Jags Coach Backs Titans QB Ward: 'Hitting His Stride'
12 Nov
Summary
- Jaguars coach Liam Coen supports Titans quarterback Cam Ward's development.
- Ward has had a difficult 4-21 start as a starter in his NFL career.
- Coen believes Ward is becoming more comfortable in the new system.
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen has publicly supported Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward, despite Ward's difficult NFL start. Coen, whose own team is performing strongly under quarterback Trevor Lawrence, drew parallels to Lawrence's early career development.
Coen noted that Ward has "just thrown for 300" yards and is "getting more and more comfortable" in the Titans' new offensive system. He emphasized the importance of patience with young players and praised the Titans for "staying the course."
Despite Ward's 4-21 record as a starter over his first 25 games, with 4,652 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, Coen sees potential. He highlighted Ward's ability to create plays, extend them outside the pocket, and his running capabilities.
Coen's positive remarks come ahead of the Jaguars' Sunday game against the Titans. This support from a rival coach, alongside unequivocal backing from figures like Robert Saleh, adds to the anticipation of whether Ward can eventually meet expectations.
