[Kleiman] Jets’ Zach Wilson has struggled with a case of the “yips” since the spring, per Ian Rapoport. Albert Breer added the issue goes all the way back to last season.

I'm a Jets fan. I found this video quite insightful. I hope Zach can work it out. This video is based on his rookie season, but as of yet I feel this analysis still applies.

Thanks for posting this, it was an interesting watch.

Thinking Football is such a good channel, thanks for the recommendation =]

I was fully expecting a rick roll or some shit lol.

That arm tho

You dont need zach you have the mighty mike white

20 mins worth of video, does anyone mind summarizing his issue?

So basically when he’s not injured, he plays and sucks. He can go back to BYU and have his little soak parties. His shitty attitude doesn’t help his case by any means either, this kid is toast.

Zach Wilson: Fuck you I don’t have shell shock

Also Zach Wilson: I didn’t realize I had shell shock until my Dad texted me

Herogasm is just all deshaun Watsons

Flash Is Fast & Flash Is Cool

No yips no yips. You're the yip

I would love for him and Josh Rosen to duel it out for a starting QB job somewhere, strictly for entertainment purposes lol.

:) glad i can understand since yesterday

well considering that pretty much no NFL QB has ever successfully overcome the yips I'm guessing his career is going to be over soon. Those guys don't last long.

Bring in Ted Lasso

Now that his NFL career is ending, he can finally pursue his destiny of being the evil elf that betrays Santa.

Is it really the yips if it's just how he plays in every NFL game he appears in?

What are examples of NFL QBs getting the tips?

Geno Smith

Not an NFL guy but Joel Stave got over the yips at Wisconsin and played some decent football.

New to football. What's the yips?

The Diamond Dogs brought in Dr. Fieldstone to cure Danny of the yips. Perhaps this could work for young Zach Wilson as well. After all, football is life.

“Even though football is life, football is also death. And sometimes football is football too. But mostly football is life!” - Dani Rojas

Football is also death

Yes! Just rewatched this episode with some family over thanksgiving.

Ssshhhh! We don’t say that word.

Thw Diamond Dogs? Was Dr. Fieldstone a doctor without a country?

YipYip

Watching Zach Wilson is like watching the Ember Island Players' version of Avatar.

Yooray

bye son

On an island in the sun

Yiiiiiipppp yipyipyipyipyipyipyipyip

Yippy guy, eh Motherfucker?

Kobold?

Hooray!!

this takes me back to the Markelle Fultz days. Wilson should trying laying on his back and throwing the ball from that position.

We’ve arguably suffered through two 1st overall draft picks developing the yips within a couple years of each other lol

What's Fultz up to these days anyway? Last I heard he'd returned to decent enough form to get borderline starter minutes for a tanking Magic team but I haven't heard his name in a year or two.

The yips only apply to a player who has been good and then slumps. He’s never been good.

I’ve had the yips for 30+ years

It's like when someone tells you a show is good but you have to wait for the 4th season before it starts to pick up.

I too could be an elite qb if it wasn't for this lifetime case of the yips I've had that have prevented me from ever even playing football

He could hit basic routes at BYU. It’s never a guarantee that a guy is good, but as someone who watched him a lot in college and a lot in the pros, I’ve never seen a QB become horrendous at throws that were once his bread and butter.

made he can find barkley's guy

He was good at BYU but that’s where it ended

I'd be in the NFL right now if it wasn't for my lifelong case of the yips

this is not true at all. the yips dont really have anything to do with how good you are are.

Less a case of the “yips” and more a case of the “shits”

It’s the fact that his mechanics were never an issue before. His arm talent and accuracy were what got him drafted at 2. Then once he hit the nfl all of the sudden he can’t hit the broad side of a barn.

When asked for comment, Kleiman couldn’t be reached.

How do you unyip yourself?

https://youtu.be/kNtsw9NQRFU

You gotta wear the opposing restaurant- I mean quarterback’s underwear.

Happened to Peggy Hill once with her softball pitching. All Zach Wilson needs is for his mom to be visible to him in the front of the crowd for every snap. Easy fix.

That’s my purse!

What are the “yips”?

Basically when you get in your head. Like when a golfer can't make a putt from 2 feet out. Or we remember when Chuck Knobloch could barely throw from 2nd base to 1st without it sailing over the 1st basemans head? Those are the yips.

He plays scared. Never climbs the pocket, always looks to run away at the first sign of trouble. Stares down his receivers. Zero accountability & punchable face.

Exact same issues as Baker. Instantly sprints out of pocket, regardless of pressure - this IMO is partially because neither could read a defense.

