Eagles article on Molk's chances of making 53-man roster

Submitted by EastCoast Esq. on

Dave Spadaro, who works for PhiladelphiaEagles.com, wrote a nice article today on the "former Michigan standout" and his (now good) odds of making the team. This has been posted about already, but it's nice to see a piece that focuses on David Molk's strengths and why he should fit into Chip Kelly's scheme. The article also has an interview of Molk.

I wrote in longer form in the mod sticky but if we run into a OT tag that isn't OT we're just going to go ahead and remove it. Nothing personal to anyone, just trying to get it right and don't think it rises to an actual mod edit of an OP for needing to explain ourselves.

Molk isn't off topic because he's a former player with big-ish news surrounding him.

Count me in the group that feels the OT tag is completely pointless and redundant in the first place. "OT: Jay-Z and beyonce adopt a pet marmot" or "Jay-Z and beyonce adopt pet marmot." Is there any added value?

He looked fantastic in the most recent game. He really moved well in a system that requires it and showed the footwork to wall guys off in the hole that made him so special here.

by the Pats.  Neither he nor Gallon got much if any playing time due to "undisclosed injuries," but Gallon is now listed as active, so maybe he'll get some time in the last pre-season game.  Cam did get practice time early, so maybe he showed enough for them to keep him on IR.

Molk making the team is pretty much a done deal. I'm an Eagles fan. The Eagles just waived backup center Jusin Vandervelde and reached an injury settlement with him. Molk actually had a great chance of making the team had Justin not got hurt. The injury just solidified it.
