Okay,  I think that you've misunderstood my post. Daniel pivoted into Talon's momentum, rotating his body towards his own left side.

Daniel obviated the setup by simply pivoting into the dragon's charge, throwing all of its focused weight to his left as he turned like a door, and forcing its momentum back against the pillar behind him.

Furthermore, Talon should retain at least some momentum, based on the fact that he charged at Daniel. If that's absolutely not the case and Talon attempted to collect himself before grabbing the shield, there was no mention that he attempted to make his footing solid after his charge. Because of this, it's not unreasonable for Daniel to move Talon back as long as Talon's got a good grip on the shield, since Talon weighs roughly 400-500 pounds.

His strength is such that he can toss weights of up to five hundred pounds with relative ease, can push or kick loads of up to half a ton without apparent strain

Talon should definitely be able to react if Daniel resists the shield push, which he is, but that can't be done in the same instant as grabbing the shield, per:

Talon once again dashed forward to meet his opponent, but this time he did not intend to have a contest of brute strength.
