Brandon Bye: The High-Speed Outlet
He brings a directness that changes the geometry of the pitch.
One aggressive overlap forces a defender to choose, step out or stay home, and either way it opens a new lane for the attack. His defensive work matches the attacking intent, which keeps the flank from turning into a trade of chances. That balance is what makes him so valuable across a long season. When Portland want to pin a team back, his running helps make it stick.
