Pats claim CB Antwaun Molden

[CrazyDave]

Can he return kicks?

Can he return kicks?

Apparently he is a good ST player.

Regardless of Merriweather's status with the team, I thought this excerpt on his 2008 draft card from nfl.com was interesting.



National Football League: NFL Draft 2011 - Antwaun Molden

Here's how NFLDraftscout (via CBSSportsLine) saw the CBs:
NFL Draft - 2008_CB Draft Prospects - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com
They seemed to like Molden more as a FS than CB, due to poor recognition skills
& (or because of?) lack of experience.

And here's how TFYDraftInsider (via SI) saw them:
SI.com - 2008 NFL Draft - Breakdown by Position - CB
They also mentioned Molden's poss. switch to FS to better take advantage of his size & speed.

As an aside, notice where both services (& others) ranked Wheatley & Wilhite by comparison,
compared to where both were taken. Inexcusable.

Ahhhhhhhh, now it all makes sense.

The missing link for this season was Antwaun Molden. Now that he's ours.... the sky is the limit.

This is what we've been waiting for. Book it.

 

[captain stone]

Just what is the point of this brilliant acquisition? The dreaded W's were both better than this guy.

That's almost a near-impossibility.

 

[captain stone]

Hayden sucks.

Worse than Butler, Arrington or Molden?

 

[ropese]

Worse than Butler, Arrington or Molden?

Thank you Captain. My point exactly. Although you wonder why the other teams he worked out for did not pick him up...this guy has starting experience (incl. playoffs) and would have been an excellent depth signing.

 

[NinjaZX6R]

Worse than Butler, Arrington or Molden?

I say, talking to Colts fans and watching him play last year, he is = to Butler, worse than Arrington and I have never ever heard of Molden till today lol.

If you watch the Colts Pats 2010 game, he always gave up a 10 yard cushion. Colts vastly overpaid a cover 2 zone cb.

 

[captain stone]

I wish that Hayden had given a 10-yd cushion to BugEyes Caldwell in the '06 AFCC in Indy.

 

[Tom + Bill]

He doesn't photograph very good but the patriot uniform will transform him.

 

[NinjaZX6R]

I wish that Hayden had given a 10-yd cushion to BugEyes Caldwell in the '06 AFCC in Indy.

Wouldn't have helped...Bug eyes would have found another easier way to drop another easy TD pass. :bricks:

 

[Froob]

I wish that Hayden had given a 10-yd cushion to BugEyes Caldwell in the '06 AFCC in Indy.

I still can't believe he didn't get called for pass interference after he mugged Caldwell on 3rd down.

 

[mgteich]

He's the #80 player on a 53 man squad. If he makes the team it will be as a gunner.

 

[shmessy]

Can he rush the quarterback?

 

[BadMoFo]

Can he rush the quarterback?

Of course not, why do you think we signed him.

 

[fumbrunner]

At 6'1-200, maybe he is getting a look at safety.

I'm glad the days of midget CBs are behind us.

 

[NEPettyOfficer72]

Don't know too much about him. Lets see what he's got.

 

[goheels22002]

He'll probably get extensive time tonite, so forget about seeing starters at CB on the field. This NYG games is such a waste and not worth the risk of injury it poses. The Giants have it worse playing a second exhibition game in 72 hours.

Bellichick ought to put the musket shooters in there in the second half to gun down any Giant who makes it into the secondary.

Re: Patriots Claim Molden, Place Cannon on Reserve/NFI

Al Davis would not like Molden even for TC fodder/ back up PC b/c the dude runs a 4.4 40.That isn't fast enough for Big Al

 

[SanAngeloState]

Any chance they thought they were getting Anquan Boldin? The names are kind of similar.
