[He shouldn't buy into the taunt. Dave is well aware in close range, John's raw strength and lack of control could do some serious damage to his body. It wouldn't be his best friend's fault. He had been readied to some degree for the game but the discipline Bro made Dave impose upon himself is different, allowing them to pull hits that would have been deadly in other circumstances.
Besides, he isn't that stupid, John has a plan and he shifts on his feet and charges towards him. Yet he isn't coming at John head on. Bits of grass fly up as he bears down on him with all of his speed put into every drumming step. He needs to time this just right or he'd be right in John's grasp and everything would be over.
He aims for the right side with the idea that if he moves fast enough he can strike John's side in a pass and sweep around to strike at his back or to knock him down again. No matter what happens, Dave isn't going down without a vicious fight.]
