The fearsome four!= the 60s Rams
The Killer bees = The 80s Dolphins
The Hogs = The 80s Redskins
Orange Crush - 70's Broncos
Killer Bees - '82 Dolphins
Homeland Defense - 00's Pats
Gang Green - Jets or Eagles in 80's
Fearsome Foursome - 60's Rams D-line
Dome Patrol - 80's Saints LBs
Blitzburgh - Steelers
80s Jets = NY Sack Exchange
80s Bears = Monsters of the Midway

What are we learning? That I have heard of only about 6 of those and after the 80's no nick names are worth mentioning?

How did y'all manage to overlook the Grits Blitz?

TheOak · 12-10-2013, 07:24 AM

How do you get Grits from our team? How is it unique?

It has nothing to do with our team. It was a reference to names of other defenses posted by railboss. You must be younger than I thought.

It is a reference to the Falcons defense or 77 and that s shameful.

Effin Katy Perry Fireworks for all I care. Just keep winning.

Our defense is still not shut down enough to give it a name...

That said, Gallett, and Jordan have amasses the below statistics and both being in the top 15 (more than any other team) do warrant a name.

Combined stats for Gallett and Jordan:
Jordan is #1 in sacks for a 4-3 DE
Gallett has the 6th most sacks for a 4-3 OLB

21 sacks
22 QB hits
72 QB hurries
4 Batted passes
1.2 penalties between them

Our bookends are massive.
