Jadeveon Clowney dominates

Quote:Osweiler just looks like he throws the ball funny to me. Just his whole wind up/motion in general.


Being a Blake supporter I shouldn't be one to criticize mechanics too much, but he just looks odd to me.
Yeah me too. He doesn't wind up like Leftwich or Tebow but he throws it as if he is pitching from the stretch.


I think what your noticing is his front foot is very wide, as in he takes a large open step into his long throws. He doesn't squeeze his cheeks as Dilfer Dimes explains as a 'double cheeker'

Quote:He does have unorthodox mechanics, mainly because he throws in 3/4 quarters side arm motion instead of over the top usually.


But like I tell people, if it isn't broke, the Texans certainly shouldn't fix it. Someone n a Texans site pointed out awhile back how Brock actually becomes less accurate when he throws over the top than when he uses his usual motion. And people have said that it could lead to some batted passes, and that may be true but still if he's a lot more accurate in that motion than you don't change it. Amd I wouldn't change Bortles' mechanics if it works for him.
 


I tend to agree. If it works, it works. Sure you can improve it, but don't play worse for the sake of "looking better"

Quote:Well Clowney got a sack today. I am curious what Texan fans thought of the game as far as him and Oswieler go.
 

Clowney was alright. I think the Texans are still trying to figure out how to use him, so he's still doing more thinking than playing. 

 

Osweiler. I'm still not seeing $18M. He still looks young & raw. Perfect for O'Brien to mold into his QB. I think his accuracy is great, his arm is great, his mobility is adequate. Just needs to settle down & sync up with the other new pieces.

Osweiler looked pretty good in his first outing with the tinhorns. The pass to Hopkins was beautiful - and Hopkins didn't even push off on that play either!

Of course, being 6'7 I guess he can sidearm it a bit.