He needs some of that Joe Burrow dawg mentality. That man has been abused in the pocket and never plays scared, which if he played 10% scared and threw the ball away once in awhile it probs wouldn’t be the worst thing

Oh shit he’s Ian Book

I've only really heard of the yips from Hayden Hurst. I recommend listening to his story

Link?

coming from someone whose mental health issues have hindered them from pursuing football/sports in general throughout their life, Hurst is a legend for this.

Lot of people trashing Zach who seem to have never watched him play. His biggest issue is missing the “gimme throws”. I don’t think he’ll ever be a legit quality starter in this league but whatever is going on with him is absolutely mental. I’ve watched every snap he’s played and it makes no sense why he misses the screens, dump offs, etc while also just not making any proper reads. In practice and college he made these passes. If that’s not mental then I don’t know what it is.

He has a lot more issues than just the gimme throws.

If he's missing/overthrowing checkdowns, screens, etc that's 100% footwork and mechanics

Maybe his footwork or arm mechanics changed? Only thing I can think of

I dunno I've watched a fair bit of him and he doesn't seem to do much right. Scrambling from clean pockets etc.

That’s, uh, pretty much a good description of the yips.

We have watched him play and he’s sucks. He’s always sucked in the NFL.

I’m no professional scout but it’s clear as day he can’t handle pressure and his confidence is shot because of it. Watch his college tape, he had clean pockets for days. Compare that to a shit 2021 Jets offensive line and it’s night and day. Even the best offensive line might not save him. He never keeps his eyes down field, he watches the pressure.

Slow reads and constantly drops his eyes to look at the rush which is an awful combo for obvious reasons

Seeing ghosts

Might have a subconscious hesitancy to fully use his injured knee, causing him to feel unstable and panic.

In other words, he sucks

Who would've thought Zach Wilson would have performance anxiety.

Is that like seeing ghosts?

Yes, but yippier

Somebody better call Zak Bagans

Maybe I don't understand the term, but if it goes back to his rookie season in the NFL, I don't think that's "the yips". It sounds like he's just not a good professional quarterback.

The yips is actually classified as a neurological disorder and is called focal dystonia. It is a problem with with your brains and nerves communicating. There are other sports where people have gotten the yips. There’s a lot of infamous instances of golfers getting it when putting.

Yea you don’t understand the term

You can’t have the yips if you were never good in the first place

Zach “Chuck Knoblauch” Wilson

I struggle with a case of the "not being very good for the entirety of my career" also.

He's got the suds

A case of the whats?

The “Yips” it’s a condition when you watch the Die Hard movies to many times and leads to you spontaneously yelling out “Yippee Ki-Yay Mother Fucker” at random times

“Yips” are when a player forgets how to excute a basic mechanic for no discernible reason, like a 2B being unable to throw to 1B cleanly, or being unable to shoot Free Throws all of sudden.

It's like QB herpes. It destroys your self-confidence and it's something you don't talk about unless you have to.

We don't say it!

Google “Barney Stinson Yips”

Seeing ghosts

[удалено]

Why is a QB with the yips such a foreign concept to you? It can happen across sports. Tennis players can get the yips where they are inexplicably unable to hit a serve anymore. It happens all the time across sports for reasons unknown.

I mean his senior year of college he was over 70% completion. He now routinely misses throws at the line of scrimmage. If thats not a mental issue I don't know what is.

Carson Wentz had the yips wym

I recommend Dr. Sharon Fieldstone. She did wonders for AFC Richmond last season, particularly after

And Shefter adds, "you both are hacks."

Pretty normal for young qb's who start feeling uncomfortable with everything they do once they face nfl competition. Their shortcomings bleed over to plays they'd make in college.

Yea he’s done. You don’t get rid of the yips

Maybe he should recite interviews he’s read in porno mags before making throws. Worked for a guy in Major League.

Well, Barney Stinson cured his yips by banging a cougar, so Wilson should be good again in no time.

Paging Chuck Knoblauch

He needs the therapist from Ted Lasso

The yips are prevalent in pro golf. Some great golfers have overcome it.

For those wondering, the academic and medical term is focal distonia - it's a worth a read

If the yips are psychological, why don’t they try a psychologist or some kind of hypnosis thing? It worked in Office Space!

We had our own Wilson, he was named named Matt Leinert. That dudes probably fat on a golf course somewhere right now.

Sam Darnold tried to warn us all. That stadium has ghosts!

