D-Line nickname

[Whiskeyrbl]

I looked and didn't find the post on this. I know TJ nicknamed them the Chain Gang, But Okoye said they had been calling themselves the Trench Dogs. I like both, but lean towards the Trench dogs. What do you think?

[bobizzle]

Trench dogs.

Yeah, and WWE fans will know who im talking about when i say Chain Gang reminds me of a certain ***....:p

[PuddleOfGlowing]

Steel Blue Curtain, well, steeler's fans woudn't like that too much.

[WaldovonPutz]

I kind of like the chain gang thing, but it's really going to be what they call themselves. I think this kind of self identification is a really good thing because it shows some real closeness as a unit.

[musicman8251]

maybe something like the "BATTLE RED DOGS"

[headsplint]

Yep, Trench Dogs.

[RichieVar]

Steel Blue Curtain, well, steeler's fans woudn't like that too much.

Just imagine if someone brought a sign of that to the Opener at Pittsburgh?:D

[eyeguy]

The Bull Rush

[edo783]

Trench Dogs or Bull Rush works for me.

[TexansMVP]

So far I like the sound of Bull Rush too.

[Jwwillis1]

"The Stampede!"

[theyoungNwild]

I just want Okam to break out so that he and Okoye will starters...bringin the heat, rushin the pass...dominating if you will, thus becoming the "OK Boys".

that will be my nickname for those two.

[rush2112mn]

The trench dog chain gang.......

[HuttoKarl]

I think line nicknames are insanely overrated.

[Vitruvian]

hell herd

[blactexan]

trench dogs gets my vote

[Towlie]

how about bag boys... because they will be sackin' all day

[WaldovonPutz]

how about bag boys... because they will be sackin' all day

I like it! We need to get that to the line and see if they like it too.

[greedimidi]

i like "the trench dogs"

clowning: how about the "sack-a-damien nuts"....now thats a classic!

[greedimidi]

how about bag boys... because they will be sackin' all day

"steel blue bag boys"

[B.Diddy]

I just want Okam to break out so that he and Okoye will starters...bringin the heat, rushin the pass...dominating if you will, thus becoming the "OK Boys".

that will be my nickname for those two.


(In a LIL John Voice) OOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY lmao

[South Texan]

With Toro as the mascott how can they be called any thing other than the Bull Dogs?????

[BIG ERN]

trench dogs

[Whiskeyrbl]

I don't know if there was a misunderstanding. The players came up with the two nicknames.. Chain Gang and Trench Dogs. The thread was asking which of the two of those that you thought were better. Maybe this should have been a poll.

[BIG ERN]

Trench Dogs

Put m for mario and you you mmmmmmmmmmmkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaayyyyyy from the councler(SP*) from southpark lol

"Chain Gang is cutting in on the Dallas convicts moniker.... and Trench Dogs. It looks like the "players" need a PR guy to translate.

[HomeBred_Texan]

I also like "Trench Dawgs". So put me down for that...

And Chain Gang is too closely related to the Dallas Cowboys, so NO to that one...:D

[Texas Hellfire]

The Texas LIne of Hellfire and D A M Nation? or

1.Texas Line of Hellfire!
2. Blue Stampede!
3. Line of Blue Stampede!:)

Give me time I'll come up with one:D

[edo783]

MMmm, Line of Fire? We could have some collateral damage to a certain DT in hicksville.

[CoogBull]

The Bull Rush

Don't we need to actually establish a consistent rush before we can adopt such a moniker? I like it, but let us not get premature. Of course, if we do establish a rush we could play scenes from the Rush Hour movies when the defense comes onto the field.

The Fat Red Line would work.

Bayou Dawgs might also work or even the Bayou Bulls.

Reliant Roughnecks

Yeah!

[BMT TEXAN]

Bayou Dawgs, I really like that 1.:cool:

[TEXANBRONCO]

Hungry Dawgs.....:d

[TexBiff]

The SackoNites

[Texas Hellfire]

MMmm, Line of Fire? We could have some collateral damage to a certain DT in hicksville.

Didn't mean to sound hickish! So what did you come up with?

[blactexan]

what about the new york sack exchange or the purple people eaters or what about the fearsome foursome!:rolleyes:

[GT]

Loved the Trench Dawgs, good name for the guys down in the trenches but not good enough for the defense as a whole.

Chain gang has been done and is yesterdays news.

