From the Philadelphia Inquirer re: Molk
"I think David's been with us long enough now that he understands the calls, understands where the point needs to be, and he's had enough game experience under his belt to where he's really confident now, the guys trust him," Kelce said. "I think he's just a very resilient guy who's been in a lot of tough situations before. I think a guy who's had a lot of adversity throughout his life [including losing his mother, Gail, to breast cancer when David was in the seventh grade], and he's overcome it each time . . . He's done a great job in here, being thrust into a very difficult situation. He's only gotten better every single week."

Beat writers, freshman player's chests and uh...yeah that's probably about it.

You should contact Chip Kelly immediately to let him know that he's making such a big mistake. I'm sure he'll give you a good hearing.

He's playing because he was the backup center for the team. He made the team, he wasnt brought up from the practice squad to play center. He's in because Kelce is out.

Molk shits naysayers like you for breakfast.

Molk is listed at 290 lbs. In the last decade, Matt Birk, Nick Mangold, Ryan Kalil, Dan Koppen, Olin Kreutz, Kevin Mawae, Chris Myers, Tom Nalen, Jeff Saturday, Max Unger, Scott Wells, and Casey Weigmann have all been selected for Pro Bowls as centers. None of them weighs more than 300 lbs, and several are lighter than 290. The idea that Molk isn't big enough is bullshit.

Tell a pit bull that it's not big enough.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog.

It's men like Molk that make me proud to be a Michigan Wolverine.

I still chuckle with glee at the moment when Molk supposedly said, "I like to hit people really fucking hard." Hopefully, he gets numerous chances to do that in the NFL through starting like he has been lately. Great to see him trying to take advantage of the moment here.

He said it. The video evidence was conclusive before that youtube account was taken down. It's probably out there somewhere, but I wouldn't recommend searching for videos with those key words without the 'safe search' on (huge molk jugs?). Transript here (maizenbluenation).
Seemed like a cool guy who was maximizing his talent and just loved playing the game.

Molk is a pretty undersized center and he will never be sure-fire starter. However, he has done a fairly decent job filling in for Kelce in Chip Kelly's offense, which emphasizes speed and brains. I can see him being the back-up center on the Eagles for awhile.

He has shown improvement since he has taken over the starter's role and the coaches are utilizing his skill set properly.
October 23rd, 2014 at 9:19 PM ^
The guy is a baller and I wish he could get cloned so we could have an OL made up of all Molks. I hope he has a long, productive and healthy NFL career.

Their O-Line coach is an asshole in Philadelphia. I work in East Lansing, the O-Line coach for Philadelphia is Jeff Stoutland and he use to coach at MSU and Alabama. He was neighbors with a guy I work with and he still talks to him. The guy complained that he had to use a munchkin from Michigan as his center with a all the injuries he had. Just goes to prove the type of class MSU breeds. I hope Molk stays the starter and makes the coach look like a fool.

Just good stuff. It's great seeing him succeed in the NFL. One of the few recent Wolverines to do so.
