WEBVTT - Happy Half Hour: The 2.7 Project (Feat. Jake Delhomme)

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Tuts do whoa It's time for the Happy half Hour,

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>presented by Southern Star, an official bourbon of the Carolina Panthers.

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 2>A good quarterback can thrive in chaos. A great quarterback

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 2>can slow down time to negate the chaos altogether. There's

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>a moment before the ball is snapped, when everything is still.

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 2>That's when the quarterback assesses everything around him, who is where,

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>who is rushing? Who is his best matchup. When the

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>ball is snapped, twenty two pieces are thrown into the

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>air and the passer has a finite amount of time

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>to put it back together. Dave ca Analysis made a

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 2>career out of helping a quarterback slow down that time,

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 2>put the pieces back together with ease, and make the

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>best decisions in the quickest window possible. Throughout his career,

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 2>he's analyzed film and practices and the best of the

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>best in the game to determine if a quarterback can

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 2>get the ball out in two point seven seconds, he

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>has the best chance of making the right decision and

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 2>lowering the risk of turnovers. Canalys has spent this off

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.279
<v Speaker 2>season thus far helping quarterback Bryce Shawn get his throwing

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>time down to that two point seven seconds, but of

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.839
<v Speaker 2>course it's easier said than done. To understand the intricacies

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.759
<v Speaker 2>of the challenge, The Happy half Hour spoke to one

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 2>of the best passers in Panther's history, Jake DeLong, to

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.559
<v Speaker 2>find out what it takes to lower a throwing time,

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>what the timeline looks like, and just how much of

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>a difference it really makes in a win versus a loss.

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Here's that conversation with Jake Dolom Dave Canals has mentioned

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 2>several times now, he's he mentioned it in his open

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>prefice conferences combine he's I think he's mentioned it every

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>week for the past three weeks. Like Karen Darren OTAs

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 2>about getting Bryce's throwing time down to two point seven seconds,

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 2>and obviously that means, like I would assume, get it

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>down to two point seven in practice, so that three

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>point one three point two in a game feels like

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>all the time in the world. But it's not easier

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 2>said than done, I guess. Is the first question, just

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>off the bat is what is the process to actually

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 2>get a quarterbacks rowing time whittled down?

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, listen, I love it. I love hearing

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>that because there's something about kind of getting out your

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>hand quick. One. It helps the offensive lineman and it

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>helps the offense in general when you're going against the

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>defense when you can just kind of get the ball

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.559
<v Speaker 1>out quick. And that's something that you know you can anticipate.

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 1>To me, if I hear two point seven, I'm deading

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>at least through my first and second read and do

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I maneuver around to get to my third. Yes, we'd

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>love to have the three and a half four second coffee,

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>but that's not the case. But you know, two point

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>seven to me is, hey, make the quick read, make

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the pre snap read, the post snap read, and go

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>through one and two and then you can make your

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>way to three and or four being the checkdown. So

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that's something and I truly believe that. I

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>think that's why Baker played so well last year in Tampa.

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>The ball got out quick. If I went back in

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>my notes from the games when I was preparing for Tampa,

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>both games, that was my thing. Baker got the ball

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>out of his hand quick. When he didn't hold on

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to the ball longer. When he got it out quick,

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>they were really fishing when he held on to it longer.

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 1>That's when some of the bat had passes might have

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 1>happened or more favorable outcome. I guess you could say

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>for the defense. And that's something I know offensively, if

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you can get it out, and I thought Tom did

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 1>a great going to Tom Brady, he did a great

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>job of that because he always would get into the

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>right play in essence and getting the ball out and

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>just kind of taking what they give you. And I

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>truly believe there's something to that and what Dave is

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>saying you mentioned Baker.

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I think actually if you look at Baker's numbers two

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>this past season under Canalist, that was his shortest throwing

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 2>time in his whole NFL career, and so it definitely

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>stood out. But when fans here two point seven, you know,

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>of course they're thinking, like, okay, somebody's gonna be out

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>there with a stopwatch and it has to be out

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>of the three seconds. What is the balance between wanting

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>to get it out quick versus letting a play develop?

