Yahoo Sports NFL on Joe Milton
From the article
"Probably the touch that he was throwing the ball with," Schottenheimer said. "He's playing quarterback at a high level. He's checking the ball down. He's making blitz adjustments. He's solving problems. He's reading from his first, second to third, and even fourth progression at times."
STACKED’s take
Milton impresses Schottenheimer with touch, poise, and progression reads in preseason; competing for backup role.
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Milton's growth in touch and poise during the first two preseason games, crediting improved command and understanding of Dallas' offense in his second season working together. Schottenheimer emphasized that Milton has progressed from relying on arm strength to playing quarterback at a high level—checking down, making blitz adjustments, solving problems, and reading progressions from first through fourth options. Milton completed 21 of 28 passes (75%) for 286 yards and three touchdowns across the first two preseason games, including a 53-yard touchdown to Jonathan Mingo in the Week 2 win over Arizona. However, Milton is competing with free agent Sam Howell for the No. 2 quarterback job behind Dak Prescott.
