hey what's up everyone going to do a breakdown here today of Jay Cutler you had a request to
disease breakdowns that is a great idea I do think that he has really a strong arm always
has had one of the stronger arms in the league and it's very just a naturally talented thrower and
so I thought I would go over and show you guys what would makes him have the the arm strength
indeed he does and when going through his his highlights here found a throw that just shows
him with an absolutely rocket of a throw here and so why not go in and break this down and see what
what makes his ability to create this how to throw one thing that is undoubtable within you
know all these guys that they build the roads I mean they have strong rotator cuffs whether you
know they started going when they're younger they have just overall good genetics whatever the case
may be you've got to have a strong shoulder so that's one thing that we definitely try
training and it's all parts of the shoulder so you need to know how to train the shoulder how
to make it all strong and how to incorporate the the strengthens in the shoulder with the power
in the rest of the body so you know you have to be able to rotate well in the spine you have to
be able to use your obliques well you have to be able to be effective within if for a leg all
that stuff is very very important so one thing that stands out Jay colors he undoubtedly has a
very strong shoulder a very strong arm another big thing that he does is he uses a lot of his
left arm as opt arm when he goes through the throw that's something they does really kind
of extend that left arm straight out and then he brings a back he has kind of that picture
type of style there where he's really driving that that elbow back and that's a good cue that
we used a lot with really trying to drive that left arm through in order to propel the right
arm forward as a thrower okay one of the things I think you can improve on would definitely be is
the flexibility within it's fine you know we see this a lot where you go into that hyperextension
in the back and it's kind of from that that elbow drop to see he goes and he loads the ball up and
then AZ brings yellow through he drops a little bit there may end up causing some some type of
elbow pain you know I doesn't look a lot into his injuries going through the pros and before that
but I'm sure he had some arm soreness and elbow elbow soreness just because of how that that arm
kind of drops there and could probably get that bad the more rotation within the ball earlier to
make it so the release to be able to faster but you know those are all small particular
things one thing that stands out here is that when he's coming around he does a great job of
really being loaded in this and the back part of the hip there so you know he has that good bent
knee and that makes it so that femur sits further into the socket and then from there he creates a
lot of rotation and creates a lot of force really more so from his chest and his upper body when he
creates his throat so he's very much upper body dominant but you know he's able to make this this
later over throw wood a little bit behind the 15 and that's it on absolutely you know rock
it down down the field I know this was a couple years ago - right and Markham laid the catch but
yeah a great throw there something that you know I think Jay Cutler definitely could have done
better on was you know or wish he could have you know ended up - to develop his his town a little
bit more than been a you know top tier quarterback but either way he still has great great arm talent
and you could see his ability to really he has great rotation within the spine just doesn't have
as much mobility within flexion extension not you know there could be some some give-and-take there
where you know you don't have as much mobility within your flexion and extension of the spine
because of how much mobility has within rotation really wasn't that mid back so the reason he uses
so much of that arm that left arm Aliso is because he has a great ability to rotate within is what's
called thoracic spine just doesn't have as much core strength there and also gets that ball kind
of stuck behind them a little bit which gets them into that hyperextension whenever you have a back
pain or anything like that it's because that ball is getting stuck a little bit - I'm too far behind
your head and getting stuck into a little bit too much external rotation you could also end
up having pain within like the front part of your shoulder biceps you have that problem going on as
well so that's definitely something that you can can work on to try to improve he also does a good
job of getting his hips through early so he kind of has that that Cam Newton type of thing where
he goes and rotates and hips early gets those in front of them and then from there really drives
through with that arm I think that's a good thing to do it makes a lot of sense to to get those
hips forwards and use your obliques to bring the rest of your body through from there so then I'm
going to do one last one here just because it's a close-up I would say the problem with this one
is he kind of drops the ball a little bit but we could really see how he uses that left arm
did really drive drive the ball through I think that's a big thing to take from Jay Cutler's
throw because we've already seen guys that get those tips through a little bit earlier and get
those the weight going a little bit faster but not as many guys that use that left kind
of straight arm and then create a large amount of rotation within the spine by really driving that
through it I think that's a good thing daddy'd to really make it so you get a faster movement
within the throwing on the right arm as you're coming through the throw so yeah I think it's a
great takeaway I think what Jay Cutler does is you know he has again great arm talent and the
things you could definitely take some something away from you know his tool chest and apply to
your so let me know if you have any questions my my email is morey@yourperformancelab.com we could
do a breakdown for you online we could also go and you know we have online membership we have
great support on Instagram and Facebook and we have Twitter everything like that our online
membership goes into detail about what are the problem we can't seem to throw what we have some
exercises we also going to speed as well and then we are throw break down to something where we will
break down your throat similar to what we're doing with Jay Cutler here and then we give
exercises and specifics for what you can work on in order to improve your mechanics so check all
that stuff out if you want just go ahead and yeah and send me an email morey@yourperformancelab.com
thanks again for another video we will have another one up on Saturday right
