  "account": "Carnell Tate, the Tennessee Titans' top-five draft pick and standout rookie wide receiver, has not caught a pass in recent practices against the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. Despite this, quarterback Cam Ward reassures that Tate is not experiencing a cold streak. Ward emphasizes Tate's resilience and positive attitude, noting that the quarterback never points fingers at others, even when facing adversity. Tate is described as a hard-working player who never lets frustration show, always coming back with a strong determination to succeed on the next play. The Titans coach highlights Tate's high-pointing ability and his eagerness to catch passes thrown his way. Although the quarterback targeted Tate only twice in a recent practice, he still managed to complete 20 of his 26 passes, throwing two touchdowns. The team's focus is on finding ways to get Tate more opportunities to make plays, as they are confident he will continue to be a key reason for the Titans' offensive success.",