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 2>And is that going to what you were saying about

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>first and second reads and do you just have to

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 2>know about if I'm all the way on my third,

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 2>it's time to let do something different and maybe scramble.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's just that's trust and a lot

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of times you have to marry your feet with your

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 1>eyes and your arms. I mean you your feet kind

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of tell you where to go, and and that's that's

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of how you marry it up. And and when

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.239
<v Speaker 1>you start. Okay, let's say it's a five step drop.

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>You know it's one, two three, Usually it's three big

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and two little, so one two, three, four five. I

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>mean you're back there immediately, but you're reading. You got

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a pre snap read and a post snap read, so

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>as you're dropping back, you have a pretty good inclination

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>of Okay, I just confirmed what I thought the coverage

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>might be. Are okay, this is something different we had.

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>We had a weak side of rotation, a strong side

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>of rotation. They went from post safety to split safety.

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>You confirm those things on those first three steps, and

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>then you want to get it four and five. You're

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>setting your feet up to get rid of the football,

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 1>meaning like, I'm transitioning my body how I'm gonna set

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 1>my feet to be able to get rid of the football.

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going one to two and then you understand

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>when you can make it go a little bit longer,

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>being like, hey, they show pressure I think I haven't protected,

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>but you know everybody's accounted for. Okay, they dropped, it's

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>only a four man rush. I'm gonna get an extra

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>help on a D line and a D N whatever

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it may be. And that's when your mind can say,

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I gotta make sure I solidify everything where it's one

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 1>to two, and then you know I can let me

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>keep going because you saw it as the play went.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>It's it's kind of hard to explain. I think it's

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>something you feel. But I just think that's something that

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.600
<v Speaker 1>it's ingrained in you. And if you practice it at

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>two point seven seconds and you don't take longer in practice,

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you get comfortable knowing, hey it's one, it's two, it's three,

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get moving, i gotta get my check down.

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>What's the next best thing as a quarterback that's got

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>to go through your mind.

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 2>So basically, you train the clock in your head, think okay,

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 2>well and now I'm out, Like a decision has to

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>be made.

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent. And that's something that I know. In Carolina,

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Gosh ages ago, when we were there, Dan Henning loved

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to take shots down the field. He didn't care about

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>completion percentage. That He used to say, that makes no

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>sense to me. He said, you take shots down the field,

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>throw outside the numbers. He goes, there's too many big

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>people inside the numbers. And we had a lot of

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>success doing that, and it was a lot of shots.

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>And so sometimes were they pressing Steve or Moose or

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>was the defense off of Steve or Moose? And so

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I had to make that determination as I'm going back,

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>as I'm dropping back, and if they're pressing them, did

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 1>they get a good press on the line of scrimmage

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>or did Steven Moose beat him real fast? Just to

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>know how you want to throw the football, those are

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>just things that that's just that comes into play. That's

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>that's just how you work it and do it. But

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>it all comes back to the premise that, hey, don't

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>turn it over, get it out your hand. And usually

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're getting it out of your hand faster, really

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and truly, you're not turning it over. Yes, you might

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>make a bad read or there's a hand that gets

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 1>up and it bats a ball, but if the longer

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you hold on to it. Sometimes quarterbacks have a tendency

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to I'm gonna try to force it in there, or

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you're just kind of you're a little fuzzy in your

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>read and you want to make sure that you can

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of, I guess, prove to yourself, yes, that's exactly

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>what I saw, And sometimes that's not the best thing.

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>As more and more offenses over the years have gone

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>to like let me rephrase this, as the spread has

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of trickled up into the NFL, and you see

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>more and more quarterbacks like in the gun for the

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 2>majority of snaps. Has the throwing time gone down in

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 2>your opinion or that and is a defensive ends and

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 2>pass rushers have gotten even better. Has that time gone

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 2>down from what maybe it used to be.

