Liam Eichenberg was a big question mark on this Miami Dolphins offense headed into the 2022 season. So far he has shown this can still be an issue.

He was eaten alive by Calais Campbell and Justin Madubuike for most of the day and was bailed by Tua Tagovailoa making very athletic plays all over the field.

He had his stand-out moments for sure though. Moments where you see the special part of his game and why he was drafted so high in the 2nd round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

One of those big moments is when he pancaked a defensive back into oblivion on the 6-yard Jaylen Waddle TD reception early in the 2nd quarter. However, it seems that these bright spots are far outweighed by terrible plays and that is tough to watch as a Miami Dolphins fan.

He was run over on the Tagovailoa to Tyreek Hill touchdown pass, and was lucky Tua got the ball away quick of it was a likely sack coming right his way.

He can create holes in the run game, but this week will be his biggest challenge yet against a stout Bills front 7. Will he sink or will he swim?
