Titans' Mike McCoy Focused on Bettering Cam Ward Efficiency, Production
McCoy aims to reduce rookie Cam Ward's turnovers, tied for second most in the league, by empowering team leaders like Jeffery Simmons to boost energy and performance.
- On Tuesday in Nashville, interim Tennessee Titans coach Mike McCoy outlined a plan to help rookie quarterback Cam Ward and committed to changing the scheme weekly to support him.
- Through six games Cam Ward, rookie quarterback, has eight turnovers tying for second most, while Jeffery Simmons demanded a practice restart last week for low energy, McCoy said.
- McCoy pointed to his past work with quarterbacks and said he used positive reinforcement with Trevor Lawrence and coached Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers, lending experience to Ward's development.

- Now Mike McCoy has 11 games to show what he can do while the 1-5 Tennessee Titans need two wins to match last year's 3-14 record and Cam Ward's 24.9 QBR ranks 33rd.
