BengalszoneBilly Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I was just wondering what people thought of Caleb Miller? I'm pretty sure "not-another" hates him! Myself, just as I would on any Bengals player, I'll defer to the genuis of Marvin Lewis!If Caleb makes the squad fine. If not, my "panties" will remain unbunched on that too.

This site is sooo needing a "sarcasm" smiley.My point Kaz is that "not-another" who is an esteemed, and pretty damn HOT if I do say so myself, (can I get a Holla-Holla Hey Player! ) female member who has praised the cute "boy band" (IMHO) looks of Mr. Miller.

BengalPappaw Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I like Caleb Miller as a player -- he has good speed, and intelligence. He seems to lack the size that may be needed.I believe he is still learning to play the defense and will continue to get better. In the mean time, I believe he will be a good contributor on the Special Teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Orange Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 At the beginning of last season I thought Caleb was going to be the answer at LB. When I went to the preseason game vs. ATL I even made a "Caleb Miller Fan Club" sign. At first he was getting more playing time then Landon.Now I view him as a serviceable backup and will be given opprotunity to be a special teams ace. That may be all he ever is. His talent level may never rise any higher than a KK...but then KK contributes a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsLB Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 i dom't think he will ever be a starter for cincy but he is a pretty good spt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshfan Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Ive read where he's much bigger this year. any truth to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Miller is a good player, but we just drafted 4 good linebackers in the last two drafts. He's got competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 exactly what next big thing said. hes gonna be a viable back up. i still see him doing some good things for us this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Caleb seems to be a career backup now, I was looking for more from him but he seems to lite to play LB in this leauge now. He might grow into it . Im hoping thats what Marvin was thinking. If the guy can add some of those extra pounds that some late bloomers do at his age he might be a very good player if he keeps his speed. With that being said he seems to have been a reach at where he was takenIMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShulaSteakhouse Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I hope he gets better, and indeed has put on weight/muscle, because he can't take on big NFL RB's as it is right now, and keeps getting hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshh967 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I honestly thought he was going to be something special when i first heard about him. But i think at most he is definatly mediocre...I think he will make an excellent back up for odell though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweinhart Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hopeful for the next Jim Leclair but thinking more along the lines of Charley Bucket with a golden ticket for a couple years.He does like to tackle, though. We'll see how the ankles work out. Maybe he can keep his feet better and not get washed out so much if he gets a chance on D.Otherwise, he's a fine special teamer.

Rimington over Marino Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 He can improve his status. I think we can all agree that he is better than Adrian Ross and Canute Curtis ever was. Injuries is his biggest problem now. Is he ahead of Webster, if Webster were healthy? Right now Wilkins and Augustin or Stevens are ahead of him cause he isn't - hasn't been on the field. He played last year after Webster got hurt, I say jury is still out. They had the same poll- question over on Insiders and got ridiculed by Miller lovers. If speed was the most important asset, he would be there when healthy. No doubt about his speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalByTheBay Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Can't believe you got ridiculed over on the insiders board, Rim. Wow. Those guys usually are so positive over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Caleb Miller was hurt with a nagging injury to his ankle for most of the year. Tell me if I am wrong but I saw him listed as questionable or on the probable injury report list almost all of the last 12 games. I think that it tells alot about his character that he played hurt. I'd give him another year before judging and especially if he has put on any weight to help his durability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 My thoughts about Caleb Miller? I'd say he reminds me of a red-haired Wali Rainer. Decide for yourself if that's a good thing. Very instinctive and can make plays if allowed to, but more raw than I expected. Seems athletically limited. Can be overpowered and as a result spends too much time on the ground. Looked a little stiff and seemed to struggle changing directions in pass coverage. Dinged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not-another Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Mmm Caleb Miller. Good second stringer, that's about it. But, let me say. He is "built" great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
