From the article

he showed a lot of the same issues that gave him problems last year. There were a couple of layup throws that he missed because he didn't set his feet or didn't put any touch on the pass. His footwork was supposed to be one of the things he really focused on this offseason. He also had a couple of plays where he hung onto the ball too long and took an unnecessary hit. There was also a play where he ran backwards and then tried to throw the ball away, but it slipped out of his hand, resulting in an intentional grounding penalty.

Ward repeats footwork, decision-making issues in preseason debut despite offseason focus

Second-year Titans QB showed recurring mechanical issues in preseason opener against San Francisco: missed layup throws due to poor footwork and lack of touch, held the ball too long and took unnecessary hits, and threw an intentional grounding penalty on a backwards scramble. These same problems plagued him last year despite offseason footwork focus. While source cautions it's early and attributes some mistakes to first-game jitters in new system, the pattern of unforced errors raises concern about whether mechanical improvements materialized.
