Very impressed with Drake Harris. Not impressed with Wilton Speight. His release still looks very generic, and slow.

I was a catcher, playing baseball most of my life.  If you look closely he actually short arms the ball, which by definition would be quite specific.  This type of throwing motion is made for quick release.  So although i am not John Brinkus with ESPN sports science I will chose to disagree with your assessment.  My eyes tell me his throwing motion is quick with little waisted movement.  However, he releases close to his ear which leaves the ball starting out lower.  Which may be a problem with tall and/or long armed DE/DTs. 

 

Go Blue!

In defending my position/thought: For example specifically a math, engineering, political science question,etc. or video.  I would not be able to really way in on specific technique and or specific knowledge.  Each of us have our areas of giftnedness and mine happens to be in basic Bio mechanics as I teach PE.  My opinion is no better than anyone else's.  I just happen to have schooling that has taught me some things about the how the body moves.  Also many eyes that have experience like I do may or may not see his mechanics differently than I do.  No worries only offering an educated opinion.  

BTW I coach and teach privately various sports so this is an area of passion that I truely enjoy.  

Go Blue!

Completely disagree. Speights release is way more compact and quicker than it was in high school. Idk how you came to that conclusion, but I've been studying QB's for a long time and I couldn't disagree more with your assesment of Wilton's release.

In HS Wilton's release was drawn out with a little side arm action. Now the release is much more compact and over the top. Big improvement in terms of fundamentals. I'm excited to see more from the QB's, but ultimately the spring game will go a long way in determining who the starting QB will be. I'm betting Speight wins the job and keeps it.

No matter what kind of shape D. Green is in, he is a servicable running back at best, not a game changer....not a horse you can ride to grind out yards in a tough game.
