The first selection of NFL Draft 2025 is not happy with the offensive performance of its Titans, and emphasizes that everything begins with himself.
Nashville, Tennessee – after two days of a disappointing game by the offensive of the Tennessee Titans, The rookie field marshal Cameron Ward He had some reproaches about your performance.
“I think that We are very mediocre right now“Ward said Wednesday.” In the end, everything starts with me. “
Ward was intercepted by the corner Roger McCreary on Wednesday. The interception occurred through a diverted pass from the supporter Cody Barton. Ward was intercepted three times on Tuesday, adding four in the last two practices. While not all were his fault, Ward said he has to play better.
“I have to be in tune with my receptors, see more videos and be more precise with the ball,” Ward said.
The defense has had the advantage in both training with protection. Ward had difficulty completing field passes down, which has normally been one of its strengths. Connected with the receiver Calvin Ridley In a deep pass that was among the deep Amani Hooker and the corner Darrell Baker Jr. Another deep Ward pass could have been complete, but the second year receiver Jha’Quan Jackson He could not catch the precise pass on a 'post' route.
The Titans coach Brian Callahan said before the training that he expected Ward to recover. “It's simply its nature,” Callahan said. “I feel very sure how will he respond to any negativity in general.”
The initial adversity is a good test for Ward, who will surely face more difficult moments when trying to guide an offensive that scored just 18.3 points per game last season. Something that Callahan likes is the control Ward has of the attack. Ward said he feels fluid with the play book, but he has to improve in the synchronization and placement of the ball towards the receptors.
“It may not be where I wanted to be, but I throw 15 or 16 different people every day,” Ward said.
That is why he stays with them after training to make additional repetitions. Ward spent extra time with the veteran receiver Tyler Lockettthe rookie Xavier Restrepo and the second year receiver Bryce Oliver. Ridley is usually one of the receptors that Ward works after training, but Ridley suffered a slight injury at the bottom of the leg and was taken to the hospital for an additional evaluation, according to the Titans.
