Iāve been to a few prof clinics in La and Virginia and have studied the philosophies of some of these Qb coaches.
Itās kind of similar to swing theory and the plane of the swing in golf.
Imo I donāt think thereās much to do in the throwing mechanics dept for Tua, kind of like Marino in that regard where your not gonna tweak anything because itās so natural, and just perfect for lack of a better word, the accuracy and the quickness is already there, you donāt want to tweak something that has been perfected in a natural way, and we know that Tua has the fastest release in the game, and heās the most innately accurate Qb in the game, the mechanics for which he throws a football is set up for that type of speed and accuracy, itās practically built into the mechanics.
So, weāre left with core strength and footwork, these are the areas for which Tua can improve.
When you talk core strength, there are many reasons why Iāve been against the strategy of Tua gaining bad weight to combat his concussions theory, itās just plain bad advice from people who donāt quite understand the genetics part of his physique.
Gaining weight and gaining core strength couldnāt be more toxic for each other.
You can gradually build muscle mass, gradually lose fat at the same time, you change the ratio over time by building solid lean muscle while building that core strength you speak of.
That equally added core strength, added muscle, and if done right, you have added speed and agility. Weāre only talking about a few lbs of pure muscle every year doing it that way, which is always the right way for a pro athlete.
So what your trying to create in Tua is a better body fat percentage, resulting in quickness and speed, while using some core strength principles in the process, which will create a faster, stronger, a qb with more velocity, without adding bad fat, which he absolutely did last year.
