Historically elite squads get names that personify their dominance, achievements, and significance to the success of their teams.

Where would the Steelers be without the Steel Curtain? Remember OJ's offensive.line, the Electric Company?

The Purple People Eaters, the Fearsome Four, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid...

The Doomsday Defense?

Thurman's Theives?

This offensive line deserves a name to be remembered. With the extensions to the comtracts for Tyron and Fredericks it's accomplishments have only scratched.The surface.

And who better.to name them than their team's most loyal, knowledgable....and humble fans...the posters on this forum. I'm sure you all agree.

Here then, are some of my suggestions. I would like to see yours..

"The Moving Company" - Changing addresses? The Moving Company will get you there in no time at all. They will professionly and efficiently move you from your current location, the 20 yard line, to opponent 10 yard line in no time at all. They will give maximum protection to your prized possessions (quarterback, runningback). Satisfaction guaranteed!

"Destruction Inc." - The finest and most thorough company specializing in removing unwanted obstacles. Our demolition experts are rated #1 in eliminating debris like linemen and linebackers, to ceeate a.clear path around your valuable features. Cornerbacks removed for free.

"The Force" - The laws of Physics are turned.upside down as they prove there is no such thing as an immovable object. The Force be with you.....if you are a.Cowboy fan!

"The Law" - Out in these parts, The Law can be swift and harsh. Thats just the way it has to be in the untamed world of the NFL. You are protected if you are on the side of "the Law". If you are on the wrong side of the Law, well then, let's just say there is no such thing as a repeat offender.
 
They were called Great Wall of Dallas

Not if you were there they weren't. They were called that recently, but not at the time. I never heard a single person refer to them as the Great Wall of Dallas.

Edit: A Football Life was the first to ever call them that as far as I can recall. And I'm pretty sure I would remember if they had a catchy nickname.

Edit again: And you are clearly too young to remember that team, so get off my lawn.

Kind of like America's Team moniker.
 
Purple People Eaters = 3 super bowl appearances in four years.

Steel Curtain = 4 super bowl wins in six years

Dooms Day Defense = 2 superbowl wins and 5 appearances

Thurman's Theives = several conference championship appearances

Our 'dominant' O-line = jack diddly squat


Maybe the team should actually make a significant impact in the post season before we christen the O-line with a nick-name. Just my opinion.
