Ya love to see it.

The McGhee thing just makes no sense. Why drop a guy that you deemed worthy to be playing with your starters in the 1st week? There was a video of MOS gushing about him too. 
I feel like maybe the success went to his head a little and something happened...said something to a teammate/whatever.
We know the whole FIFO thing, there must not have been a fit because why wouldn't we have kept him to at least see in in preseason?
Ohwell, I agree with the post above. We've had no issues finding great DBs for years. One of the easiest spots to get rookies to play too.

The coaches , (OShea} liked McPhee hes a vet came to camp in great shape and by giving him reps against top receivers they were able to determine early that he js not the guy.
Splitting reps all around just. Would have added doubt

Its about time!! Defensively, the Leafs are horrible, give up consistently 10-15 more shots to the opposition, that's on the system they're playing. They don't have the offense to run and gun with teams, gotta go to a more defensive system...could Bruce Boudreau be the next Leafs coach?? He's from Toronto, played his junior hockey there, played for the Leafs in the NHL, won a Stanley Cup in Washington....they could do alot worse than him

Barry Trotz was the Capitals head coach when they won the Stanley Cup in 2018. Boudreau was head coach of the Wild at that time.

I don't think Berube was the issue in Toronto, or at least not a glaring issue. Not that I care because I love it when the Leafs are bad, but I think he became the fall guy/scapegoat for the organization's recent failures.

Pretty sure we can and have cut players getting injured in TC before.  Teams just drop them like hot potatoes and say "oh well, tough luck!".  It's literally the worst time to get injured as I'm pretty sure they don't earn any salary after that.

Only if we gave JSK a huge bonus (I think it was $0?) or we are really high on him do we have to not cut him.  If they've officially moved him to the 6G and that makes him now uncuttable, then there's got to be a reason for that.

We have cut players in TC due to injury but that is usually rookies. I don't know if there is a specific rule regarding veterans but in those cases teams add them to their IR lists.

That's good.  However, now we've wasted like 3/4's of both camps on McGhee.  That's not good.  It means any other rookie may be slow off the mark in week 1.  That's why I think we start with Vaval or find a vet...

I don't know if McGhee was in the rookie camp. Regardless that's the nature of TC and trying multiple players. There was even early suggestions about moving Allen to CB.

Lamont is more of a DHB but might have the ability to play CB as well. That said, I fully expect a rookie to win the starting CB role.

I'm pretty sure Vibert will be dressed as 6th.  Daniels means we don't have to fret about a 7th.

That's depend if we play 3 Americans on the OL.
Say, we go - Bryant, Vanterpool, Eli, Neufeld, Broxton. The 6th will be either Wallace or Vibert.
Or if we go American on C (little chance) then Eli will be the 6th OL.

Agree that we don't need a 7th OL on the active roster.

What next man?  There is no next man.  We wasted a ton of camp on McGhee and I'm pretty sure the only backup plan is Vaval full-time at corner.  And he's not that great, yet, AND then we lose him as full-time returner.  Ouch.

I haven't heard anyone mention any other DB at all in camp reports.  Unless we are putting Allen or Ball at starting corner!!

KW might we be shopping for a legit vet DB right about now... I'd like to see Bonds return eventually, but he has his own year-long injury to heal up first.

We never had problem finding a solid DB before. Doesn't mean you never heard of any names, they are not trying other DB other than McGhee.

So chillax.

When we signed Lamont, I assumed he was going to be our "just in case" vet.

I'm pretty sure Vibert will be dressed as 6th.  Daniels means we don't have to fret about a 7th.

We'll obviously have another OL on the roster. And we don't know how early or how much Daniels will be inserted into the starting line-up. But I think the best-case scenario is Daniels is able to be used as the extra blocker who can leak out on a route at times.

The idea is that we're more multi-dimensional than we are with 6 OL on the field.
