Diagnosing defense happens PREsnap. The problem with Milroe is that he's reactive to what the defense does postsnap. He has ZERO idea what the defense is doing presnap. This is the reason he gets sacked so much. Not the O-line. Pass rush can be neutralized in many ways. But you have to have an adaptable qb. Milroe isn't that guy. He's soft, too. I didn't 100% realize that until today.

If you’re talkin second half sure, but there’s not a QB short of Mike Vick who could’ve survived with the pressure Milroe got first half. That was horrendous OL play
Michigan wouldn’t have blitzed as much if they were scared of our QB taking advantage. The OL looked worse than it was due to us not having a QB that can read blitzes and hit the open guy. He trusts his legs too much and tried to escape way too many times rather than using his arm to beat the blitz. 1st half would have looked a lot different with Tua or even Mac at QB.

It would be easier to name those who wouldn’t.

If Milroe had the O Line that any of our other QBs had we probably would have won.
Fact.

Any other C off those teams we wouldve won.
Also a fact.

While I agree with every word of this, the OC didn't help at all. BAMA was roasting the edges.
Did we run the pop-pass to Bond or Law at all? Did we try a wheel route all game? Where did the quick slant go?
Where, for the love of Christ, is Niblack? I know they aren't popular anymore, but why not try a screen pass to a rb? Something to loosen that fricking relentless pass rush in the 1st half. Rees did nothing to help Milroe. The only success BAMA had in the 2nd half was because Michigan adjusted their defense foolishly.

Completely agree. It’s like we called the first half thinking Milroe was good at reading defenses.
With a defense as good as Michigan’s, you only have to guess right once in a drive to put a team behind the sticks and shut a drive down. It was way too easy to guess what we were going to do in the first half and Milroe couldn’t “take what the defense was giving him.” They could just run blitz and adjust to getting to the QB if he didn’t hand it off.
No slants, quick outs, hot routes to the TE, etc. We finally tried a WR screen but our OL is too slow to block guys downfield.
All that said, we still would have won the game without the bad snaps or Milroe fumble (or defense picks off one of the tipped passes on the last drive). Heartbreaking

If Milroe couldnt get away from that rush I dont think many of our other qbs could have.
I think this is a misconception. Milroe is fast... The fastest 100m time of any QB we have had but that doesn't make him elusive. But also those guys could hit hot routes... Guys were able hit crossing /quick slants in voided areas..before the pressure got to them. Now is that a Rees issue or a Jalen issue? but to me that seems like a standard if X do Y thing and as such a Milroe issue

Did you not see the replays? When Milroe was getting sacked the wrs hadnt even turned around yet they were getting there so fast. We have to give some credit to Michigans pass rush, its the best we had played against in a long time.

Are you serious? Blake Sims is a lot better than Milroe, and Sims isn’t great.

Truth. It blows my mind that some of these posters think that the reason Ewers and Penix are so much better than Milroe is because their o-line is so much better than BAMA's. It's borderline retarded.
Penix is playing out of his mind BTW. That last td was a fricking laser.
