Something interesting about the hop. It may have been coached to him. A couple of years ago I attended a training session before coaching my son's school baseball team. The guy doing it taught a very interesting technique on throwing a ball long distance. Obviously, few people are born with Vlad or Sheff type arms, and little kids obviously don't have much of a gun in the first place. In order to compensate, you "skip" to generate forward momentum. When the guy was talking about it, I was like "Yeah sure, I'm going to teach my son how to play hopscotch on a baseball field, NOT!" Then he made everyone there get up and actually do it. It was the most amazing thing I have ever learned in terms of sports. I was blessed with a strong arm, so I wouldn't have needed it as a kid, but I still would have loved to have learned this when I was young. My son doesn't have a particularly strong arm, but he is very accurate. I taught him this technique, and he throws at least twice as far as he would without it. So perhaps this was just a technique taught to Penny to generate more power behind his throws, without adding more pressure to his shoulder. Remember, the legs are the strongest part of the body. If you can channel that force into a throw, whether it be a baseball or a football, who gives a damn whether it looks a bit silly? If Penny can get another 10-15 yards on his throws just by skipping, he can prance like a deer for all I care. With his level of accuracy, adding another 10 or 15 yards to a throw is the difference between a 3rd and 8, and a TD to Cotchery or Coles in the open field.
OhioJetsFan ................ who is that woman in your avatar? Very nice :beer: By the way; in the first quarter, with all the potential starters, we dominated Tampa. The rest of the game were guys just trying to make the team.
Wow....that was insightful. Go watch a wrestling match so you can experience the manly look. What the hell does how he looks has anything what's so ever to do with beign good.?
Maybe he prefers a quarterback being born out of a football with green rain coming down on him. Then, at birth, he drinks some Gatorade Rain. Now that is manly.
