Dameon Pierce's Week 2 performance 'something to build on' for Texans
Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills praised running back Dameon Pierce for his Week 2 performance, calling it "something to build on."
Head coach Lovie Smith reinforced Mills' comments, saying, "I thought Dameon did some good things when he had an opportunity to carry the ball." Pierce played well behind teammate Rex Burkhead in Week 1, but was the clear lead back in Week 2; Burkhead finished their second game without a single carry.
Pierce carried the ball 15 times for 69 scoreless yards in Week 2 and caught his lone target for another 8 yards. The Texans' offense may not be one of the most reliable sources of fantasy production this season, but Pierce does seem to be establishing himself as their primary running back just two weeks into the season.
