A nick-name for a powerful defense
-
The Browns are coming up in the rankings as a dominate team. Major additions to our defense is a big deference. If our defense can become as dominate as the classic Steelers Steel Curtin, what would be a good name for our dominating defense? Maybe something like - The Browns Bolder Blockade ?

The Cleveland Browns Wall.
just doesn't lend itself to much of a nickname I think.

I see this defense being improved, but certainly not that dominant. Not such that it would compare to the Steeler Curtain, or the Purple People Eaters, or the Fearsome Foursome, or the Doomsday Defense, Monsters of the Midway, Big Blue Wrecking Crew, the Sack Exchange, the Grits Blitz, The Legion of Boom. etc.
I don't even think that the 2000 Ravens, one of the best defenses of all time, had a nickname.
Of course, hopefully these names come about organically, as a result of fan effort, or as a result of a team member's comment; which is what happened with the Dawg Defense when Dixon and Minnifield started barking at each other. Unfortunately, some, many of them are conjured up by team marketing departments, thus they are affected, forged, spurious.
I suggest we wait until we see how this defense does before we start giving it a nickname. Last year they were ranked in the lower half of the league in both yards and points given up. They were Top 10 in turnover ratio though. But, I doubt that a pastry type nickname is what anyone would be looking for.

The rule changes to favor offenses and the era of the super QBs with scrambling abilities make consistent dominant defenses almost extinct.
the hope is to make a few stops, force a timely turnover and force a couple FGs and win 35-27.
But I’ll play Something dog pound let’s stay nostalgic and please no stupid “Dawg Check” chants.

Old and worn out. and really should have only applied to the Dixon/Minnifield group. You don't see the Vikings still calling their defense the Purple People Eaters, or the Rams the Fearsome Foursome.

Not according to Paul Brown they weren't, at least not initially.

A rock and roll related theme ? Cleveland "D" rocks ? Something else simple but still but rockin' good.

We could take them on one of those ole Bear Bryant style illegal football retreats like he did with the Junction Boys to Junction, Texas in the 50's. Except in this case
we take them to a ranch in Texas.
