Opposing Player Spotlight: Week 15. lis 2018 02:24 #1

2 Cheap Mike Gesicki Jersey , New York Jets The Dolphins are 1-0! The team held off the Tennessee Titans in a gritty home opener that gave fans some bright spots to be excited about. Now, Miami will travel up the East Coast to take on the New York Jets for week 2.Each week of the 2018 season, I’ll be highlighting one player on the opposing team that Dolphins fans should be watching out for. This week, that player is New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee.Fact CheckPosition: ILBExperience: 3rd seasonHeight/Weight: 6’1”,232 lbsAge: 23College: Ohio StateStat ReviewIn 2017, Lee played in 15 games for the Jets and started all of them as one of the team’s inside linebackers in Todd Bowles’ 3-4 defensive scheme. He racked up 94 tackles, three sacks, three passes defended, and two forced fumbles over that span.In last weekends’ opening game against the Detroit Lions Cheap Jerome Baker Jersey , Lee shined like the star the Jets were hoping he’d become when the team selected him in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Lee accumulated seven tackles, matched his 2017 season total with three passes defended, and recorded two interceptions, the first two of his career. He returned one of those picks for his first defensive score.Key MatchupsWith Lee lining up at inside linebacker alongside former Tennessee Titans standout Avery Williamson, the Dolphins will be looking to test New York’s new-look linebacking unit with both the run and the pass. As expected, Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore will be provide a mix of power and speed in the run game. With fans hoping Drake and Gore continue to build off of last week’s impressive showing, it’s the tight ends in the passing game that should provide some new intrigue.As our Managing Editor Kevin Nogle pointed out this week, the Dolphins used both A.J. Derby and rookie Mike Gesicki quite a bit against the Titans, with Gesicki being the only tight end to receive a target (he recorded one reception on two targets). Though Derby is a capable pass catcher Josh Sitton Jersey , it’s Gesicki’s blend of size and athleticism that could give Lee trouble in coverage. We saw from Lee’s performance against Detroit that he’s not one to be looked over when it comes to defending the pass, so his matchup against the uber-talented Gesicki will be one to watch. New England waived Kenny Britt on Wednesday, ending the wide receiver's underwhelming stay with the Patriots.Despite losing Danny Amendola in free agency and knowing Julian Edelman will be suspended for the first four games of the regular season, the Patriots let go of the 29-year-old Britt, who was with his fourth team. New England also had released Jordan Matthews and Malcolm Mitchell from its receiving corps.Britt caught two passes in three games for New England after joining it last December. He did not dress for any of the postseason games, including the team's 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII.The 30th overall draft pick in 2009 hurt his hamstring in June during minicamp and barely was a presence in training camp for New England this summer.Britt's inability to stay on the field this offseason limited his training time with 41-year-old quarterback Tom Brady during camp."It's just different stages at different times whether it's Kenny or other players," Brady said Wednesday prior to Britt's release. "You have set-backs with injuries and so forth and you don't get the work but when you are out there you just try to get up to speed as best you can, so spending extra time when you're available, I think that's important."Brady said his scheduled permitted him from working with Britt during the offseason.Britt spent the first five of his nine pro seasons with the Titans Womens Kenyan Drake Jersey , then played with the Rams for three years, and both the Browns and Patriots last season.The former Rutgers standout has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in a season once in his career, totaling 1,002 with the Rams in 2016.New England has 10 receivers remaining on its active following Britt's departure, two of them are newly-acquired veterans Cordarrelle Patterson and Eric Decker.
