Kalen DeBoer gives thoughts on Jalen Milroe's big-play passing ability after spring game
Kalen DeBoer met with reporters after Alabama’s spring game on Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa.
It was a successful A-Day for the first-year Alabama head coach. In the postgame press conference, he was asked about Jalen Milroe’s progression as a passer. Specifically, he was asked about Milroe’s quick-scoring ability which he showed off with a couple of lightning-fast scoring drives in the first half.
“It’s something that’s progressed throughout the spring,” DeBoer said. “It’s just timing, it’s confidence, it’s read progressions and things like that. And identifying ‘there’s my one-on-one. There’s my guy.’ Where to put the ball. So I think it’s something that has gotten to this point and it was great to see [Milroe] continue to take that next step and have that progression.
“So, the last week or two, I think that’s been pretty consistent. Early on, I can’t say any of the quarterbacks were just getting dialed in and those plays were being made.”
Downfield passing was not necessarily something that Milroe showed off last season in Tommy Rees’ offense. The Crimson Tide ranked 9th in the SEC in passing plays of 10+ yards last season.
However, that will be a crucial element to DeBoer’s offense at Alabama in 2024 and beyond. Last season at Washington, the Huskies led the country in passing plays of 10+ yards with 202 (about 13.5 per game).
Here’s an example of the Milroe finding receivers open in space during the spring game:

DeBoer referenced the importance of those explosive plays in his postgame comments.
“That’s what got the offense off to a hot start in the scrimmage, is those explosive plays,” DeBoer added. “And I love that we can come out of the locker room and kickoff happen and we’re ready to go.”

