We Had The Legendary LOB. What About Beasts Of Burden?

[AROS]

Isn’t it a bit to early to declare this a defense worth a nickname? A couple good games doesn’t make a LOB.

Ah stop being party poopers peeps! Have a little harmless fun, it won't bite!

I don’t know. Has there been a new incarnation of the Purple People Eaters? The Steel curtain? Monsters of the Midway? Killer Bees? Nope. Defensive nicknames belong to a certain set of players. When they are done so is the nickname. Next up.

Seattle sets precedent. We dont follow it.

Sorry Aros, not feeliing it. Beasts of burden get me thinking of oxen, big lumbering animals that are basically stupid and following their handlers orders.

I need images of something faster, more violent like cheetahs or birds of prey. Y'know?

This defense is two games old (since Dodson was cut) and will probably change again when Chenna gets back. Hard to put a name on a defense we’ve seen play twice.

If they keep getting defensive scores and holding teams under 20 points, they might earn a name. But who knows what is the character of this team?

The Seattle Seahawks defense.

They don’t deserve nicknames, those are reserved for once in a decade defenses.

The Seahawks defense this year is near the bottom in every category.

Just three games ago people were calling for MacDonalds head and screaming for Pete Carroll.

The defense is on a strong upswing, but the point remains, they don’t deserve a nickname.

Baby boomers never grow up...

A beast of burden is literally a menial labor non-impressive animal except being strong....not exactly a complimentary phrase for our boys.

 

[projectorfreak]

You can't force a nickname.

Gotta be organic
before you can even give a nickname it has to be really obvious what the defense does best , i.e. everybody knows what the legion did and that was hurt people and or bring the boom , for complete lack of a better way to put it

So at this point they might be THE M&M's
The peanut kind are my favorite too lol

Just because of MacDonald I’ll contend with “the Slaughterhouse” or more pg “the Farm” or “the Barn”.
