DEfense Nickname?

We never came up with one over the last few years, and I guess for good reason. Do we have anything folks or what? I say we get it started and give the defense something to ride behind and get pride in, rather than waiting for them to do something. Believe me, this defense will be a TON better with Smith at the lead. Even if they would have stayed in the 3-4, the guy has more intensity and shows more accountability than the Capers regime. How bout, "The make you Bleed, Stampede...lol":hunter: .........:chicken:

well, the last 3 years, it could've been sieve or caulender or leaky or Pepe LePew. I'm drawing a complete blank for this year cuz I have no idea what kind of identity they're gonna have. Might wanna wait til a few regular season games have gone by then retry
 
It's a bit early for a name IMO as they haven't set a personality yet, but how about the "Hounds" then everyone in the stands can yell "Loose the Hounds!". War Dogs isn't to bad either.

There's a good reason why the Texans have gone without a nickname for their 'D'.................noone would want the name out there for ridicule. I am very hopeful for a significant upgrade of play by this year's team. But, at the same time, before a "tough" name is applied, "weeny" performance needs to be proven a thing of the past.

That said, I'll offer up "The [Houston] Hit Squad"

If they're tough weenies, we could do something with the Oscar Meyer song....just a thought....
Lets see some proof before we start calling it pudding!!!
 
While I certainly hope we have a defense that earns the right to a nickname, I hesitate to call them anything at this point when we haven't seen them play a down. I'd hate to come up with some kickass nic only to have them struggle to live up to it.

Although something with "stampede" would be kind of cool, especially if that's the way they make opposing offenses feel.
 
I agree with most we need to see them play with our own eyes before giving them a nickname.(but if the man can play like we think he can I'm throughing out Marios Marauders.(I think that how to spell it)

How about "A defense that has the potential to not suck" for now and then see what happens? :ok:

Very nice. I agree whole heartedly, but it is July and we don't have anything else to talk about. How about "The Mad Cow Disease?"

You do realize that the Texan's defense already has an old nickname that needs to be shed before you add a new one?

And stampede could be taken the other way round! :D
 
I'd prefer a more simple name like, "The Wall :brickwall ".

Or, perhaps, "The Welcoming Committee :mad:".

And, of course, if we play like last year, "The SOS Squad :sos:".

The underlined could have been used the last couple of years, too. Would it be way to cheesy just to bring back the House of Pain? Maybe we could call MW "The Dentist" cuz those guys know how to deliver PAIN. Can't believe I just typed that!!!!

NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Reminds me WAY too much of Pittsburgh. As a member of the "Luv Ya Blue" era, I could never go with that one!!!

That one is definitely already taken. Also, I don't want anything related to dogs, because I DO NOT wanna hear, "Who let the dogs out?" over and over.

Why not just call us Blue Steel? (even tho that reminds me WAY too much of Zoolander to take it seriously). Personally, Id be cool if we just picked up the slogan "Dont Mess With Texas" and took it as our motto.

I'm gonna stick with Reliant being the slaughterhouse. Woooh! :francis:

I origianlly liked that one too, but isn't a Slaughterhouse where cows go to die? Where do Colts go to die? "The Glue Factory" maybe?

Nicknames aren't made like this guys...nicknames are made after a defense plays amazing for several years.

I second that motion.

although...the Urban Assault Squad had a nice ring to it.... :hmmm:
 
How about 'Treadmarks'? As in what the opposing running backs left on our defenders jerseys. There's another awful conotation that I'll just let lie...
 
I like both "Bull Rush" and "Stampede". What I like even more is calling Mario-"Super Mario". Perhaps, a video game reference can used to describe to whole defense or even certain players. For example, "Space Invaders","The Defenders", etc. Just a thought!
 
I just feel like it's a waste of time and kind of silly to come up with a nickname for a defense that has gotten progressively worse every season of it's existence. Let's be honest about our defense in the first four years. They started out pretty average and went south. Defenses that suck don't get the kind of nicknames you want to keep.

I am absolutely certain we've turned a corner and we're on the rise. Despite that I think it's too early to be talking nickname. Talking respectable has to come first.

Besides, the really good nicknames just happen. Nobody brainstorms on a message board and comes up with a lasting and fitting nickname.

What do you have against my "Oscar Mayer" idea? It's catchy, EVERYBODY knows it. And if we STILL suck, there's always the weenie thing to fall back on!!! It's a lot better idea than that receiver thread I started.
 
How about "The Mean Blue Machine", I am so kidding...I got nothing, but we could be the "The Blue Flush" until we prove otherwise....serouisly nothing.
 
"The Hornys?" I guess that could go another way.

P.S. - you guys that keep posting that the defense needs to earn a nickname need to lighten up. Obviously you are right, but its July and we don't have anything else to talk about.

I thought Ricky Williams was the Spaced Invader.
 
The Mario Brothers

I don't like many of the others suggested, but I think The Bull Rush or (Crush)is about as good as I heard. If you want to use a videogame term you could go with Mario's Zerg.
