Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce will be part of a "one-two punch" with RB Joe Mixon, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans. "What I have seen from Dameon this offseason is a guy who has put in the work," Ryans said. "I see Dameon having a very clear head space as we are out working, and I think that will allow him to have a really productive year this year. He has everything it takes to be a really good running back for us, and I think him and Joe as a one-two punch would be very beneficial for us all." Huddle Up: Pierce has yet to live up to that second-round draft status, largely because of injuries, and he has a proven, consistent back ahead of him. He'll see his chances, and while he has been pretty healthy in his career, Mixon is aging in terms of the position. Pierce will be a must-handcuff to Mixon and an RB4 on his own.
