Tennessee Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy met with the media Tuesday for the first time since Brian Callahan was fired, and the 53-year-old highlighted Cam Ward’s turnovers as a problem with the offense.
“That’s one thing we have to clean up,” McCoy said of the rookie quarterback’s mistakes, according to the Nashville Post’s John Glennon. “When something comes up and you see kind of what happened in the game, where there was some drifting, and then the ball security in the pocket. Things like that we got to clean that up. That’s our job as coaches, and that’s the challenge every week. … That’s what we love to do.”
Ward has shown flashes of success during his first six starts since entering the league as the first overall pick, but the beginning of his NFL career has largely been rough. Out of 34 qualifying quarterbacks heading into Week 7, Ward ranks last in EPA/play, according to Ben Baldwin’s database.
