hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be breaking down arch
manning story mechanics at the clemson camp and we're going to start the video right now
all right so this video came out this weekend from the clemson camp and i just wanted to go ahead and
give a great look at arch manning and his throwing mechanics i've gotten a couple people to reach out
about his actual breakdown and i've done a breakdown with him in the past i think he was
when he was a freshman though so you know now i'm pretty sure he's going through his junior
year he might be going into his senior year but big thing is we want to be able to look at his
throwing mechanics and you know i really love this video just because it shows again some of the main
fundamentals of what it is that we talk about in terms of throwing mechanics and i just love seeing
a time and time again the mechanics being the big thing here that is truly the separator between
top performing quarterbacks and quarterbacks that are not performing at a high level
and i really think i see this mistake more than any other mistake in you know quarterback training
or quarterback development which is just not putting a focus on the mechanics right if you can
you're not able to make all the throws right if you're not able to the deep out if you're not
able to throw a skinny post so you're not able to you know do the deep ball the 50 yard deep
ball like arch manning does perfectly here then you are really not able to maintain the right
mechanics it comes down to the mechanics time and time again that is the the key differentiator here
and so i'm going to go into it here but if you are watching this and not able to get the throw
you know if you're not able to throw the ball 50 yards you got to focus on the mechanics stop
you know going and just doing random you know rolling out to the left and throwing to the right
and doing these random drills and all these things that are not focusing on correcting the mechanics
so anyway i'm going to hop in the video sorry for the quick rant but i just see it so often
on the internet where people are just not putting a focus on the mechanics and then wondering why
they can't make any improvements within throw so this is the main thing that i talk about guys
the main thing i talk about the lower body what look at how he pushes off that the back leg and
as he is initiating his ability to start coming forward with the front hip and this is even after
hitch too which is even more impressive and just shows his focus on being able to maintain a great
balance and great body position but he's here and he still has his weight back right he's not all
the way out in front i see so many people that in this position their hip is already over their foot
right and then all of a sudden as they shift their weight forward they straighten out that front knee
they stop the hip movement and that ends up making a huge impact on the throat i wish we had the back
angle here too but notice how he's able to as he's pushing out that back leg drive his hips
all the way through the throne even after he's finishing his hips are coming through so that
ends up being you know the big issue with a lot of quarterbacks is that as the ball is coming through
and their elbows coming through they're stopping the hips notice how he's continuing his hips all
the way through the throw he drives right and as the ball's coming out he's still in a position to
be able to keep the hips going now i would say it looks like as he's getting to this position
he's still pretty high up onto that his toes right he could be in a little bit better
control position keep that heel a little bit further down as he gets that front leg and i
think as he continues to get a little bit more stability within the lower half the ankles the
knees things like that he will be able to do that a little bit more effectively but you know
big thing is that he gets to this position right when you're pushing off when you get that front
foot down right notice where his front foot's down boom right and when his front foot's down
his weight is still back okay doesn't matter if he's doing hits doesn't matter the the movement
that's going on just being able to get to that fundamental positioning is key in the fundamentals
of being able to improve as a quarterback and then from there then you drive through get the elbow
through get the hand through everything comes through with a lot more effectiveness now i just
recently made a video about making sure that we're able to stay in balance and keeping
the chest forward and things like that and that ends up being something that he does really well
as well is that he's not going and he's not leaning back a ton as he takes this step he's
maintaining a good position which then allows him to drive that elbow through as well so there's two
main things that are important his finish again is is good in that he's continuing to bring the hips
through he's maintaining that front arm in a good position i still think he can have a little bit
more stability within that front foot and he'll probably develop that as he gets a little bit more
control and understanding how to utilize the lower body but great fundamentals in the throw
that's why he was able to um throw the ball you know on the money gear right i mean i guess you
could keep it a little bit more on the outside but still you know in terms of i mean how much can we
really nitpick on this that ball is really on the muddy especially for his age and especially given
the situation and you know that ends up being at least a uh you know 45 50 yard pass because
he's throwing it from the 45 and the guy catches it probably you know eight yards eight not eight
nine yards in the end zone and he's having to go to the side of it so that adds a little bit more
distance as well so um excellent throw excellent mechanics this ends up being the name of the game
guys i'm continuing to preach the same thing and i know there's a lot of people that are watching
i hope that you're able to actually apply it and you know i really hope that you can understand
the importance of doing a breakdown or you know one thing i've been pushing a lot with clients is
hopping on a zoom session because with the zoom we can go and either you can ask questions through
the breakdown or you can actually go to the field set up a tripod or you know if you have a dad or
somebody that you can have with come with you then you know film i'll go and actually record it with
my ipad or with my phone and then we'll utilize that actual throw right so i'm you're zooming and
and you know we're on a zoom i record you throw and then after that we go and we look at the
actual mechanics while you're still on the zoom i correct it just like this you're not keeping
your weight back you're not doing the right thing with the elbow you're not doing the right thing
at the wrist this ends up being the big thing i could compare it to somebody else i could
show you exactly what you need to do on a drill you know because we are on a zoom it's all live
and then you can go and throw again and this is a great way to work on some of the key fundamentals
in improving your mechanics at the end of the day again if you're not getting the improvement it's
because of something that you're doing within the mechanics and you know if you're not able to get
the mechanics down there could be a lack of range of motion in the body there could be a strength
thing there could be a power thing there could be something that we could do from an exercise
perspective or from a drill perspective that would make a big difference but at the end of the day
you got to understand where you're missing within the mechanics in order to you know really make a
big improvement within the throw you know don't listen to a coach that's going to try to sell
you on the idea that you know oh you're going to just continue to develop you know you just keep
on working on the arm strength and the more that you throw then the more arm strength and there is
some truth to that but that's not going to be what ends up being the the key difference the
key difference is not having the right mechanics and you know why you can gain some strength by
developing a stronger arm right or getting more shoulder and and the more you're throwing up
you're going to get some improvement but you're not going to it's not going to happen near as fast
and it's also not going to happen near as much as if you really focus on improving the mechanics
so that ends up being the big thing here guys and and i love you know when i watch this arch
manning video it's just like wow another guy that has great mechanics and throwing the deep ball and
no wonder he's having success and i want all of you guys to experience that same type of success
right i want you guys to be able to throw a 50 yard deep ball and have a lot of confidence behind
it but it's not going to happen unless you take some isolated time to really make it so you can
make some improvements within you know how you're throwing the ball and making sure you really can
connect to what it is that i'm doing wrong and how can i actually make those improvements so
hopefully we can sign up for either a zoom breakdown program whatever the case may be all the
