what's up everyone morning crocin here
from the performance lab in california
and we have another breakdown here for
you today staying on the same track as
we have recently we're gonna keep on
doing some of the best guys out there
and just really continue to go into some
of the the key overall mechanics that
are super important in order to really
maximize your throw as as a quarterback
and so I'll go into Drew Brees here I
love drew Brees just because there's so
much we can learn from a height
perspective as well and in how he uses
his body to really maximize his throw
he's not a very overall tall guy I
wouldn't say he's not a big guy because
it definitely is a pretty big guy he's
just not a tall guy and so what we could
do is is really get a lot from what does
he do as a as a quarterback to to be
able to have a lot of success now one of
the things that is very prevalent within
his throws every single time he's gonna
go and throw the ball that's how his
arms are gonna be he's gonna be very
very you know he's gonna load and get
that elbow up in the front side as well
as the elbow up in the back side and not
everybody's like that but but he
definitely is now notice his feet
pushing off that back leg right and this
is something we're talking about all the
time pushing off that back leg but I'm
kind of like drags that back leg a
little bit and also notice how he's
using his body to really stand up I mean
when he's throwing the ball he's every
bit of six foot maybe even up to like 6
1 somewhere in that overall standpoint
he's definitely not in a you know he's
not getting shorter because there's guys
that would that se throw where they kind
of overdo go in and throwing and
bringing their body downwards as their
throwing you can see how he goes he's
definitely getting up with that throw
and definitely trying to create that
upward force as he's coming through and
he's really creates a lot of rotation
his spine his overall ability to rotate
so much in his obliques in his co
or is where he gets a lot of his power
from and in his actual throw and and
also what I wanted to show there was
some of that weight shift look at how we
how well he's able to even with a big
step create a lot of momentum from that
back leg upwards first then rotational
and then all the way through notice how
he's ending up over all the way over to
the edge of his of his body
he's almost leaning over to that left
side as he's finishing because of how
much overall force he's getting in the
throw alright we'll go to the next one
here the next one is is an awesome
example of his elbow and and how he is
overall releases so notice here going
back same position with those arms and
and I love looking at that you know how
he brings that the ball back and it gets
in that 9090 position and then notice
how from that 9090 position how fast
that elbow comes forward right there's
really not very much movement in that
elbow going back I almost think that
this might be one of the best examples
of being able to bring that ball
straight back and they're coming
straight through straight back straight
through it that that elbow and notice
again look at how still his bought his
lower body is look at how there's almost
no movement happening in a troller body
he's gone he's rotated right there he
gets all that weight goal his lower body
and I was creating all that rotation
with that upper body really pulling back
with that front arm and that's where him
getting that front arm down out in front
really help makes a big mix a big deal
and one of the things I also wanted to
say about this this game is you know
this was a great game for Drew Brees the
reason why we did this is cuz he ended
up being 25 for 29 3 touchdowns I think
it was 365 yards passing and this was
actually the game where he broke the
record for the most passing yards as a
quarterback and this is the actual play
that he did it on and I love what
actually happens on the play look so he
goes here he goes in and fakes like
go into the to his check down underneath
try to get some some type of corner
action somebody to be able to respond
there and that comes back replaces his
feet immediately already has is as he's
replacing his feet Artie's cocking back
his arm and it just totally whips around
that upper body look at all that
rotation he creates within that upper
body to try to get all he can into that
throat because by him going and
initially putting his weight here that
made it so he had to kind of put some
force see how he had to shift his weight
forward there then he has to reload but
still all of his weights for he's not
going to be able to get all his weight
back on that back leg so he has to use a
lot of rotation that upper body in order
to get that that arm or that ball there
and also create a lot of force with that
front arm and also you gotta think the
guys actually running there too as going
up but notice how you know he was able
to create that a little bit more space
where his receiver to get open and
really made it so I mean was able to
make the play I think that was just such
a cool play to me and seeing you know
some of the the small parts of what
makes drew brees drew brees missed the
last one just like getting the ones from
the sides where he's throwing it you
know when we had wonder they were left
now we're gonna have one to the right
again notice how he was able to go reset
his feet and from when he said some
speeds let's just see how the defense is
moving and immediately says okay don't
like that I'm going to set my feet saw
some blitz coming
transfer is weighed forward and then
once he gets going with that weight he
locks in that that lower body and really
creates a lot of rotation and that that
upper body and that's what really
generates a throw and look at how far
out he extends that arm look at that
big-time arm extension I mean again I
really think that from a release
perspective I really think that he has
some good stuff to to get from in terms
of his release and they have some sports
science on on Drew Brees he's I mean
overall just a great you know
quarterback obviously but look at how
smooth it is with that elbow coming back
and then elbow coming straight through
and how effective he is he's getting the
ball out of his hands and that's the big
reason why
and I really think you know i'm i'm
gonna use this personally this breakdown
and being able to see how drew Brees
throws a lot with my quarterbacks or the
quarterbacks that are in the program
because just seeing and really
connecting to how you can be that
effective in that efficient with your
overall throwing motion is such a great
thing for you for quarterbacks to be
able to see and really understand
because you know what i've been saying
recently has really been a big
understanding for me is that you know
it's all about getting the body it's all
about being it would be very efficient
and so being able to work through that
and get that better is something that
we're really putting a big focus on
especially this this year and making
sure that you have the range and the
understanding of your body to make it
all happen so as always if you guys have
any questions about the throwing program
i'd highly recommend any quarterback
that's in watching these videos
definitely you got to be a part of the
program
I mean how we're going into the
biomechanics right now and how great of
responses were getting from quarterbacks
and the dads and and you know the people
affiliated it's just been super
tremendous everybody that has been doing
it has been very very satisfied with
their overall improvement and yeah I
mean we want to keep on being able to
provide value so if you're watching the
video and you're interested in you know
becoming a better quarterback again I
highly recommend you you join in the
program and I look forward to helping
you end up and get better all right
we'll talk soon the next guy we're gonna
do is Dwayne Haskins so we'll keep on
getting after it thank you so much for
watching this video I hope you really
enjoyed it if you did you can subscribe

updates on any of the new videos that we
get also if you want to check out some
of our other breakdowns for speed and
