From the article

Milroe, a third-round pick last season who has played just three regular-season snaps, remains an unproven commodity. But the Seahawks might also feel as if he could have gotten rid of the ball more quickly a few times. The Seahawks wouldn't find it easy to move on from Milroe just a year after taking him in the third round. But it's fair to say they'd like to see more from him in the next two preseason games.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Third-round pick Milroe showed leg mobility but held ball too long; unproven after three snaps.

Milroe, a third-round pick last season who has played just three regular-season snaps, remains an unproven commodity. He was 5 for 8 for 36 yards and ran five times for 36 yards. Milroe wasn't helped by offensive-line struggles but was smart to run a few times. However, the Seahawks might feel he could have gotten rid of the ball more quickly at times, particularly on a sack for a 14-yard loss on fourth down from the 1-yard line. Coach Macdonald noted there were spots where Milroe held the ball but praised his ability to extend plays with his legs. The Seahawks wouldn't find it easy to move on from Milroe just a year after taking him in the third round, but they'd like to see more from him in the next two preseason games.