I just wanted to be first to psss off donke and prez. I got nothing else. CKD for coach of the year…
I just make fun of your obsession with Bama. You tried to focus on your team and did it for a couple of days. Nice try but the pain it caused brought you back like the alcoholic to liquor. Soothes the pain I guess. 27-24.
I tried to focus on my team…lol
Bless your heart donke. You are adorable.
33-18 got us a natty ring, how did 27-24 work out for you? Oh that’s right, 4th place rings
I guess I will have to live with a Bama SEC championship and keeping some other team from a 3-peat that some people said was a lock. Keep trying. Don’t give up on getting cured.
I don’t blame you for “settling”…with Goat Nick gone I think you are taking steps to be well prepared for Bama football in the Kalen Debore era…
Can I borrow a quarter, they have “glory days” as a selection on the WH jukebox
I can understand why you live on Bama articles desperately trying to relieve the pain Bama gives you. You were all ready to celebrate that 3-peat until it didn’t happen thanks to Bama. Already celebrating the win over Bama this fall? Just remember, I was the one that warned you how difficult it is to 3-peat. Bama has tried it 3 times and failed. Keep trying to focus on your team. You might get there one day. In the meantime, 27-24.
Dork plays the hall monitor role well. It’s all he’s capable of. Actually commenting on sports is way out of his league.
Donke is a special breed, no doubt about it, LSUSMC…truth be told I’m just really glad that some of Harvey Updyke’s offspring actually have found purpose in life. Hall monitor extraordinaire is quite the step up considering the straight line family tree.
Not as special as a bunch of Bama trolls that are controlled by all things Bama. Think about it guys. There are plenty of fans of your teams who never seem to feel the need to live on Bama articles like you two guys do. Negan and Doug have nothing on you guys. At least they are not in denial about their problem. Troll on guys. Everyone knows you have no control over it. Poor LH tried for a couple of days but alas his addiction overcame him once again. Keep trying though. I see I make you uncomfortable by pointing it out. Corndog I was going to disagree about Koolaid making the first round with you but it might get you upset so I didn’t. Try for two articles. I am betting you two can’t.
Scuza donke…one question por favor…if marine and I didn’t visit your page and chat with your peckergnatting arse, who would you have conversation with? I mean, it isn’t like any of the other Bama fans on this site have much of anything to say, do or discuss with you…is it your vision to have no comments on bammer articles other than you talking to you?
No dork, I’m screwing with you, not Alabama. You still aren’t Alabama, just the self appointed hall monitor. You still can’t actually make contributions to Alabama articles. Just the hall monitor.
Nah, you two are owned by Bama and do not have the capacity to stay off of Bama articles. You both prove it on just about every single Bama article. Neither of you even realize how pathetic it is to be owned by a team due to the pain Bama has caused you. Both of you get very upset when someone points it out. Plenty of comments on articles about your teams from fans of your teams that don’t do what you guys do. They are not owned by Bama like you guys who troll to relieve the pain. Really sad guys. Try to overcome it, that is if you can.
Rinse and repeat. This is all you are capable of. The halll monitor strikes again.
It does seem to get under the skin of this corndog troll.
Too bad you have this compulsion to constantly post about anything you see as bad news for Bama. If only you had the ability to stop it. Did you see that Kadyn Proctor re-entered the semi-annual portal and is coming back to Bama over going to another team? Somebody said it was annual but we both know it is semi-annual. Think there will be more this year?
I commented about the draft article about Alabama too. It was positive, so no need for the hall monitor. Pull your skirt up, you look ridiculous.
Notice how I do not chastise you on your occasional positive comments about Bama? It is only when you troll Bama which is constant. You look ridiculous commenting on every single Bama article. Just confirms the hold Bama has on you. Constantly whining about someone pointing out your trolling shows that you know you have a problem but cannot overcome it. Keep them coming. We both know you must keep trolling Bama.
You’re just the sensitive hall monitor. Nobody else in the Bama fan base has a problem with my comments but you. Truth is a very foreign concept to you. Get over yourself and grow up. You sound like such an immature child.
And you sound like the very sensitive troll who gets very upset when someone points out he is a troll. Call it what you want but it is clear this corndog does not like to be confronted with the truth.
So you’re sensitive and clueless. You aren’t sharp enough to upset anyone on this site. You’re just easy to screw with and you take the bait every time. It’s comical, and not the least bit upsetting. I haven’t said anything about Alabama in days, but here you are still throwing out your troll line. It’s all the hall monitor is capable of. Comical.
Sharp enough to get this corndog troll so riled up that he spends more time commenting on Bama articles than he does his own team. Now that would not be possible if Bama didn’t own him causing his trolling in the first place. Pointing it out gets him really really upset.
You don’t need to keep proving what a moron you are. I haven’t made a single comment about Alabama on this article. Every single one of my comments are about what a moron you are. You aren’t Alabama. You are the self anointed hall monitor. There is a difference. I know you aren’t bright enough to know that, so I will leave you alone for now and let you resume your hall monitor duties. You pretending you are defending Alabama when no comments have been made about them is just funny. For a guy pretending he had a post graduate degree, you aren’t bright. That makes it even more comical. You do a lot of pretending.
That is a Negan length diatribe from someone very upset about being identified as a Bama troll. As everybody knows you cannot handle it. The multiple comments just confirm the hold Bama has on you. There are a lot of corndog article commentators that don’t suffer the illness you have. Why the need to attack me on a Bama article if Bama does not own you? Wouldn’t your time be better spent sharing your incite with fellow corndogs about your team. Oh, I forgot you have no control over it. Keep em coming for additional proof of it.
You really can’t read. For about the third time, I have not made a single comment about Alabama here. Not one. Ask your mom to read this nonsense and watch the look on her face. Then again, I’m sure she already knows what a moron you are.
All you did is add your troll two cents when I called out your fellow troll Humper. Just couldn’t stay away from something that didn’t involve you could you. That just goes to show how much Bama controls you. Why did you have to get involved? Because anyone that calls out one troll you must protect that brotherhood of trolls. Both you and LH have it really bad. Must keep coming back. You have to keep coming back. This really is a lot just to protect another troll. Even for you.
You should have shown your mom your comments instead of making another dumb you. You just can’t help yourself. Stupid is as stupid does. Carry on.
I thought Negan had it bad but it looks like a corndog is the new troll king.
Says the guy that has no control over his Bama jealousy. The troll brotherhood is strong. One troll taking up for another. This corndog taking up for the troll brotherhood. No comments about Bama but the urge to troll Bama is strong. I am sure Humper appreciates your troll support. After all, soothing the pain Bama gives you all is a unifying goal. Troll on. We both know you have no control over it.
I still haven’t made a single comment about Alabama on this entire thread. You keep trying to cover your stupidity by making this about them. It still isn’t. It’s about you. What a dense moron you are. You can’t state a single fact. I still haven’t trolled Alabama. I’m just screwing with you. You’re too dense to understand this very obvious scenario, so I’ll leave you be. Idiot.
No, it is about one troll coming to the defense of another troll. Humper clearly trolls Bama constantly. I called him out for it once again. Here comes super corndog troll to the rescue. Why so defensive about Humper troll? Oh yeah, it applies to you as well with many negative comments about Bama in the past. You guys don’t like to be called out for it and stick together. Way to go to come to Humper’s defense. I am sure he appreciates the troll unity. Troll on corndog. It just confirms how much Bama owns you.
Keep moving the goalposts moron. You should go back and read your comments on this thread. You have continually changed the reason for your angst. It’s just comical how twisted you are. Let your mom read your nonsense. Watch her face as she does it. Nah, you’re still too dense to get it.
Seems somebody is getting mad when it is pointed out they came to the defense of another troll. Here you are making dozens of comments on a Bama article. Throwing a fit because someone points out that you are a troll defending another troll. If only you could put as much effort into your own team. Course we both know the reason you have to live on Bama articles. Same as Humper, Ron, Doug and your mentor Negan. Losing your temper over this would never happen unless you know that what I am saying is true. Keep proving me correct.
You are our village idiot. Every village needs one. You’re not even one of the so called useful idiots. Just an idiot. I like LH. He’s a good guy. You’re just a little prick so I like screwing with you. I still haven’t trolled Bama at all. Just the little prick.
And I post all over this site. Nobody else has a problem with it. Only the little prick. I’m well versed enough in sports to do this. You can only be the hall monitor. Good stuff.
It is clear that your temper tantrum is evidence that you don’t like being called out for trolling or supporting other trollers like Humper. At least he admits he is a troller. Why did you even join this comment string that began with a Humper troll? You guys do stick together when it comes to trolling. The fact that you spend sooo much time on a Bama article clearly shows how much pain Bama causes you. The temper tantrums on Bama articles easily confirm your troll status. Most people would just move on rather than defend the troll Humper. Keep em coming for additional proof of it.

You would know. Reading your drivel tells us all we need to know about you Deliverance boy.
