Dameon Pierce is frequently surrounded, boxed into close quarters by defenses stacking the line of scrimmage with bad intentions and a strategy built around a singular purpose. AaronWilson_NFL
A top NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate who has outgained Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III , Pierce has become something of an afterthought in the offense in the past two weeks as they were outscored by a combined margin of 50-0 against the Dolphins and Commanders in the first half. He had five carries against the Dolphins as the Texans gained just 36 rushing yards and 10 carries against the Commanders as they had a season-low 21 rushing yards.
The Texans know they have to alter their approach and they have to do a better job of opening up holes for Pierce. “I think the coaches are doing a good job getting the game plan ready for the run game this weekend,” right tackle Tytus Howard said. “We’ve got to block them, and I know DP will handle the rest.”
“A lot of the yards he’s gotten have been yards after contact. It’s hard to maintain a certain level throughout an NFL season. We have time to get it right. Hopefully, we’ll see that.” Pierce hasn’t pointed any fingers or gotten discouraged. If anything, he has maintained his positive attitude and continually praised his offensive line.
“Obviously, if teams do something good against us, the other teams are going to copy cat and put it in their repertoire and implement that against us. But we just have to start finding counters to the stuff that people are going to do to us, because we’re changing our tendencies. We’re trying to do tendency breakers. We just trying to get a better flow on offense.”
