Practice Report Video Up: A Couple Tidbits

My God, you’re right. The ball came off Akina’s hand better than McCoy’s. Diggs had about 2 seconds to wait for that duck to come down, and it was still well out of Hales’ reach.

Doesn’t Akina believe he should have beat out Warren Moon when they were both at Washington? Maybe he should have.

I’m sorry for being obtuse, but can someone tell me what exactly about Colt’s ball looks bad?

I mean, besides that it was picked, of course.

Please-

You mean Case. And do you mean outside of the fact that it was overthrown by 8 yards and nearly hit the top of the bubble at it’s peak?

Gotta love Byndon getting physical on that end zone throw.

bevorebel:

Haha didn’t even notice I said Colt.

I do mean besides the fact that it was a poor decision and inaccurate. I feel like there are criticisms leveled against Case that have nothing to do with decision making and accuracy (I’m not saying such criticisms re: decision making and accuracy are unwarranted but that’s not what I’m asking about).

I guess it’s not clear to me from that video what about his mechanics look bad. I’m just not seeing the same things most people are and I’d like to learn.

he had to float that pass, no power to direct to the target. every long sling like that he’s essentially throwing up a ‘prayer’

Case’s primary mechanical problem is that he has a tendency to throw off his back foot. Sometimes a quarterback doesn’t have time to step into his throw if he’s under pressure, but Case consistently throws off his back foot. Couple this with a weak arm and you’ve got trouble. Or, as nobis60 so aptly put it: bad juju.

On the play in question, it looks like he does step into his throw, he simply threw a wildly inaccurate rainbow. For lots of examples of him tossing off his back foot, though, watch the spring game or any of a number of the practice videos.

Jesus any updates from the Cigar on the Uverse contract? this is really important to me.

The Apostle, nothing new. Sorry man.

Case McCoy makes Chad Pennington look like Jeff George.

Love Major’s intensity. So glad the awshucksitude has been excised from our program. If we lose, it won’t be because of coaching.

Former Texas player Johnny Walker blast at 247 this morning,

“Everyone knows David Ash won the open competition. There is way more pressure on GG. He has everything to lose and nothing to gain. I would hate to be in his shoes. He doesn’t have the support of the fans nor his teammates. "
