Hate that name anyway. Maybe we should just call him "Barky".

How did we never come up with a nickname for Phil Dawson?

[PoeticG]

Phil was known as Old Faithful

[gftChris]

Phil the foot.

[FairHooker11]

Al "Bubba" Baker

[FairHooker11]

love the Mike Junkin reference....

not many will remember Martys reason for drafting the "mad dog"

come to think of it... why again Marty?

[Tour2ma]

Mo= Dick Modzewlewski

OZ= Ozzie Newsome

Actually was "Little Mo"... a DL we got from the Giants. His smaller brother "Big Mo", Ed Modzewlewski, was a FB with us.

And Ozzie's full nickname was "The Wizard of Oz"...

The Instep?

Thanks. Was Eric Metcalf too fast to tag a nickname on?

And here is the original NFL "Big Daddy". Very sad life he had.

I don't recall Metcalf ever having any sort of nickname.

And I agree that when I heard people calling Hairston "Big Daddy" that I thought that name should have been reserved for Lipscomb....but Hairston came a generation later so what do you do?

[Zombo]

Metcalf's nickname was "Up The Middle".

[Flyin J]

Colt McCoy= Pony Boy McCoy

More of a description of how he was often improperly used. But, yes, I can here Jim Donovan making that call.
