Milton, however, has yet to find his footing in his first stint in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys lost to the Baltimore Ravens, 31-13, in their preseason affair on Saturday. Milton failed to impress, throwing 9-of-18 for 122 yards and an interception. He was also sacked for a safety. He was outplayed by Ravens quarterback Cooper Rush, who served as Prescott&#8217;s backup for the last four seasons.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old Milton takes a bit longer to release the ball, which could make him susceptible to defensive pressure. Some have also called him out for being too aggressive with his throw. The signal-caller addressed the matter with a stern remark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t understand why people say I throw the ball so hard. I\u2019m literally not throwing the ball hard. It just comes off my hand like that. I was born and blessed that way. If you think I\u2019m throwing the ball hard, you shouldn\u2019t be in the NFL,\u201d said Milton, as reported by The Athletic&#8217;s Jon Machota.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"500\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Cowboys QB Joe Milton: \u201cI don\u2019t understand why people say I throw the ball so hard.

He was traded to the Cowboys in April in exchange for a fifth-round pick in this year&#8217;s draft.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Milton has struggled, Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said he isn&#8217;t too concerned, according to Pro Football Talk&#8217;s Charean Williams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou put a game plan together for these guys.

Joe Milton is in year two. I\u2019m not panicked,\u201d said Schottenheimer after their loss to the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys will face the Atlanta Falcons to close out their preseason schedule on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton had to remind everyone about a specific thing about being in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":81175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[872,54,1721,9],"class_list":["post-81174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-brian-schottenheimer","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-joe-milton","tag-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
