In the style similar to "the Steel Curtain", Seahawks D would be...

THE BIRD CAGE

It just too fitting for us, especially at the Clink, against our D be prepared to get a fistful of talon. However, if you're too insecure because of the Williams/Lane movie like 20 years ago... other names I like in respective order:

THE BLITZKREIG

I almost like this as much as "the Bird Cage" because the description below is almost spot on in which our defense likes to do.

From Wikipedia: Blitzkrieg (German, "lightning war"About this sound listen (help·info)) is an anglicised term[1][2][Notes 1] describing a method of warfare whereby an attacking force spearheaded by a dense concentration of armoured and motorized or mechanized infantry formations, and heavily backed up by close air support,[6] forces a breakthrough into the enemy's rear through a series of deep thrusts; and once in the enemy's rear, proceeds to dislocate them by utilizing speed and surprise, and then encircle them.[7][8] Through the employment of combined arms in maneuver warfare, the blitzkrieg attempts to unbalance the enemy by making it difficult for them to respond effectively to the continuously changing front, and defeat them through a decisive vernichtungsschlacht (battle of annihilation).[7][8]

THE DREADNOUGHT

"Revolutionary" "first of its kind" warship that was a Global "symbol of power" in the early 1900's.

THE STORMCLOUD

No explanation needed. Just think of the Seahawks D has those annoying cartoon rainclouds that follow emotionally sunken down-trodden characters. In this case, opposing offenses.

BEHOMETH, LEVIATHAN, AND ZIZ or THE B-L-Z

At first it was just Blue Leviathan. But doing the research, there were three monsters that inhabited the earth in old Middle Eastern mythology, and they were given names. Behemoth, the earth monster, aka our Big D-Line, Leviathan, the sea monster, aka our Linebacker/Leo group, and Ziz, the air monster, aka Legion of Boom.

THE BLUE CATASTROPHE or THE GRAY CASTASHTROPHE

We be raining on parades all day with destruction and chaos.

SONIC DYNAMITE

Sort of a read-in-between-the-lines reference to the Legion of Boom. Its also an album by the German band, Pink Cream. Pink cream, reminds me of a similar term, pink mist. And since "the grassy knoll" we all know what that is about. Our D creates "pink mist".

First Time posting. Long time observer. How about the front 7 or the whole defense being known as The Apex predators. An apex predator is at the top of the food chain. Not afraid of anything, not threatened by anything. King of the mountain, baby.
