derekshank Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Just asking if Caleb was so great why aren't teams giving up a 3rd for him? even a team like the colts who have a need and a fettish for undersized LBs,Why is Caleb the first one to the bench when jeanty and Bsimmons return even before landon if he was our best LB? I have nothing agaist Caleb I like him as a player but I'd still take Odell over him for next 10 years if Odell could stay out of trouble.Well, I don't recall saying he was "great" just the best option we have there. He doesn't have great size, and a team isn't likely to give up a 3rd round pick for a player that has only started a handful of games, is a bit injury prone, and is the smallest MLB in the NFL.All that said... he's still the best MLB we have, and I don't have a problem starting him there, as long as we upgrade at SSLB (Brooks) and WSLB (2nd round pick). I don't see him as a downgrade from Simmons, and apparently neither did Marvin Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 True that,I'd perfer to keep brooks on strong side with jeanty backing him up(he just seems more suited for it)...Then MLB if odell is given another chance caleb can start then odell can try earn his way back then WLB = landon with rookie backing him up.but if Landon is done probbley need a backer who can play weak and middle.
