Since I’ve seen some people saying that Pierce won’t be in on third downs, here he is blocking a blitzing linebacker by picking that man up completely like he was a child.

I know the hype fuel for my man is laced with uranium in fantasy circles already, but, one thing that doesn't get talked about enough is that in addition to being an insane runner, he blocks very, very well. I'm actually shocked that no one is talking about this block in particular. His stats were so gaudy that this part of his game is getting ignored completely and people are just assuming that he will be game scripted off the field when we are behind, but…. On this play, the blitzer has a full head of steam, Dameon steps up, drops low, grabs him and explodes up like he was in the weight room doing squats and tosses that man on his shoulder. We already know that he out squats linemen ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjQ35z1KWbM ), but he absorbed all that kinetic energy and redirected it while only barely being budged from his base. submitted by /u/Pugageddon |