[texanfreak]

how about


1. bayou brawlers (or bayou city brawlers)


2. blue haze


3.reliant rumble


4. dominant dawgs


just to name a few.

[Texas Hellfire]

Blue Haze!

That's good but not good when you chant it out loud.

But I understand the concept knock them on their butts and all they remeber coming and going was a blue haze! LOL!

[Grams]

Think Chain Gang sound like a bunch of people who can't stay out of trouble and Trench Dogs sound too much like a Cleveland Browns thing.

Think they need to show they can stop the run, rush the passer and get others involved in sacks besides Mario before they get a name.

When they do the name needs to reflect something of the Texans not some other team. Something more in the line of Bull Rush for example.

[theCATALYST]

something simple and to the point........

"The Wrecking Crew"

It works because it can encompass everyone and embodies what we are trying to do.....which is to wreck our opponents plays, wreck our opponents confidence, and wreck the nations misconceptions about our Texans.


And 'ol Mr. Mario Williams can be the wrecking ball.....target -----> Manning!!!

[PuddleOfGlowing]

Steel Blue Fire!

hmmm, kinda sounds like an alcoholic beverage.

but I agree with what was said earlier, that they need to earn their name first.

[wildroot]

Anything with "Dawg" in it sounds like we're copying Cleveland and their "Dawg" pound.

How about Bull*hit, like we're going to *hit all over you!

Should probably see what kind of D we have first, then the name will come on it's own.

[SouthSideTexan]

Think Chain Gang sound like a bunch of people who can't stay out of trouble.....

I agree....It sounds more like a dallas thing.

[texanfreak]

the mob squad

[TexBiff]

Was "The Bull Dozers" suggested?

[texanfreak]

thank's threeputtsam now if i could just figure out how to get a picture of Mario,Okoye,DeMeco and maybe Rosey in some mobster clothes.

[NBT]

Bull Rushers

[Sportswriter79]

Mario, Okoye, Johnson, Okam....MOJO?

:D

[edo783]

I lost 80% of my investments with Merril Lynch in 2001, so I'm biased against anything with a bull in it

Sorry to here that.

[maverick2910]

how about "Crunch"
Demeco - Snap!!
Okoye- Crack!!
Mario- Crunch!!!
The Crunch Defense!!!
Sounds Cool!

[maverick2910]

Dunta - POP!!

[maverick2910]

1st down Manning to Harrison - Pop! 1 Yard Loss.
2nd down Manning drops back Snap! 3 yard Loss
3rd and 14 Manning drops back Crack! - Crunch!
Timeout! Manning carted off the field.
4th down Punt!

[wildroot]

Fellas, our defense was ranked somewhere around 24th out of 32 teams last year....whenever they get good they'll earn a befitting nickname.

The line not the secondary...

[spurstexanstros]

How bout "for the love of God stop someone on third down defense" or

"You mean we were supposed to tackle vince young?" Or
"I dont want to sack Payton i just want his autograph."

Silly talking about this. Its almost like calling the french army the doomsday defense. they are getting better but they are not there yet.

Bottom Line no nicknames till they make the playoffs

[Texan Naija]

D-Line could easily be called the Texan Stampede.

But we will have to stomp over a lot of teams to be worthy of that title though. Which the potential is definitely there to do so.

[wildroot]

The line not the secondary...

Well, the line was a part of our 24th ranked defense...I mean if the D line is getting pressure on the QB then chances are the QB is not picking apart our secondary.

[RunningTheSouth]

Blue Thunder..................& we can "Ride the Lightning". Play some Metallica after every sack!

[TEXANBRONCO]

Houston sack exchange........:d

[BIG ERN]

THE RAIDERS STOLE MY IDEA!!!!Their defense is called the "BLACK HOLE"!

[BIG ERN]

how about someone on this team besides Mario gets a sack or we should just call it "Super Mario"

if he does all the work, then no point in giving everyone else credit. :D

NASA = Black Hole?

[larryj357]

How about we call them Mario and the other 3 over paid guys?

[BIG ERN]

Anyone know why the last 2-5 pages of long threads don't show up unless I post a reply?

[Dunta_23]

What D-line?

[GNTLEWOLF]

After watching the Steelers game... I think a good nickname for the defense might be
"Hot Butter"

[Matt_in_KW]

Mario, Larry, Curly & Moe

What D-line?


Both GREAT ideas and fitting!

[Macaronitoni]

To name your defense, first you must have a defense.
