I don't want to see our defense named after a former defense no matter how great it was. Those players should be remembered as the only "doomsday defense" not passed down to continuing Cowboy defenses. Our current defensive players deserve their own nickname but naming them can wait until we set how they play this year. Remember, they have to have a great defense not just a good one. The "electric company" doesn't turn me on probably because it used elsewhere. Also don't like the Brady Gang; name of our defense shouldn't carry the name of just one individual but inclusive for all.

The "steel curtain" was appropriate for the Steelers cause they were the Pittsburg Steelers but also because that city was known for its production of steel. Don't have a clue how the Vikings were named the "purple people eaters...." Does anybody remember any other nicknames other great NFL defenses carried? What were the Rams called back when they were in LA and had so many great DL?

Since I don't/never have lived in Dallas or Texas & since we are the Dallas Cowboys, what is Dallas or Texas particularly known for besides girls, cows, money, oil & the Cowboys? Come on, put on your thinking caps and come up with something original & eyecatching. It can be a play on words like another name for a cattle drive, rodeo, Texas two-step, 3-4 defense, etc. But it's got to be something original. Something befitting "America's team". Of course, we can wait til we see whether our defense deserves a name unique to it before we declare it one of the greatest defenses in NFL history.

:bow: Amen!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have been preaching this for the past two years. Give the great Dallas defense of the past their due, and the ones of the present theirs. Again, you don't see ANY other team repeating the monicure of their past teams but the Cowboys. IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON!!

Make it a name that everyone recognizes as one from THIS era, not 2-3 decades ago.
  • The James Gang
  • The Posse
  • Ware Wolves of Dallas
  • The 'Marcus Brothers
  • Dallas "Twister" Defense
  • Dallas Demolition Defense
  • Texas Stadium Stampede
  • Texas Stadium Twister
  • Dallas "Brauma Bull" Defense
Just a few suggestions. I'm sure if we put our heads together, we can come up with one heck of a new name for our defense.

They can light you up, or shut you down.

Its not an orginal by me, I heard this somewhere else. I think I heard this on one of the NFL Films episodes. I really wish I could remember, but I don't think it was in reference to anyone's D in particular. In any account, I the name, buy I did not orginate it.

or just "lights out" but the electric company oh man we could do a super bowl shuffle type film lol and do the elctric slide :D

no...thats a nick name for cops.....we don't want anything refering to people who use or have guns for our Player(s) sake...especially those who attract bullets
 
I got it... I got it! How about the "You just got knocked the ****out!" Defense? lol. kiddin.

Im with Rack on this one. With a franchise as storied and with as much tradition as this one to go with anything other than Doomsday for our great defenses is criminal.
