    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    dawgs won us how many Super Bowls?

    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...

    You should know that! The Houston Oilers!

    "The Rock n Roll Hall of Pain" is too long.

    Cut it down to " The Hall of Pain" is and you have the perfect nickname...not even mentioned among the 20 or so already listed.

    Cleveland and NE Ohio has both The Rock and NFL HOF's, so it works.

    The Steel Curtain

    The Fearsome Foursome

    The Hall of Pain

    Yep, it works.

    You got a name, now earn it.

    Right. It was Houston.

    And Hall of Pain is too close to House of Pain. Seems derivative. Rock n Roll Wall of Pain less so.
