BrownsfaninPa Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 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 ?

calfoxwc Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 The Cleveland Browns Wall. just doesn't lend itself to much of a nickname I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something like - The Browns Bolder Blockade ? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SdBacker80 Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that is what we, aptly, called them, but I don't think any of those were marketed to the general football public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Filter is the filter that keeps life from progressing. It's the reason that we do not see life anywhere else in the universe. In theory, the filter is still ahead of us. Anyway, The Great Filter is impenetrable...so you are correct, it's a great name for a defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Bryant was a former Bama player and as he said, "Mama called, and when mama calls you just have to come running." Ironically the cat got out of the bag with two games left in an undefeated season following a once tied season and they were #1 at the time. A&M lost the next two games and their bowl game by a total of 6 points. You just could not mend all those broken hearts of the Junction Boys that had brought him there. Also ironically one of those boys coached Bama to a National Championship after Bear died. Gene Stallings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
