modazfuk Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Go to the coverage thread for today's practice and listen to the audio of my interview with Cot Brennan. I ask him if the coaches are working on his mechanics/throwing motion and was surprised by his answer. Well yeah...As long as Colt is able to get it from POINT A to POINT B on a consistent basis, there is no problem. And this notion that Colt won't be able to throw past the line because of a lack of textbook mechanics is silly IMO. If it wasn't a problem in college, it won't be in the NFL IMO. It's not like NFL players are tall like basketball players lol Zorn appears to be right in focusing on footwork. Steve Young: The first time Sid saw me, he said, "Look, your footwork is horrible." I had never cared -- and knew nothing -- about my footwork; I just got it done on the field. But Sid was the first coach to tell me that my footwork decided how I would play. If Sid could get a hold of most of today's quarterbacks, he would say the same thing: "Your footwork is horrible." http://espn.go.com/nfl/s/westcoast/popularity.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Brennan needs to change his number. Every time I see that 5 I get bad flashbacks of Heath Shuler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modazfuk Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Brennan needs to change his number. Every time I see that 5 I get bad flashbacks of Heath Shuler. He'll probably keep #5 until #15 is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadicSkinFan Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Our starting 3 corners > _____________ Sure is nice seeing Carlos in pads. It sounded like we wouldn't have him until the second half of the season last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kailua Mom Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Colt is a very accurate, prolific passer with the mechanics he has now. You'll get used to it. We did. Defensive linemen batting it down...extremely rare because Colt could read the defenses so well and pick out a firing lane so quickly. Thanks for the great pics, audio, and reports. Please keep letting us know how our Hawaii men, Colt, JT Mapu are doing. Redskins fan base is rapidly growing here in paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD5 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Go look at the #3 thread pics for today. It clearly shows him slinging 45 degree passes.Edit: Here is the pic The more and more of this I see, the more I believe he's headed to IR for the year to have time to get that mechanic fixed. Chris Simms anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensive linemen batting it down...extremely rare because Colt could read the defenses so well and pick out a firing lane so quickly. What are these 'firing lanes' you speak of? Colt will fail because he throws sidearm, played in the run-and-shoot and in the WAC. He didn't get his passes batted down in college because WAC players have much shorter arms. Pay attention to all these armchair QB coaches (read: jackasses). They know what they're talking about. Colt needs to change his mechanics so he can be a mediocre QB like Campbell.

ripman808 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 It don't matter what kind of throwing motion you have if the D- line batts the ball the O -line aint doing his job. Plus Colt is accurate hopefully they all do good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
