Ha, I watched this last night.
Right about the time he starts to explain how often DeBoer runs out of bunch formations, and the QB and WR needing to read the point, inside leverage, outside leverage, and topside defensive leverage, and then make the appropriate throw based on reading the coverage accurately pre/post snap,... I immediately began to SMH.
Speaking about identifying where the single coverage would be on a 3rd and long, and then execute an accurate throw to the boundary, he says, "does Bama have a QB that can do this?" "probably not" (I'm assuming no trust to throw into tight spaces based on our film study)
I know Mack is a young guy, but I simply can't see how the guy going into the second year of this system, and his ability to throw to all levels doesn't make him the favorite to win the position. Then there's the fact he's built like Cam Newton or Trevor Lawrence... anybody ?
ADay might be one of the most interesting games of the year.

Fantastic video and breakdown.
I don't think our tackles will be athletic enough to run all the concepts Washington did last year. However, both our primary backs excel at getting outside, which seems to be a staple of the offense DeBoer / Grubb like to use. It'll be interesting to see how they adapt to the personnel we have.
If Milroe is able to speed up his decision-making process and read the field appropriately, he would absolutely dominate in this offense. I think with his running ability we could get at least 4-5 yards whenever we wanted just by using motion and misdirection to open up an off-tackle run for him.
However, I have no confidence at the moment he can do this, nor do I think he'll be able to consistently complete intermediate throws over the middle. I hope I'm wrong; if he does those things well, we will score consistently on anybody.
As of right now, though, I think somebody else will win the QB1 role, based solely on the complexity of the offense.