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a great question, because you know everything was maybe

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>it was just more condensed. You know, as the spread,

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>everything's so spread out. But when it used to be

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>more condensed, the tight end was attached and you had

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a full back or you had two tight ends, whatever

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>it may be. So things were maybe a little more condensed,

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>so it took a little more time for someone to

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>come free, so to speak. I think it's we've moved

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>our rules in the NFL to one side, and it's

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to help the offense. I think we all know that

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>we can all admit that, and so they went more

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>scoring and things like that. So the spread is get

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball out your hand, kind of a basketball on

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 1>grass type of situation, whereas maybe back when it was

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>more of a still the run, the play action, the boots,

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and the things of that nature, that maybe took a

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>little more time that added to the two point seven.

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>So I just think a lot of it. I think

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the evolution has. Yes, the spread has come in, some

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>of this RPOs things have come in, but also just

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the rules have kind of started to tilt and favor

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the offense. To be quite honest, looking at.

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Bryce specifically, I'm sure this is a guy you've watched

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Is is there's something to the idea

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 2>of like maybe getting him out of the pocket a

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>little bit more, And how does that kind of affect

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Pying back to this two point seven, I would think,

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>if you're moving him out of the pocket that takes

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more time, is it worth that extra

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 2>half a second to maybe move him around, which is

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>what they seem to do a lot more with him

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 2>in college.

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, when you're moving him around more out of the pocket,

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.719
<v Speaker 1>that means there's a play action fake. Well, you got

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 1>to run the ball effectively. First. I mean, that's what

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to. If we have a running game,

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and listen, we invested in two big time guards, and

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>so we want to run the football, and I think

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that's the most consistent way to win in the NFL. So, yes,

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>if we are running it effectively, especially when he's going

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to do the boots and things of that nature, where

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>there is the play action and you can get full

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.839
<v Speaker 1>flow from linebackers and things like that, it's going to

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>add to it. But I always felt even last year

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.719
<v Speaker 1>during the games, I thought Brian, in my opinion, and

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>don't get me wrong, year one was very difficult, but

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I just thought he was so deadly accurate, especially in

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the intermediate type passes and especially kind of inside the

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, inside the number, so to speak. And I

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, I wish we did a little more of

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>these for him, because I just I just felt he

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>was his feet, he could get himself in balance really

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>really quick, and he could kind of get the ball

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>out fast. But his accuracy in those in those areas

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought, I just thought it was great and I

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>wish we would maybe done a little bit more of

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that last year. But now, yeah, we're probably in my opinion,

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I think we're going to get him out more because

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we're gonna run the ball better, at least

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I hope we can. I mean, we spend a lot

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of money, a lot of capital in

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line, and we have a lot of running backs,

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and so that's what we want to If we're can

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 1>establish that, then that's only going to help. And hopefully

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 1>it's more than two point seven segments, because if it's

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>more than two point seven, it's because we're running the

0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>ball better.

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 2>This is just an assign But you mentioned like Kim

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 2>throwing those intermediate passes. I feel like people look so

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 2>much for the big arm nowadays that they don't realize

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 2>how accurate you have to be to throw an eight

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 2>yard hitch in the middle of all that traffic.

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Listen, listen, listen. I understand the big arm. I get it.

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>And the certainly there's some big armed quarterbacks, you know,

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen certainly comes to mind. There's no doubt he

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 1>has the big arm. But I just go back to

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the Peyton Mannings, the Drew Breeses, those guys, even the

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Kurt Warner. How accurate Kurt was the Steve Young. The

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 1>arm is plenty big enough, but it's the accuracy and

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>where's the ball placement. Are we throwing somebody that's running

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a shallow cross or or a mess route. Are we

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>throwing it and they're catching it and their feet get

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of turned, or are we throwing it on the

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>run and you're speaking to them with the football. What

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean by that is that you're hitting them and

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.079
<v Speaker 1>you're you're giving them a direction. If it is a

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of a stationary route where somebody runs in and

