Sadly, I don’t have a cool clip of Liam Eichenberg flexing on the Falcons but that’s what happens when you’re an offensive lineman. Liam is used to it. Liam got inserted into the lineup around the mid-second quarter at right tackle for Jesse Davis and let’s just say that he may have taken the starting right tackle job by the horns ala White Goodman. He stepped well, sealed terrifically, and drove suckers off the ball like it was his job, which it is.

I imagine most of us have thought that the Dolphins have sort of swung and missed on Eichenberg based on how they were shuffling him all over the offensive line. But, based on how he performed against the Falcons at right tackle, I don’t know how you don’t put him at right tackle going forward. No need to overthink this. Plus, having Eichenberg as a starter means that he will be the first Miami Dolphin to start a game named Liam. Could be wrong about that but I don’t think I am. Let me know either way.
