0:00What I'm nervous about is that this has
0:02to be Cam Ward's rookie season all over
0:05again. Kind of like it was for, you
0:07know, like Bryce Young in year two. This
0:10is a totally new system that he's in
0:11with a totally new coach after his head
0:14coach got fired halfway through that
0:16season. And that showed up. I get look
0:18like Cam Ward was out there taking his
0:20first snaps in the NFL. It was rough. I
0:22mean, he missed that RPO to the left on
0:24a high throw to Wandale. Like you said,
0:26he missed Cole Kmet that speed out. He
0:27didn't put it on the body of Wandale on
0:29the RPO slant, then missed Equanimeous
0:31St. Brown on another slant and nearly
0:33threw a pick on the next play. And then
0:35maybe most notably is the retreating in
0:38the pocket. And he just kept retreating
0:40and retreating and retreating. And this
0:41is something that we saw at Miami where
0:43he kind of wouldn't let a bad play die
0:46that he would turn negative plays even
0:47worse. Will Levis did that in 2024 this
0:49Titans team? We saw it last season as
0:51well with Cam Ward. And you would hope
0:53that at the very least you can eliminate
0:56those snaps going into your second year.
0:59And he didn't. So, he just doesn't look
1:01comfortable.
