what's up everyone morey croson here from the performance lab of california we're gonna do
another breakdown here to date on Kurt Warner one of the I mean a Hall of Fame quarterback
so a excellent you know all-time quarterback you know the whole breakdown will go into much more of
like the deep parts of the of the throwing out of obviously a high-powered offense when when
he played for the Rams and even when he played for the the Cardinals had another high-powered
offense there as well so got a lot of deep balls and thought we would be able to go into more depth
on that year he is very good at throwing the deep ball very accurate dude we can see I mean a lot
of the same type of things here so you know one of the things that it's very very important as
a quarterback is you got to be able to get this first lateral shift in your body weight and then
be able to transfer that to a rotational movement in your and really your whole body starting with
how you moving your ankles and how you move in your hips and how you move into your spine and
when you do that especially if you get a little bit more rotation your lower body first now
you're gonna be able to get into a little bit of extension within the lumbar spine by getting some
lumbar spine extension you could then put a little bit better greater stretch onto your shoulder
which will help you with your overall throw and so that's what we'll kind of go through here is
how can't Kurt Warner does that so what we see is that that step off of that that back leg see how
he starts now once he gets that leg down now he starts to rotate first it goes into his lower body
or yeah lower body into his hip so you can see how that then makes it so he rotates in his lumbar
spine and now that's gonna make it so he could put a greater amount of stretch on that shoulder as
he's coming through and then once it's from there it's all about just being able to create a good
amount of continual action continual movement not have not being able to get in your own way
essentially because what he does really good here and he has a bit of an elbow elbow drop so
I'd actually say that his mechanics can probably a little bit better here actually just cuz you might
put a little bit more pressure on the elbow than he'd want to oh yeah it's a good amount
of extension and then what ends up happening here is that he can get all the way around all
the way through onto his front leg so he's very strong on that on that front leg and he actually
kind of has like a slight lean over the side you can see a lot of times what I see when from this
moment you know it's actually it is difficult to get to this moment in the actual throw but
then well there's quarterbacks that also can get to this moment but then cannot continue all the
way through the throw and be able to put a large amount of velocity into their throw and be able to
then decelerate you can see that that corner does that very well and that's why he's able to play at
the level that he's able to play at so go to this next one here stepping up a little bit won't see
much the same thing so I mean it takes a you gotta take a little bit bigger stride when you're taking
a when you're gonna throw deep the reason being is you need more lateral shift so there's more
movement side to side when he's going through that that deep throw so he's going all the way
he's he's shifting laterally see so he goes here he reaches out that's the lateral shift now he's
going into rotational shift it's actually a little bit better to get that front foot down before you
begin the rotational shift just because then you have a little bit more power on that front leg he
doesn't do that but it still ends up working out for him so you want to get that front leg down
then you get the rotation the front part of his hip so you can see right here see how his front
part of the hips really initiate the rotation so now I was moving there he's brought his hips are
now basically facing straight ahead now he's trying to catch the the front arm up with them
and notice what he does at the front arm so you kind of reaches straight ahead and then look how
he pulls back hard with that front elbow we always are trying to talk about this in the lap pull back
hard with that front elbow to make it so then you can get a good amount of rotation coming through
he does an excellent job of getting all the way through it's a rotation there's a bleeding off
to the side a little bit when it goes through the the throne and kind of you know follows up
off to the to the side so an interesting strategy in how he really finishes the throw I think would
be a thing to take away from here and then also you know just another guy who's able to get a lot
of a lot of force out of that lower body and gets that that good Association I mean it all
becomes you know it's very important to be able to move in that lower body first then be able to
get rotation in the upper body notice again that pullback with that front elbow see that front
elbow that's a great thing you can take away from Kurt Warner clearly reaching out and then pulling
straight back and he's using that pull to really accelerate and the and that that back arm that
right arm to make it so that he can come through and and and throw the ball with a lot of velocity
and then notice how he also comes off to the side to make it so that's how he helps his deceleration
I think the deceleration is also important thing to not necessarily replicate I think the
front elbow you definitely want to replicate as a quarterback but I think it's something to consider
as a quarterback is how am i working on the big deceleration of the throne how do my sure that I'm
getting all of my momentum and all of my weight all the way through went on I'm going through
the throw so yeah great interesting breakdown here on Kurt Warner he's definitely one of the premier
passers in the you know and NFL history I made to the Hall of Fame so you can only you know be
a you have to be a great quarterback in order to make it to the Hall of Famer I think Kurt Warner
definitely is part of that back category so as always guys thanks for watching these videos if
you want to find out more about our five months online throw program reach out to us it contains
these breakdowns for you personally we work on your deep ball we working on your ability
to just work on on overall mechanics we also go from a strengths perspective maintenance so you
can really focus in and hone in on developing your shoulders we've been doing this for about
two months now have over 40 quarterbacks in the program it's been very very successful really
been enjoying the whole process and looking forward to bringing more and more guys on it
