With the cowboys facing the Los Angeles Rams at the Sofi stadium, Milton should see the majority of offensive shots, and although we all know that he can do from a physical point of view, is the smallest details of the position that Dallas wants to see.
And for Brian Schottenheimer, more importantly, he wants to see how Joe’s internal clock follows the Rams.
“The last two days, I would say, has been her two best days to understand the time clock”, ” Schottenheimer said. “The best quarters in the world, they listen to their feet because their feet tell them when eliminating your progress and when to reach your outlet or when you have to take off and run. You literally talk about listening to your feet.

“I speak, as accord, my first hitch tells me that I have a little time. This second hitch happened, you are like, okay, I have to do something now because I used my time clock.
Milton will play for the first time since week 18 of last season against the Buffalo Bills, where he launched for 241 yards and a touchdown, with 22 for 29 (75%), while rushing for 16 yards and a touch.
With Schottenheimer already declaring that the cowboys will not show anything in pre-season, expect the match plan to look like vanilla, but always, seeing how Joe exploits the “car” as Schotty called him, will be unavoidable.

Already considered the safeguarding of Dak Prescott ahead of Will Grier, Milton has a good chance of further solidifying his position, while showing the world of football that it is more than backflips and a storage coil.
The chance to prove that it is an “appropriate” quarter-arre has come.