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>they sit in a hole, a zone hole, are you

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>throwing it to the opposite shoulder where the defender's coming

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>from to let the receiver know, hey, I'm sending you

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>this way, this is where you need a turn. I

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>think those are the things that's I just think accuracy

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL is paaramount. I just you can either

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>pass the football or you throw the football. A lot

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>of guys with big arms they throw the football. They're

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.079
<v Speaker 1>just throwing it to a spot. When you pass the football,

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of layering it and you're talking to the receiver,

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's just it's aesthetically it's more pleasing and it

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 1>helps your team to be quite honest.

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like that. The difference between throwing and passing.

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I've never thought about it like that.

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a big I mean, that's what it is. I mean,

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>are they a thrower? Are they're a passer? And the

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>great quarterbacks they're all passes of the football. Yeah.

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Going back to something you said earlier too about like

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 2>the footwork being so paramount to whatever you're going to do,

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 2>but especially if you're lowering your throwing time. That's been

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 2>a huge focus for Bryce this all season rotis in

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 2>mini camp so far? Is it a one off season project?

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>Like can you change your quarterback's footwork to make to

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 2>change him from the bottom up? Can you do that

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>in an off season or is this one of those things.

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>As listen, it will require time, but one percent you

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>can And I was a prime example of it my

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>first three years in New Orleans. You know, kind of

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>a situation where we weren't a good football team. Two

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 1>six and ten teams and a three and thirteen team,

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 1>so really weren't a good team. And then new regime

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>came in. Mike McCarthy comes in as our office of

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>coordinator and we started with Quarterbacks School in March, and

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>it started from the base, and the base is your footwork.

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>And everything we did was done with rhythm and timing,

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's exactly how you went through your progressions. You

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>trusted your feet. And I believe our QB coach Will

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>has come from Dallas. And so that is some of

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the teaching that I know that I was taught. That

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I know Joe Montana was taught, that Steve Young was taught,

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>that rich Gannon was taught, all those guys that go

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>down the Bill Walsh line, so to speak. And it's

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>how it's kind of made its way in the NFL.

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 1>I know for a fact that you can because your

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>feet tell you so much. When you get all these

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 1>repetitions and you learn your plays, your feet, you marry

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>once again, you marry your feet with your arm, and

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you got to trust your feet. And that's just through repetition.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 1>But absolutely it can be changed in the off season.

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 2>How much is it feasible to cut off a whole second,

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 2>so to speak in an off season? Though, Like, how

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>much of a difference is that book making?

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh listen, I think you can. I truly believe you

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>can reinvent yourself from one year to the next and

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>it's specifically less talk Rice. You're talking about the number

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>one overall pick with a team that struggled last year. Listen,

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>we struggled and we had a ton of what fifteen

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>different combinations that played the guard position for us. Last

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>year we struggled something, and we struggled receiver wise and

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>getting some continent and things like that, and it just

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and he went from Frank calling the plays to Thomas,

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>back to Frank back to Thomas. So I think we

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>have to take that with a grain of salt. Went

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>on last year. He lost his quarterback coach also, Josh

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>mccowndur in the course of the season, so there was

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things that were happening. So I think

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>it was a great learning experience for Bryce. Sacks sixty

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>two times he got out of numerous other sacks that

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the number could have been a lot higher. So I

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>just think this will be a different approach, this will

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 1>be a different feel, this will be a different quarterback

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna see. Just the confidence wise, what we're

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>doing schematically and how we want to run the football

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to be able to help open up the passing game.

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>That makes all the difference.

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so too. It's going to be fun

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 2>to watch too. Thank you to Jake for his time

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 2>and insight. Over the next few months, the Happy half

<v Speaker 2>every facet of this idea of two point seven seconds.

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk to former players at different positions, experts in

<v Speaker 2>the field, and those who bring an outside academic perspective

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 2>ought to better understand what it takes to change a

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>quarterback's throwing time. Stay tuned to Panthers dot Com and
