Nickname for Defense

[LJpalmbeacher2 1,819]

I expect our D to be ranked at or near the top when stats are accumulated after week 3.

I know it's still early in season and rankings will may or probably change. So before they do giving our unit a nickname would be nice.

Steel Curtain, Legion of Doom, Purple People Eaters, Sack Pack, No Name Defense, etc.... 

 

I dont really have any good names as potential candidates...."Eberfus we Trust" not a good name. 

"Cover Blue" na, not good.

"Ballard's Batallion " no.

 

I'm  stumped. But I'm sure we have some inventive minds here that will come up with a knockout name.

And maybe we can send the best name to Clarissa Thompson or that little cutie on NFL Good Morning(or whatever the show's name is) and the may actually do a piece on the colts. Probably  not, lol.

The Blue stampede

[Smoke317 1,272]

Blue Steal?  Blue Wave?

[EastStreet 7,076]

The Inconsistent Eleven?

Blue Charmin?

Everyone's already forgetting we made Minshew look like a surgeon. We've played 3 bottom ten OLs, and today one without two starting tackles, and 3 starting WRs. NYJ's offense is ranked 32nd, and MN's is 30th. And we play a bad O next week (Chicago is 23rd) too... lol. Jax is 22nd.

 

When our D plays well vs a decent team, I'll start thinking about nicknames. The Browns and Ravens are the first top 20 offenses we'll play this year.

How about the "It's to early to name our defense" defense?  Just a suggestion.  We played the Jags, the Vikings, and the Jets.  Hardly the top of the heap when it comes to offensive powerhouses.  I love the spirit, but I think it's too early.

How about "Too early for a nickname" defense?

Literally thinking the exact same thing.

[a06cc 836]

In my honest opinion we haven’t been tested yet. No nicknames should be given yet. We played a hurt Jets team today. 

[LJpalmbeacher2 1,819]

That's just it. We know its early, and we know our rankings will change sooner than later. Which is why we need a name before we're exploited by the better offenses.    

 

Btw, I'm liking Blue Steel, Blue Wave so far. Lol

How bout " The untested"????  The teams records 1-8. Long ways to go

Question: Did Blackmon play. Never heard his name or spot him om the field.

[danlhart87 4,175]

Swiss cheese

 

Sometimes we are fantastic 

And sometimes we stink and there's holes everywhere

I'm not sure 

[Shadow_Creek 708]

if we play against the bears like we did in week 1 our name will be Blue Waves of Opportunity for the opposing team  

[Shafty138 1,919]

It's like trying to pick your own nickname.... This never works when forced.  

[AZColt11 2,062]

The NoName defense?  I'd rather not give them one yet.

Overrated as of now. They have not really faced a good offense yet. By my eye test,  they still have a ways to go. I expect them to improve throughout the year.

Mr. 95%?

He started.  

 

Of the Safeties

Willis - 57 snaps/89% of available

Blackmon - 41/64%

Tavon Wilson - 23/36% 

Odom - 7/11%

 

Of the CBs

Carrie - 54/84%

Moore - 53/83%

Rhodes - 53/83%

Rodgers - 11/17%

Tremon Smit - 7/11%

 

Tavon looked very good. IMO, and outplayed Blackmon at least from a stats perspective.

Tavon had a PD, 4 solo Ts, and 2 TFLs.

Blackmon, in more snaps had one solo T.

 

Could have just been opportunity, but at minimum, Wilson embraced the opportunity presented him.

I love Blackmon as a long term prospect, but folks got a little over hyped over last game. Give him time though.

How about just sticking with "the Colt's Defense?"

"The Blue Blur"

Waaaay Overrated?

The Blue Ballers

The Swinging Tire -- They're pretty tough and solid, but if you're fast and accurate, you may be able to throw the ball quickly through the middle.

I love the enthusiasm, don't want to dampen it.  I really need to see them play against a quality offense or two or three before we start anointing them, nicknames are typically earned and become obvious, let's see what it looks like after game 8.  -Go Colts!

[Myles 4,274]

I like Blue Steel.

Just not yet.   

[pgt_rob 2,466]

It may change after next week.. lol 

[NewColtsFan 21,702]

Sorry.....

 

But we're three weeks into the weirdest, strangest season in NFL history.

 

We've played 3 teams and none of them are very good.

 

Our defense has looked very good in two of the games,   hugely disappointing in the other.

 

This defense has done NOTHING to deserve a nickname.

 

Come on......        

 

[WarGhost21 1,467]

Do you all remember that old music video, “The Sex Offender Shuffle”?

 

That part where they sing “We were bad, but now we’re good!”

 

Yeah, that sounds about right!

[IinD 3,076]

The Indianapolis 'we only won because we played the (insert any team name)' Colts vaunted defense.

 

Doesn't roll off the tongue though.

Lol, I'm not really enthused about our Defense. Like I said,  for fun while they are ranked high it be fun to give them a nickname BEFORE they start playing the better offenses and get exposed.

 

And personally I don't think there has been really truly great defenses last few years. Sure some will play well for a stretch but usually sooner than later teams will put up good numbers against them.

I'm getting 80s action movie vibes from Blue Steel.  Chuck Norris is. . . . Blue Steel!  Coming to a theater near you.

We solidify “Blue Steal” vs Pittsburgh this year on our way to the Chip. Buckner will be our Mean Joe Greene.  Leonard is our Lambert. Okereke may be Ham.  Hope this dream becomes a reality.

Doesn’t Cleveland have a special section of the dog pound called blue steel?  Wait sorry that’s pink not blue.

Maybe they're ranked that low because they played us? xD