Apparently they only come out when the Jets are on offense. And no other time

So when people said that Zach Wilson got that dawg in him, I guess they meant chihuahua?

This is another way to say that he sucks

I think he's struggled with a case of "terrible" since he was drafted

Buuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllllshhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiittttttttt

That is the loudest manure chant I have ever heard

Baseball and golf are the classic yips cases. Throwing is something where it can happen but Wilson has done nothing in the league so calling it yips is a bit generous.

I don’t think not being able to hit the checkdown is yips, he may just suck

Not being able to hit a checkdown is classic yips

You can’t have the yips if you never had “it”

A case of “has never been good enough to play in the NFL and people should have known this since he was only mildly successful at BYU”

Yeah it’s not a complicated answer lmao

😂 😂 😂 yeah, that’s what the problem is with him 👌

Wtf is a Yip.

Absolutely incredible work by Zach Wilson’s agent here. It’s not that he’s a bust who has failed on his own merits, it’s just that he’s had “the yips” for his entire professional career. I can’t believe they even tried to put that out there

It’s not a great PR move if he wants his career to survive. The yips are seen as largely incurable.

I don't know about you, but to me "the yips" is basically code for "too scared to play football in the NFL" so I don't think it's the positive leaning excuse you think it is

He seems pretty confident actually. Just makes bad choices confidently.

Does Jimmy Pesto have any underwear he can borrow?

I'm doin' a dance / 'Cause I got pesto in my pants

You don’t have the “yips” for two years.

Some might say he’s…seeing ghosts out there?

Is it a case of the yips or is it a case of being a bad NFL quarterback?

When's the last time he banged a mom? Somebody from NY get this guy his fix.

Shocking that a guy who never had to deal with pressure in college because he didn't play against anyone good struggled once he got to the pros.

Let’s not complicate this. It’s not the yips, he just sucks.

Yips? They should call it the sucks

What the hell are the Yips? Is that another term for seeing ghosts? Ive legit never heard this term before.

The Jets are going to Jet.

[удалено]

Didn’t have the yips he has a significant shoulder injury that still affects how he shoots to this day.

You mean, on the field or during interviews?

Yips how? Scared to make throws? Seeing ghosts? Any Jets fans know what’s meant by this lol?

Can you really call it the “tips” when he’s never been good? At what point do you just say he’s a bust?

Butt Fumbles, ghosts, yips... J.E.T.S.... yips. Yips. Yips. Yips.

More like a case of the "being bad at football"

He's seeing ghosts!

Is it really the yips if he never was that good?

Seeing Ghosts Out There 2: Electric Boogaloo

he doesn’t have yips.. he just sucks..

"Case of the yips" is such a degrading way to describe nerve issues for a young QB. Makes him sound like a tiny little puppy who can't stop peeing everywhere.

Young Indian Professionals at it again

Sure ok

Gotta check those mentals before you check your chicken

so are they secretly trying to move on from him after the season?

Can you call it the yips if he's never been anything but yip-ish?

The Markelle Fultz conundrum.

That milf drained his skills

This report came down the day he was benched why is it being reposted

What’s going on in Gotham? First Sam Darnold sees ghosts, now Wilson has the yips.

Yipes, he sucks

I’ve seen the yips with Jose Altuve in 2020. This Wilson guy just sucks.

YIP

I've been saying yips since last year I demand a prize

Bust 🗑 just a lil boy playing a mans game

Is it really the "yips" if it's really just how he normally is?

Kind of a roundabout way of saying, “this guy isn’t looking like a franchise qb”

Yips? He’s been missing the same easy throws since his first start. He hasn’t been able to hit swing passes in stride or screens at all. I’ve never seen the level of inaccuracy in an NFL qb and it is t something that started in the spring or this season.

I have brain yips

Ask Shawn Spencer

I thought it was a case of "the sucks."

I read yips and I think rick ankiel….and knoblauch

No shit sherlock…any jets fan who watched the games knew it was yips.

I thought "yips" was temporary, not a career defining trait over multiple seasons.

Need a version of the old "Sam Darnold--Mononucleosis" graphic.

Zach Wilson has struggled with a case of the busts since he was drafted.

You guys, you gotta make it sexy. Hips and yips! Otherwise I'm not eating.

Dartitis

I thought the yips were solely a kicking thing...

Y-I-P-S YIPS, YIPS, YIPS!

Thought this was a joke tweet because "yips" sounds like a made-up thing. But after looking into it, yikes. Hope it can be overcome.

Both Wilsons have the yips, they are best buds now.

His case of "not being a good QB" goes back farther than that, Albert.
