Wins, Not Foes, Drive Ward
September 24th, 2017
T.J. Ward not driven facing a rookie like Dalvin Cook.
It’s all about wins for Bucs safety T.J. Ward.
With all the accolades and rose pedals thrown at the feet of Vikings rookie running back Dalvin Cook, Joe wondered if that has irked Ward and if shutting down a rookie and putting him in his place fuels Pro Bowl Ward’s fire further.
Not at all, Ward said.
“We already have the motivation every week,” Ward said. “There is a different rookie [on the other side of the line of scrimmage] each week whether it is a wide receiver, tight end, a running back or an o-lineman.
“[Cook] is a good player or he wouldn’t even be out there. It doesn’t matter if he is a rookie. I am motivated by the game.”
So, no, Ward has no extra plans in order to put a rookie in his spot and give Cook a special welcome to the NFL.
Ward wants one thing, no matter how many games an opponent has under his belt in the league. Ward wants wins.

Denver was crazy to cut Ward for a paltry $4.5M. We are glad to have you TJ.
