Titans QB Ward Feels Sped Up in Preseason Loss

Titans quarterback Cam Ward's initial preseason drive achieved a 95-yard score via a Tony Pollard touchdown. However, his subsequent performance saw the offense gain limited yardage over two more series. Head coach Robert Saleh commented that Ward appeared "sped up" in live action, a common adjustment for players facing live bullets for the first time. Saleh believes this is a correctable mechanical issue, noting the protection was adequate and Ward could improve his process.

Ward himself admitted to feeling "a little bit" sped up but felt he handled coverages well. He highlighted the team's strong run game, consistent with training camp, but stressed the necessity of improving the passing game. Both Ward and his receivers are focused on achieving better synchronization. The Titans have over a week to refine these elements before their next preseason game against the Seahawks, with hopes for a more composed performance from Ward.
