NASHVILLE -- The No. 1 pick looked exasperated.
Cam Ward and his Tennessee Titans offense had just completed a dud of an Aug. 3 practice while coach Brian Callahan, standing directly behind his players during sprints, blared his disappointment with profanity. The day's errant throws, missed protections and dropped passes were all on Callahan's mind.
Minutes later, as assistant coaches and players scattered, Ward could be seen locked into conversation with Callahan at midfield, sometimes motioning with his hands in animated fashion. The quarterback and coach discussed the root causes of the day's miscues for about 10 minutes.
