Pierce did look great. He gets to the line quickly and his first cut each time was good. Can lower his shoulder, too. Only have to temper the excitement a little since this came against what I assume is mostly the second-team Saints defense.
I didn't get flashbacks to Foster, style-wise I mean, so I assume Tillman is just trying to relate what he is seeing to the average Texans viewer. Pierce is a smaller guy than Foster. The similarities might just be that the Texans haven't had a back with the promise of Pierce since Foster.
