Former Crimson Tide quarterback Scott Hunter's advice to Tommy Rees and Jalen Milroe

Transcript

00:00 And my final question for you, Scott Hunter, is if you were giving advice to

00:04 Jalen Milrow or let's say the proverbial starting quarterback,

00:08 with the rest of the games on hand, you're two and one and just as you said,

00:11 the real season gets going this weekend as SEC play gets started.

00:16 What advice would you, if you had five minutes,

00:18 three minutes with the quarterback going into this weekend,

00:22 what advice would you give to the Alabama quarterbacks?

00:24 >> Well, let's go back to Tommy Reese.

00:28 If Tommy were to ask me, what can I do to get Milrow really

00:34 performing at a very successful rate, rate meaning play after play after play.

00:40 And I would say to Tommy, have a lot of three step,

00:45 two and a half to two second throws in space with post and

00:52 other kind of routes to the tight end and so forth.

00:57 Things that he can quickly read and quickly get the ball out of his hand.

01:01 And if he does a good job of that, his confidence level will grow and grow.

01:06 But he's not gonna be able to sit back there for three and four seconds and

01:12 take on the rush and deliver strikes very successfully.

01:18 And of course, if you can't, then your confidence goes downhill.

01:23 So it's kinda like playing the Pittsburgh Steelers back in my day.

01:29 You had plan A and plan B.

01:33 And plan A was everything's working fine.

01:35 We can go back five steps, hold the ball three seconds.

01:38 Plan B was, hey, we better get rid of that ball in two to two and

01:42 a half seconds cuz these guys are coming.

01:45 >> The steel curtain back there, mean, mean, mean defense back then.

01:49 That's the way I would try to prepare Jalen is give him a lot of quick reads and

01:54 quick throws that he immediately hits and picks up his confidence.

02:00 And he said, hey, I can do this.
