JB/Dake: Just A Takedown Away

When Kyle Dake met Jordan Burroughs in the finals of the U.S. Open it was a positional chess match. Neither athlete wanted to give up position so the only scores were on step outs and shot clock violations. Considering how well each wrestler is coached it'd be hard to think that they would go into the World Team Trials in Lincoln and not try and fix the fact that they didn't get a takedown. I've watched the footage that Dave Elias so graciously provided in slow motion (in case you're wondering the match takes about 38 minutes to get through at 25%) and it gives you a bit of a different perspective on the match. The way that I see it if one of these guys is going to break through for two here are small things that they can do.
