  • well they refreshed the uni in an attempt to build morale, why not a new slogan?

  • They should be ashamed if they called themselves that

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    I believe the answer is zero... but from Dixon sprang the first Defensive team identity I can recall. Not that units since have earned the right to be called The Dawgs... and then there's the dilution of The Pound... but maybe soon...

    There's no need to make a choice...

    The Dawgs should by all rights be retired. It is a remnant of a by gone age. It is an ancient ruin.

    Nah just can't get with that, we are and shall always be the Dawgs and Dawgpound

    Then why has not every Rams defense been known as the Fearsome Foursome?

    Why has not every Viking defense been known as The Purple People Eaters?

    Why has not every Steeler defense been known as The Steel Curtain?

    Because these names were specific to that group of players that played at that time.

    The Dawgs....as far as I am concerned, is specific to Hanford Dixon, Frank Minnifield, Felix Wright and friends...and should have been retired with them.

  • Riverfront Stadium is still known as the Jungle, Outsiders might think of banishment, attend every Sunday and you won't find anybody inside complaining about the name, just the product and "The Product" is about to change. 50,000 still bark at every big defensive play.

  • I enjoyed seeing all the clever ideas people had. Not that I should ever be the one to give this type of advice; but, if they're too long - they're never going to get further than this message board.

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

    That may not win the nickname contest for our Defense but it could kick off an Eminemsies contest at least unofficially.

    Vanilla Ice Jr (Ryan Mallett) is probably looking for work as a consultant. If memory serves me right, he liked to start a lot of his sentences with "Yo." He might be able to help you finish that rap song better than he helped the Houston Texans finish their 2015 season.

    You left out an important fact, NONE of those defenses were ranked 31st in the league. You have to EARN a nickname, not dream up one. That's not how it works.

    I didn't forget that at all. I mentioned that up front, both here and on the original thread. We were just having fun with possibilities.

    My further point is that THIS 31st ranked defense...and all the defenses of the Browns of the last 25 years., as you say have NOT earned the DAWGS nickname either.

    That nickname was earned by Dixon, Minnifield, Wright, Banks, Mattews, Hairston, Eddie Johnson....etc. etc. etc.

    Courtney Brown, Gerard Warren, Kam Wimbley..or anyone playing today etc. etc. etc. etc.....NONE of them earned the DAWG defense nickname...yet the Browns marketing department can't let go of that marketing device.
