You've been around here long enough to know better than that.
Call it "J.J. Watt and 10 other guys".

Ah, Football!

That, and Bulls on Parade is kind of lame.
In February? Man. Long off season in store.
Bulls on Parade
2017 Astros: Earn It!
Bulls On Parade is what Connor Barwin created, or so he takes credit for, and Wade Phillips had later endorsed on his twitter account. I loved it!!!!
I sure do miss both guys. It was cool to see "Son of Bum" win a Super Bowl ring as defensive coordinator of the Broncos a week and a half ago.
There was nothing wrong with the hard work he put in here. A shame he was fired. He was still good enough to be a part of a franchise best 12-4 team in 2012 (11-1, best record in NFL through 12 games that season).
Our defense made me proud this past season. Most notably for those six weeks (after our 1-4 start) when our defense ranked #1 in the entire league in points allowed and yards allowed.
Even in the playoff game against the Chiefs our defense played well enough to have a 7-6 lead at halftime, but we were down 13-0, because our special teams gave up a TD only 11 seconds into the game and Brian Hoyer blew our golden scoring chances with several dumb turnovers (the INT on 2nd and goal at the 3 was the toughest).
By the second half Watt had gotten hurt (left game with groin injury) and our defense just gave up a little bit. Our offense wasn't doing crap in that game, and it was a losing battle at that point.
But Bulls on Parade can always last unless we change logos. Brian Cushing still embodies that likeness for the music Connor Barwin was into. The two of them would often jam to the same songs. If we were to go with the music our best player on defense likes, J.J. Watt, we'd be nicknamed "The Adeles".
I wouldn't change a sweet nickname just because Rick Smith isn't a great GM.

When I read "Bulls on parade ". I think of weightlifters marching in a gay pride parade

Easterby = Little Finger/Cal = Fredo Corleone
If Hoyer is the QB it will be the
'legion of gloom'
'Blown opportunity'
Hoyers Warriors

Got JJ?
Yes and yes.
If we need to force a nickname I'd call them "The Better Half."

Would that make it the 109 defense?

I vote for the "Utterly in Vain" defense because no matter HOW good they are their efforts are moot without a QB.
