Will this defense earn a nickname this year?
 

I don't think it could stick but Jim Henderson yesterday after talking to Brian Young called it the 'Oreo Defense'. Why? 4 black lineman, 3 white LBs, and 4 black DBs. Kinda cute.

Any other potential ideas?

Um... Brian Young is white... so I guess it's 3-4-4 (black-white-black). It's a dumb nickname, no regional ties.

not bad xan...but I think we need a name we can chant.....
how bout MEAN MACHINE?
(joke)

how bout somethin with 9th Ward. It is now one of the most recognizable NOLA names/places since Katrina...

9th Ward Warriors- a badass gang

Survivors 9th Ward- broken or bent, they still are winners

French 4 Quarters- And you thought one French Quarter was wild

Levee Breakers- A drowning defense (Led Zep 'When The Levee Breaks' anthem)

Stormtroopers- Better watch out when these Saints come marching in

I think it's still a little early for this. I think we need one or two more dominating defensive games before this thread becomes relevant.

The Levee breakers

as I started reading the many articles this morning quotes about the defense rang out-
--------
Rather, the Saints stunned the Falcons with a swarming, attacking defense that wouldn't let Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick run free. Any chance he had of squirming free was instantly squelched.
When he was able to get passes off, they were either deflected or his receivers dropped them. The game was essentially a rout even though the score never indicated as much.
--------
On Atlanta’s first possession, the Superdome sounded the way it did in the days of Pat Swilling and Rickey Jackson, when the Saints were famous for their defense. The Falcons ran three plays, then failed to get off a punt.
--------
best was from Vick. It might be a fitting name...

"I didn't play as well as I could have played," Vick said. "Weathering that storm, it was tough. That was Hurricane Katrina over there."

THE KATRINA DEFENSE
THE STORM

BFT-Crew (BFT = Blunt force trauma)

Atleast if Fujita keeps dishing out like he does.

"Stonewall"

"Tank Brigade"

"Dream Killers"

"Storm Warning"

"Flash Flood"

"Sack Assasins"

"The Secone A few more...

"The Second Coming"

"Blackout"

Here's a quote from Mike Vick in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:

I think we HAVE to call our Defense:

The Hurricane D

Sorry, here's the link to the aforementioned quote:

2006 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS DEFENSE:
characteristics
1. quaterbacks dont know who's coming 2. well make offenses suffer for days on end
3. in the end opponents will all blame each other

how bout FEMA!!!

The Devastators

The rebuilding of the Saints resembles the rebuilding of New Orleans in many ways. Like the city, the Saints were once known as The Big Easy for opponents. With so many key newcomers to the team, however, the focus is on rebuilding in an area devastated by nature.

no more big easy IN the dome!

category 5?

We saw them at Mother's on Monday night. My husband goes, "Hey, Reggie!". I wanted the levees to open up and suck me in.

I like Category 5 but anything is better than the "Oreo" defense that Jim Henderson offers. What, they get mushy when we dunk 'em in milk?

Oreo??????????????????????
chocalate city??????????????
Enough with the sweets. Marsha right. they turn to mush. Maybe we should look at the D as units not a group. dome patrol was always linked to the LBers more than the rest.
