Dan Campbell yells at Jameson Williams after silly flag for Lions

This is true, I was going to post the same thing. I remember there was an old youtube video that was like a sports science video. They were doing a fun comparison of who is more accurate, a quarterback and an archer. The quarterback was Drew Brees. Brees killed the olympic archer in an accuracy competition. In the video, it talks about Brees passes being thrown with a little bit of wobble. Brees explains that you do that to make the passes drift further. A perfect spiral ball will begin dipping immediately off of the hand. A ball with a little wobble will help it carry further and be more accurate, especially on long downfield throws.

The catch of course is controlling the wobble, and not throwing a pass that carries further than you want.

Found the video here.

I couldn’t remember if they were the same video or not. Did a quick search for the sports science article and then just gave up. It’s Christmas break, after-all. I’m off work. LOL

As I’m sitting here typing, I’m also watching Inside the Den where Staff dials up a deep bomb to Megatron… wobble and all. :slight_smile:
