I just wish nicknames for defenses would come back in general. I miss that. Doomsday, Orange Crush, NY Sack Exchange, etc.

In the world of acronyms and short verbage sentences you would think there would be more nicknames in the league right now for defenses.

I heard Spagnola the other day say that a fan suggested "Whoomsday".

Hard to do when you have player movement that we see now days. In the time before FA guys were like family they played their entire careers with each other now we don't see that very often were a group will remain as a team

Lol. I like that one. Band of Backups was another I'd heard. Hatcher's Heroes, too, though I don't like that one very much: don't want to build the defensive identity around an impending FA.

we still on this? How about the "please god i hope we play the Rams every week" defense.

BTW, hands up on posters who still think the Rams are a good team.

As an aside, it was Tom Landry who coined the term, No-Name Defense when asked about the Dolphin defense prior to Super Bowl VI.

I did not know this, how can i a self proclaimed "know it all" not know this. Must not be fact.

Thank you for sharing tho.

The Cowboys defense shut down Nicky Foles and Matt Barkley. Now we have to name this epic squad!

Why the British spelling? You a ferner? If you is, you don't eat free in Farmers Branch, home of original thought.
