The Golden Bear’s grandson http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-davon-godchaux-jersey , Nick O’Leary, didn’t become a Miami Dolphins TE very long ago. Yet, he logged 53 snaps this Sunday vs. the Chicago Bears. Here’s 12 of them in GIF form...(in chronological order)The TapeLeft uncovered. Makes the sure catch. Rumble, bumble, stumbles for a good gain. 1st down on the 2nd play of the game. Jesse Davis sustains his block juuuuuuust enough for Brock Osweiler to get it out into the flats. What if I told you Nick O’Leary and Danny Amendola would stonewall Khalil Mack and keep him 5 feet away from the QB on a snap before the game? You’ll see this “misdirection” block theme elsewhere in the tape study. Dolphins bring O’Leary in motion and use a misdirection block: a pull block across where the OL is going.He squares up with Khalil Mack, knocks him back a tad. Mack ends up making the tackle, but I also think if Frank Gore didn’t have to cut so far laterally, there was a crease inside (made possible by O’Leary knocking Mack off the spot). Lines up as a fullback. Gets outside of Eddie Jackson, shows the soft hands and lunges forward for the only score of the 1st half. He’s matched up with Leonard Floyd here. Love the 2 chop steps before he anchors for his block, able to square up. Knocks Floyd back a tad, but stays engaged with him long enough to make sure he doesn’t lay a finger on Gore.OK, big fella! OK! I see you!Aggressive play call here. He had a bunch of space in the flats, turns upfield, hurdles a dude (at 722 pounds of chiseled rock, that’s impressive), and gives the Dolphins much needed breathing room after Jordan Howard coughed up the fumble at the 1. 1-on-1 with Khalil Mack. Mack ends up making the tackle, but I really, really like O’Leary’s leverage here. He stays engaged with him, not once is O’Leary retreating or giving up momentum. Gore just happens to run right into Mack - Kenyan Drake bounces this run outside in all likelihood. At any rate, I think O’Leary handled this battle quite admirably considering he’s facing one of the most feared defenders in the entire NFL.He peels back to get Danny Trevathan here, able to get him sealed off despite not having the greatest initial “engagement angle”. Trevathan makes the tackle after he’s able to fight off O’Leary Cheap Raekwon McMillan Jersey , but it’s after a chunk yardage run. I’m gonna need some Aunt Jemima, because I just saw a pancake off to the far left against Leonard Floyd.Cool little trap play by the Dolphins. O’Leary has the wham block and stops the DT in his tracks.Motion him to a weak-I look. Gets a quick chip on the DT as he leaks out, and takes it for a nice gain.Same play as earlier, just later in the game and a better result. Misdirection block with O’Leary, he takes a different approach here by going low, and Drake takes it for a solid gain late in the game.ConclusionImpressive debut for the young man. With the injuries and lethargic road to the top for most rookie TE’s coming out of college, O’Leary filled a crucial niche in the offense and performed it well. He offers just enough as a receiver and remains completely fearless as a blocker. Having complementary TE play allows more of the playbook to be unveiled, and allows Adam Gase as a play caller to be more creative and use more formations.Dolphins at Panthers Preseason Week 2 TV schedule, online stream, odds, weather, more The Miami Dolphins’ 2018 preseason continues on Friday as the team heads north to visit the Carolina Panthers. The Dolphins are coming off a loss last week to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an entertaining game that featured some strong performances from some of the Dolphins players, but left some question marks still to be addressed before the regular season begins.The Dolphins shook things up this week, including releasing defensive tackle Gabe Wright after a fight at practice and the addition of veteran defensive tackle, and former Dolphins player, Kendall Langford. The team is also believed to be in the market for a cornerback, especially if the shakeup to the depth chart made this week, with nickel cornerback Bobby McCain sliding outside and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick assuming the slot duties, does not see improvement from the position group against the Panthers.Everything you need to know about the game is below:Miami Dolphins (0-1) at Carolina Panthers (1-0)Preseason Week 2August 17, 2018Game time: 7:30pm ETLocation: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte Cheap Kenyan Drake Jersey , North CarolinaWeather: 84藲F, Mostly cloudyMiami TV Coverage (via 506Sports.com): CBS (Miami and West Palm Beach); NBC (Fort Myers); ABC (Orlando)Miami TV Announcers: Dick Stockton, Bob Griese, Nat MooreCarolina TV Coverage (via 506Sports.com): CW (Charlotte, Myrtle Beach); ABC (Raleigh-Durham, Norfolk, Augusta); CBS (Greensboro, Charleston); NBC (Greenville NC, Greenville SC); Fox (Wilmington, Columbia, Roanoke, Savannah); My (Honolulu)Radio Network: Dolphins Radio Network, KISS 99.9 FM, WQAM 560 AM, WQBA 1140 AM (Spanish)Online streaming: Last year, SB Nation broke down all the cord-cutting options for NFL games and free trials are still available for most of these if you want to use them; NFL Sunday Ticket (paid DirecTV service - one-week trial); NFL Game Pass (paid service - shows preseason games live, replays of regular season games); The Dolphins have announced that they will stream preseason games on Dolphins.com for fans in the local markets.NFL Network Replay: Saturday, 6:30 am ETOdds: Panthers -3 | O/U: 43All-time record: Dolphins 4-2 (Regular Season)Most recent meeting: Panthers 45-21 @ Carolina (Week 10, 2017)Streak: Panthers 2 wins (2013, 2017); Dolphins 4-2 last sixEnemy blog: Cat Scratch Reader | Twitter: @CatScratchReadrPhinsider on Twitter: @ThePhinsiderPhinsider on FacebookDolphins 2017 SchedulePS Week 1 (Aug 9) - vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - L 26-24PS Week 2 (Aug 17) - @ Carolina PanthersPS Week 3 (Aug 25) - vs. Baltimore RavensPS Week 4 (Aug 30) - @ Atlanta FalconsWeek 1 (Sep 9) - vs. Tennessee TitansWeek 2 (Sep 16) - @ New York JetsWeek 3 (Sep 23) - vs. Oakland RaidersWeek 4 (Sep 30) - @ New England PatriotsWeek 5 (Oct 7) - @ Cincinnati BengalsWeek 6 (Oct 14) - vs. Chicago BearsWeek 7 (Oct 21) - vs. Detroit LionsWeek 8 (Oct 25) - @ Houston Texans (TNF)Week 9 (Nov 4) - vs. New York JetsWeek 10 (Nov 11) - @ Green Bay PackersWeek 11 - BYEWeek 12 (Nov 25) - @ Indianapolis ColtsWeek 13 (Dec 2) - vs. Buffalo BillsWeek 14 (Dec 9) - vs. New England PatriotsWeek 15 (Dec 16) - @ Minnesota VikingsWeek 16 (Dec 23) - vs. Jacksonville JaguarsWeek 17 (Dec 30) - @ Buffalo Bills
