hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be going over
the fundamentals of a great release and we're going to start the video right now
okay so this is something that i think is really important just because i see a lot of quarterbacks
that end up sending in videos and breakdowns of themselves throwing and the release to me
really makes a big influence on how you end up generating force out of the lower body so the
better you can get your your release nice and cleaned up the better you're going to be able
to generate force right so we're just looking here with two quarterbacks you know this is dan marino
here on the side and then i don't really know who that is exactly but we can see the difference in
how force even gets generated here and how that ends up making a big difference and how fast you
know dan marino's able to get the ball out of his hands right and a lot of it just has to do with
the load and the ability to generate force out of that lower body and the quickness of how to
generate force at a lower body so some of the fundamentals that i think are really important is
you got to be able to have some degree of load right some degree of pullback we all know dan
marino his big thing was up and out and i wanted to show you guys him in particular because i think
he has a great release but he still has a time where he's bringing the ball back right there then
he's coming up and coming right out and through we can see he really bends over to the side a lot
in order to create a lot of force out of his you know kind of trunk and lateral lean so he's a good
sized person and has a lot of strength in kind of the lateral part of his body in order to make
that happen but we get a pull back not bringing the ball too far back behind the head and then
full extension of the elbow as he comes through we got another one here as well we got the drop back
right and we can see the same type of thing here really notice how he generates a lot
of force because he opens up those hips right away which really helps him get the ball out of
his hands quickly now we have zach wilson here so this is a little bit more of like a i guess
more modern age type of throwing mechanics or at least modernize type of video um and so we
could see a little bit of a difference here in terms of how and this is live speed the other
ones i didn't know for sure if they were live speed so i'm going to actually time this one
um so the ball leaves his hand at about 1494 right or he separates there 1494. notice how he really
brings that elbow back so he loads and brings that elbow back he also starts with the ball pretty
low there but he gets that load drives the elbow through right has full range to be able to get the
yellow through and then releases with the ball way out in front of him at 15 24 right so that's about
0.3 seconds in terms of how fast he's getting the ball of his hands notice how there's not a lot
of wasted motion with the ball back behind his head this is a little bit of time period there
also notice that that because he was able to kind of bring the ball back and really open up within
the chest he doesn't end up dropping that elbow as he's transitioning from the arm going back to then
coming back forward and through that's obviously a big thing i see a lot of quarterbacks kind of
struggle with now we have josh allen this one's again in slow motion so we can't really see
exactly time period wise where he's at but again notice how he is doing a great job of pushing
a lot of his his force straight right that ends up being a huge thing guys you got to be able to
know how to generate force off that back leg to make it so it's straight so then you don't have
wasted motion in the arm i see a lot of guys that as they're they're coming through with the arm
they end up allowing the ball and the arm and the elbow to come way too far out to the side
rather than being able to come right up and and through and i think a lot of that has to do with
coming too far around in the actual throat so yeah just driving that elbow right through maintains
a really good position within the wrist make sure that you're keeping your your pinky coming
forward like that right notice how he's as he's coming through he's allowing that to get a good
amount of external rotation right there so he's kind of bending that arm fully back there it's
harder to do it without like a football without during the throw but um you can see how he's
got all that bend but then as he's coming through while he is flaking his wrist like this he's also
getting a bend in the pinky that makes it so he's able to get a large flick in that full
arm and getting all that extension out in front of his body after he gets that extension out in front
right then that elbow bends but first he gets that extension boom right we're looking at for that
full extension in the arm in order to really perfect that release okay so we'll just go over
here we have tom brady here last so part of what ends up being important is the load right kind of
loading up then it ends up being that elbow drive right and making that elbow drive be really close
to the ear right right over the shoulder we don't want that elbow drive to be coming too far out to
the side we want that elbow to be coming up and through after the elbow comes up to the ear now
is when that wrist is really coming forward and through with a lot of velocity there right so
we can see that there's a bend in the elbow wrist is coming through with a lot of velocity and then
full extension out of the wrist and out of the elbow as we're releasing and then from
there bringing the ball straight downwards after you release the ball not trying to come too far
across we really want to make sure we're bringing the ball down now now um tom brady kind of ends
up to the side a little bit as he comes through but that's just because he releases the ball so
high so he's here and all this is straight down and then it kind of comes across so big thing is
making sure that you're pulling the ball down as you're releasing in order to really maximize your
overall release pattern as always guys thanks for watching the video if you've gotten anything out
