Shemar come on down. Good luck to Nesta wherever he goes. Always worked hard and put on for his home team when many others were leaving.

Hope he got his degree and now he can carry on to whatever works best for him. Always a cane at heart

 

[Canestomp]

So much for making the crib great.

 

[252cane]

3-4 defense on the way

Yea for 10% of the time

poor broke.

I’m good. Good luck

 

[BS85]

Those Auburn bags really biting us right now

 

[htownkidd]

dline bare as ****.

Pure & utter ****, especially the interior. Big trouble.

 

[Canesq]

Not sure I follow his logic but good luck.

It makes sense. The new defense would not accentuate his strengths and he likely would’ve went undrafted if he declared.

When you think about it for a little longer, it makes sense.

 

[canadianhurricane]

Smart move.

I thought he might have a spot on our new D as a NT, but he'd be very undersized and does get pushed off the ball sometimes.

Hope he ends up at the place that allows him to showcase his talent.

 

[BS85]

Sounds like the "can he play dt" jokes will be making a quick return to glory

 

[252cane]

It has nothing to do with a 3-4. No team is playing base 3-4 or 4-3 much anymore. And Mario had jordon Scott at oregon a few years ago and he was 5’11-6’0 300+.

 

[Golsen82]

Buh bye

 

[stormbrewing]

Well….. who else rolling out? Got some offensive transfer portal weapons lined up but not hearing a lot about the weakness of the team which is defense

 

[Miacanes5]

He ran out on senior day.

I didn’t expect him back as a Cane to begin with.
I thought he was off to try NFL. I guess he said let’s use the Covid year to hit the portal for a year and try to show out for the NFL one more time. Good decision on him, especially if we move to a 3-4.
No hard feelings at all, good luck to him

 

[WaterburyCane]

I felt like this would happen in the spring if he didn’t declare for the draft. All good. Good luck to the young man.

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

Take a breath.

Who here thinks Nesta was going be a starter next year, even in a 4-3? Think about it.

He kind of plateaued here. He would have been an important back up IMO, so it's a loss, but I understand why he would want to go start somewhere. I wish him all the best.

 

[Canesmia01]

We need 3 more portal D Linemen

 

[407cane]

Dang that's a surprise. I guess it makes sense if he doesn't fit into the future plans of the scheme.

I doubt highly that nesta 1) knows what scheme we're going to be running or 2) is leaving for anything other than a small sized bag and/or PT next year

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

Is he taking the Chucky doll with him?

I agree most teams aren’t in base defense that much but it’s more of a philosophy difference.

Mandy’s defense allowed the line to play reckless and with little gap integrity all for the almighty TFL.

It’s not fundamental football but great for Dlinemen.
