Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Derrick Ward was back at practice with his teammates on Tuesday. Ward missed the offseason practice on Monday, but head coach Raheem Morris said that Ward would be attending the voluntary practices this offseason. Last year Ward ran for 409 yards on 114 carries with one touchdown and averaged 3.6 yards per carry, and also caught 20 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. Ward was asked if he was disappointed that he was not the feature back last season. “I’m a ball player so I want to be on the field. I want to get the carries, and be able to contribute and help this team win,†said Ward. “I was a little disappointed last year that I wasn’t able to do that, but I have to take a look back and again where we were from Week 1 to Week 17 and I saw us make strides throughout the whole year. Like I said, this year is new and hopefully I’ll be able to contribute more and get on a winning track. My mindset wasn’t down or anything, I was just taken aback by the way we were losing,†said Ward. “I’m not used to losing, especially the first seven games. I came from New York and we were winners every year, so I had to take a step back and look at my surroundings and take a look at myself and re-evaluate myself. This year I’m coming back stronger. My work ethic is to a T, and I’m ready to go.†Source: PewterReport.com
No heck you, I'm frustrated with how you roded over my fantasy team last year. Worry 'bout that, snitch.
