when he was in college and also one with
his combine and both of them i don't think he really did him justice in really showing what
he does great as a quarterback so i thought today i'd really go into his mechanics here so as always
if you like the information go ahead and click the thumbs up down below subscribe the channel if you
haven't already and if you have any questions or comments or anything like that go ahead and leave
those down below we'll hop in the video right now all right so first one here he has plenty of
overall space and i was thinking about going and doing the um you know just kind of looking at his
release first just because i think that's always something that we like to see so he's at 73 67
when he's when the ball is coming out right here when he starts and then it's out by one seven four
goes up to one before so um pretty quick there point three three in terms of how fast he is
getting the ball out of his hands he's not necessarily trying to put a lot on this ball
still gets it out pretty early i'm always talking about this a lot more with quarterbacks is being
able to get that ball all the way out in front of you in order to really make sure that you're able
to get plenty of wrist flick i think that is a big problem with quarterbacks is that they don't get
the football out from them enough which impacts how well they can actually impact the ball as it's
coming out of their hands or how much of a flick they're able to have on the ball when it comes out
their hands another big thing with justin herbert is you know he's similar to jay cutler in that
front arm where you can see he really allows that front arm to get out in front and then he
pulls that thing hard to really help him get that momentum coming all the way through and it is able
to get a lot of extension through the throw and you know that you know use utilizing his arm his
front arm to really pull that elbow through and his spine through uh to make sure that he's able
to get a lot more on the throw and it's something that you know obviously i'm not comparing him
to jay cutler from a performance perspective but with how he generates force with his body it's a
very very similar type of action that he's doing he's not getting as much rotation at the hips we
see like guys like tom brady or patrick mahomes who really get a lot of emphasis in rotation of
the hips you can tell that he gets extension out of that back leg so he definitely uses
the back leg in order to get his momentum going but he doesn't utilize that as a primary force
of rotation he actually utilizes that front arm of being able to create rotation within the front arm
to be able to get his hips around and his upper body around and that i think really helps when
being able to generate a lot of force in in the throat it seems like that's like one of the key
things that was an absolute beautiful throw right there i mean he had pressure in his face
and was still able to put that right on the money um we'll go here this one you can see he does
end up get a little bit more rotation to kind of start off right pushes off that back leg hard
gets that rotation gets those hips going but again you know has a lot of spine rotation has a lot of
ability to move through that part of his body and i think that's super important for quarterbacks
to understand is being able to really maximize how well they can use their obliques how well
they can use their lats how much how well they can use some of those muscles that have a huge
impact on rotational movement and being able to throw further because if you don't have that
ability to really open up within that front hip and within your spine that really impacts how well
you can throw the ball let this one go a little bit more full speed it doesn't get too big of a
stride right but he's just really stable on that that front ankle that front side that was another
good ball this one is an interesting one and this is something that you know i think is super
important for quarterback to understand as well and something that i've been you know kind of in a
crossroads with myself just because i think that you know at the end of the day you know we can
get so caught up in all the different parts of the the throwing mechanics and making sure
that everything is as perfect as you possibly can and i do think there is some justification for
that to be able to really maximize how well you're able to develop the shoulder and develop the arm
strength because there's a part of it where you know you have to be able to throw the right way
in order to you know build up the the ligaments and the tendons and the muscles to be able to
you know continue to build arm strength whether that is in the shoulder whether it's in the core
whether it's in the lower body so it's important but then there's a lot of times where it's like
you know there you just have to be able to throw on time you know so we look at this full view
keenan allen did a great job of getting separation here you know obviously they're bringing everybody
they only got three guys back here to cover okay and you know keane allen gets open and he knows
that he doesn't have very much time to get rid of the ball so now he totally steps off to the side
here and goes back to what we were talking about before where he just reaches really far out with
that front arm and by reaching really far out with that front arm is then able to create the rotation
needed to be able to get the ball you know out of his hands at the right time and you know
still puts the ball right on the guys you know this is why he's an nfl quarterback guys right
he's able to throw the ball 25 yards basically all arm puts the ball on the line and hits the
guy right in the face mask right so you have to be able to that that goes into wrist flight that goes
into positioning of the the shoulder look at that external rotation that gets in the arm right as is
coming through we talking about extra rotation we talk about being able to get the ball out in front
of you before you release it right here it's still in his hand then he releases he flicks the ball
with a lot of force behind it and those are the key things to make it so you're able to generate
the force just purely out of the arm if you don't use the arm correctly then the whatever you do in
the rest of the body whatever you do in your your front leg all that stuff doesn't matter at the end
of the day you have to have a strong arm you have to have a strong wrist flick you have to be able
to you know just muster up some of these throws and then there's going to be times you're going
to be able to put your full body into it but there's also going to be times especially the
higher levels that you go you're going to have to just be able to make a play and you know i think
this is an excellent example of not always needing the best mechanics but still going to some of the
key fundamentals to be able to make it so you're able to still execute on a play score a touchdown
when you know your team needs it really badly here late in the game um in order to stay in the game
all right so as always guys thanks for watching these videos if you have any questions you can
leave those down below in the comment section and i highly recommend you guys check the description
