A few things I've noticed about this guy:GUYDON » Fri Jun 02, 2023 11:24 am
My only issue watching O'Connell is, he seems to shot put the ball more than throws it. Hos throwing motion is just weird. In the end ot may not matter, but for now it os a concern of mine.Attyla » Fri Jun 02, 2023 11:48 am
throwing motion can be worked on. It is his footwork that is wildly crazy. It can be fixed but that takes a lot of time when it is as bad as his is.GUYDON wrote Fri Jun 02, 2023 11:24 am:My only issue watching O'Connell is, he seems to shot put the ball more than throws it.

Good news is, Im sure we will see plenty of him in the Pre. May run in the the same situation we had with car where we have a guy but injuries and the rookies play elevates him to start.

Awkward throwing motion and poor footwork and yet accurate in college. Could mean there is a lot of potential there.Attyla wrote Fri Jun 02, 2023 11:48 am:throwing motion can be worked on.

I do not disagree, but he is raw and will need time. He mostly did not play against elite teams, some but not mostly. Like I said some time ago, he was probably over drafted by one round but Zeigler sees something in him enough to pull the trigger a little early.signal wrote Fri Jun 02, 2023 11:58 am:Awkward throwing motion and poor footwork and yet accurate in college.

Everything I have read indicates he is sharp (intelligence can be underestimated) so looking foward to watching him develop. Did not play with a dynamic back, an incredible wall for an OL or top tier WRs so....looking to see what he can bring at the next level.

Super interesting observation , as I hadn't watched tape of him really.GUYDON wrote Fri Jun 02, 2023 11:24 am:My only issue watching O'Connell is, he seems to shot put the ball more than throws it. Hos throwing motion is just weird. In the end ot may not matter, but for now it os a concern of mine.

Like I said, the cool thing is we should see him a bunch in the pre-season. With Jimmy out for who knows how long, my boy Garbers might stick around for more than just practice squad.Hellbound » Fri Jun 02, 2023 1:36 pm
Rivers had the ugliest motion/release I've ever seen. It didn't hamper his ability to play in the leagueGUYDON wrote Fri Jun 02, 2023 11:24 am:My only issue watching O'Connell is, he seems to shot put the ball more than throws it.

Rivers is a bad comparison. He blew up almost every college team record and was a concensus top 10 pick in the draft. Yea, he had that side arm throw but he was a machine.Hellbound wrote Fri Jun 02, 2023 1:36 pm:Rivers had the ugliest motion/release I've ever seen. It didn't hamper his ability to play in the league
