Name Our Defense

"Bulls on Parade"...hmmmm...dig the song...just not feelin' the name, though...

Think about the historic great names in the NFL:

The Steel Curtain

Doomsday Defense

Purple People Eaters

The Monsters of the Midway

The Fearsome Foursome

The New York Sack Exchange

The Big Blue Wrecking Crew

Now go back to 'Bulls on Parade'....

How about:

"The Bad Muff-huggas?" Hell after having seen Pulp Fiction I was looking for a wallet with that on it...well a variation of it anyway. Seriously...I like Bull Rush.

I thought the same thing. I replied to Barwin's tweet saying I thought it sounded kinda ghey-ish.

It'd be interesting to see the demographics of the folks who don't like it.

I loved it the instant I heard it. Then again, I'm a huge RATM fan.
 
How about The Dudes? The Dudes abide. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' they're out there. The Dudes. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope they make the Superbowl.

I still like Damage Inc. They did some serious damage to Atlanta. Besides, it's a cool song with sound bites that are applicable to NFL situations.

Hey, I like that one! :clap:

A little Met at Reliant would really kick things off.

I'm still partial to The Motherfu*ckers, though.

There's a bit of effing in "Damage". "Eff it all and effing no regrets, never happy endings on these dark sets".

Damage Inc. just sounds mafia to me. Nothing personal, but we're gonna kill you now. Fight if you must, but the result is the same. Damage, Inc.

Of course, it isn't ghetto. That'll hurt it lol.

Oh yeah, well I guess you couldn't play the song at Reliant then. But I'll never forget the day I saw Metallica open up for Ozzy at The Summit in 1986. I believe a few months later Cliff was dead.

Damage Inc.

Yes, but i'm kinda old and don't care for it. I'm more into 70's rock. Bulls on parade is just a terrible name for a great defense. It just doesn't sound right to me.

Call it like ya see it: it sounds effing gay as hell.
 
Didn't want to start a new thread, and this seems to fit here.

Houston Press has come up with 10 songs for players, and one for the team. Some are pretty good. A couple of the ones I like best:

JJ Watt - Ironman (Black Sabbath)
TJ Yates - Who Are You (The Who)
Texans Team - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide (ZZ Top)

I like it!! :thumbup

It represents everything that this defense is all about. Plus, it's just a kickass song from the best era of Metallica, IMO.

I don't like the tendency to grab anything with "bull" on it.

Bulls are not predators. They are cows with horns. Yeah, they can be mean, but so can rats.

At the end of the day cows...errr...bulls chew cud. They are not hunters, they don't eat meat, and they are generally pretty stupid.

And calling Reliant "the slaughterhouse"? Isn't that where they take cows and bulls to be killed to make them into hamburger and steaks? That doesn't represent too well, considering the Texans mascot is a bull and all.

I think we should resurrect the "House of Pain" and call the defense Damage, Inc. They go together! :bat:

I like where your head's at.
But, looking at the injury list, it seems like all the damage is being done to our guys.

This has been a crazy year for injuries. "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" for a new team song?
 
Man....I think I would cream my pants if the D was named "Damage Inc."


Imagine after every sack.....

"Blood...will...fol-low bloooooodddddddddddd..............dy-in...time...is hereeeeeeeee"

Then the crowd yells "DAMAGE INCORPORATED"
 
Well,

There are 11 players on defense, and the crowd is the 12th man, so collectively we could be The Dirty Dozen.

LOL, carry on.
 
For the stadium, we could play off the title of the movie The Last House on the Left (and The House of Pain).

The House on the Left

:specnatz:
 
The Zombies.

Or, The Walking Dead.

Think about it: A zombie just keeps coming after its prey. You can chop and arm off, and it doesn't matter. It keeps coming after you.

And play some Rob Zombie when they come onto the field.

Bob's Zombies?
 
cmon people.

FOr one.. 99% of the suggestions on here are just horrible. Most of them sound like the title to a really cheesy 1980s action movie. Which... is not surprising since most of them are being thought up by folks who are stuck on 1980s rock music :D.


Why dont you just embrace bulls on parade? FOr one.. its not gay, or lame.. a parade is a military affair and it brings to mind bulls stomping through the streets. For two.. it has a great football song attached to it. For three.. the players and media both seem to be embracing it.

I mean so many of you get on here every year and talk about "what should be name our offense/defense/stadium".. and the suggestions that follow are always a little bit pathetic and a whole lot of cheesy. Now, finally... they have actually come up with a name (a pretty cool and fitting one imo), and you same folks are trying to shoot it down.

Makes no sense. Do you really think that they are just going to pluck some obscure cornball name from some obscure cornball rock band and start calling themselves that for no reason other than "it would be an awesome title for a chuck norris movie" ???

No.. nicknames happen on their own.. which is how bulls on parade is developing. A good song played at the right moment in a historic season. The only thing that will stop it is an idignant outcry from a bunch of middle-aged fans that REALLY wanted the team to be called "Death Corp." so that they would have an excuse to get it ironed on to the back of their karate gi.

Just let it happen. Trust me.. the name is great.

Even better, zombie honeybadgers!
 
I can't believe anyone would actually like Bulls on Parade. That is just the worst thing I've heard of, and there's been some bad ones in this thread. LOL
 
The media does a good job of handing out nicknames. If they can't come up with a good one, then NFL Films usually comes up with something decent.

Fans and players need to leave it to them.

Grid old friend, I'm sorry but trust me on this. No, it is not.
 
Why is it the two best defenses usually brought up in conversation...the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens have no nicknames?

Exactly. Can we possibly wait until we've actually won a game or two in the playoffs before we go handing out nicknames?
