Titans Coaches Say They Remain Confident in Cam Ward After Accuracy Issues in OTAs

Tennessee Titans coaches stated Tuesday they still believe Cam Ward is the right quarterback for the team and have full confidence he will be fine. "Every quarterback is going to miss a couple here and there," first-year head coach Robert Saleh said. Saleh added that even Brock Purdy, one of the most accurate quarterbacks in football, misses throws during practice.

Cam Ward has had some accuracy issues at times during OTAs over the past couple of weeks. Ward is still learning a new offense and getting acclimated to new receivers Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson. Ward said there is a feeling-out process between himself and his new pass catchers that can only be eliminated by getting more reps.

He said he is trying some new things during practice that he eventually wants to take to game day. "Every play," Ward said when asked how much he is experimenting. "It just depends what coverage our defense presents.

Ward had a better day during the start of minicamp on Tuesday, including a couple of very tight window throws to Tate and Robinson. New Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said the team is making good progress. "You have to make the mistakes, and you have to see it," Daboll said.

"But I'm very pleased with where he's at; he understands the offense well. I think his feet are really good.
