Yeah, the signal and posture definitely don't help with the overall impression one gets of that play.

Tell my trainees all the time to not bend over on a travel call. Why do they always think that the "bend over" is necessary?

I caught myself doing that on video this year. Fixed it overnight. Looked ten times worse on video than it felt in person. I might as well have been bowing to my sensei.

I think there’s a subconscious fear of one’s rolling arms being impeded by one’s torso, so leaning over makes it feel more natural. Have to get comfortable with extending your elbows out and standing tall.
