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.

It was there for the taking last season.
I simply couldn't understand why we refused to take it.
Then interview after interview Milroe states "I'm a pocket passer" "I don't practice running" - rose bowl "I came here to throw the ball."
Claims to be a pocket passer, but inadvertently drifts out of the pocket directly into harms way all season for 15yd loss sacks ! It's laughable.

It's probably a three way battle between Simpson-Lonergan-Mack I would guess
Milroe has the arm to make these throws but he's so far behind on the actual processing for it that I don't think it happens without a a significantly dumbed down offense like last year. I don't see DeBoer running a Gus Malzahn offense with the QB room we have, especially year one where he has to be successful
