It seems as though the coaching staff wants him to use his athleticism more; to use his blinding speed to help keep the plays moving. While it seemed as though he was able to do so in practice, he faced challenges in the preseason game versus the Cowboys. In the red zone, he was not able to convert a single touchdown, even when the special teams was able to get them within right in the sweet spot, failing to convert on a fourth and goal, sacked in the pocket.

Coaching staff pushing Milroe to use his speed more despite red-zone struggles in preseason.

The coaching staff is encouraging Milroe, the third-string quarterback, to lean into his athleticism and blinding speed to keep plays moving.

Despite the setback, the coaching staff expressed pride in his development, with Jake Peetz encouraging him to continue fighting and using his tools.
