Terms of plays Milroe ran in preseason, they weren't going to show anything he was going to be running during the season. You aren't giving that away. I think you are making way too much as that being some sort of practice for the regular season. They are running those plays in practice, not preseason games.
If Milroe's value is in some sort of magic trick you have to avoid people seeing in preseason to work, it was a
turrible idea to start with. The fact is, since he's been on the Seahawks, we haven't seen but maybe one scramble
during preseason. The guy's not really a runner. True runners just end up doing it on a whim when the opportuinity
presents. Most of us are old enough to remember rookie Russell Wilson demanding with his play the starting QB
position for the Seahawks, against all odds. Russ ran all over the place during his preseason chances. It wasn't a plan,
it was who he was. Milroe is more like Seneca Wallace, who constantly received wishful thinking that he was going
to do something positive with his legs "because he's so athletic", but in a pinch all he did is run backward out of
bounds. Slow ass Hasselbeck was the better scrambler of the two.

If they insist on having Milroe on the active roster for a game, he should be playing special teams. Let him prove
his grit and willingness. Right now I see a scared kid who is going to fuck up and cost you. Why push that?
