Name That Defense!!
People are trying to come up with a nickname for this defense … so far, I’ve not heard one that I’m convinced is a winner. While Serby seems to be selling “Bruise Brothers” and when asked, Dustin Keller suggested “Ouch!” and Ahmad “Batman” tried out “Goons.”
The other night driving home, John Rothstein was on the radio and was trying to sell me on “Rex’s Renegades.” Umm no. We know we’ve got some creative type folks out there (real “Mad Men” as it were) so let’s hear your thoughts. Some ideas if you are stuck:
- Rex / Wrecks is such a good wordplay to associate with defense
- They pressure / blitz / hit a lot .. it’s violent
- Alliterations can be good unless they suck (see John Rothstein’s attempt above)
Let’s hear your best in the comments. We’ll take the best and put it to a vote!

SHOCK AND AWE
Shock and awe, technically known as rapid dominance, is a military doctrine based on the use of overwhelming power, dominant battlefield awareness, dominant maneuvers, and spectacular displays of force to paralyze an adversary’s perception of the battlefield and destroy its will to fight.

Since I’m in this topic why hasn’t NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stepped in and fined this group yet?
Could it be because he is Kraft’s, Belichicks, and Brady’s bed mate!!!

The defense should be known as “Ryan’s Armageddon”, because Rex has the ability to unleash the NY Jets Unbridled “Rage”, “Havoc”, “Violence” and “Destruction” at will upon who he chooses!
Rage = Calvin Pace
Havoc = David Harris
Violence = Bart Scott
Destruction = Kris Jenkins -

Just an update to the list…..
The defense should be known as “Ryan’s Armageddon”, because Rex has the ability to unleash the NY Jets Unbridled “Chaos”, “Wrath”, “Rage”, “Havoc”, “Violence” and “Destruction” at will upon who he chooses!
Chaos = Darrelle Revis
Rage = Calvin Pace
Wrath = Shaun Ellis
Havoc = David Harris

DC-Rex and Green Monster are the best so far.
The team will not adopt a name that has an overtly negative connotation.
Think about the legacy of The York Sack Exchange. And then as mentioned above the classics such as Purple People Eaters, Fearsome Foursome, Doomsday Defense, etc
-
Brendan says:
kibbles and blitz is a good one.
-
for those calling for no nickname, relax. We are having fun. Giving our defense a nickname will not make it any worse if we suddenly lose five straight. Anyway, I believe in these guys a lot. They will have their bad games but they are real.
Who cares. It’s fun.

I should of looked it up before posting but the correct way to write it would be:
Kibbles ‘n Blitz

“Broadway Bullies’ really has an old school sternum crusher ring to it. I like that one.
otherwise, get in formation with the The Squadron- play like Jets baby
-
JetFanINLA says:
Broadway bullies gets my vote

and are we actually going to chant the word “kibbles “OMG!
-
john l,
No one is scared of a nickname… thats not really the point. The nickname should represent what we do. And our new identity seems to revolve around the Blitz on defense. Whatever we all decide is fine, but the name should reflect what we do.
-
Its not a chant… no one chanted NY Sack Exchange… its a nickname.
-
I like Broadway Bullies too

PickSix & NJets-
To come up with the right name here, I think you have to put each candidate through a series of tests:
1. Can you imagine some announcer guy like Al Michaels intoning the name on the air?
2. Can you imagine some daily paper like the Post or the News running that name as a banner headline across the top of a page?
3. Can you imagine fans in the stands holding up a huge poster with that name emblazoned across it?
I think D-Rex passes all three of these tests.
And okay, it might not be the best possible option there is in the world, but right now, I’d have to say that D-Rex is the best name anyone’s come up with on this thread.
-
true…we are looking for a nickname…. but i thought it would be cool if we could chant something besides “defense”.
nickname wise…. the teamsters is cool…. and would sell t shirts very easily…. u put jenkins, harris, scott, and revis on the front….

You’re tellin me you can’t see the headline
“BROADWAY BULLIES ROUGH UP PATSIES”
-or-
“BROADWAY BULLIES BEAT UP BUFFALO BILLS”as opposed to
“D-REX DOMINATES DOLPHINS”
ok, i admit, that’s not terrible, but i guess i just don’t want it tied so much to the coach… it’s about the team, or gang if you will. gang green. D-Rex is too easy to tear down with one bad coaching decision, or a coaching change… hopefully this defensive swagger becomes a culture here, and outlasts the names on the back of the jersey.
like dberger said though, no matter what I’m green and white till i die.

PickSix-
I think your headline examples make my point for me:
“D-Rex Dominates Dolphins”
is exactly the kind of banner headline you might see in the Post or the News.
As for not associating the name too closely with the coach, I take your point, but this defense IS the coach, it’s Rex’s D. Even the players would say so. If Rex weren’t here, we wouldn’t have this defense. Period.
One other way to look at it, though: Rex is also a symbol of this team, this team plays FOR him–and, yes, they play for each other, and for the fans, but it’s Rex who put the fire in their belly, it’s Rex who schooled them, it’s Rex who had tears in his eyes when he asked them to play their hearts out–and they did. Because of him.

I like the Rexecutioners and D-Rex are my favs but “Broadway Bullies” is good because it echoes “Broadway Joe” but is a team nickname. Right now it’s the D but by the end of the season the O could be just as punishing with the pounding backs and no one able to “Cover the Clown”. BTW, Stuckey should be our #3 because he blew 2 TD passes by 1.) not tapping his right toe (learn from Keller) and 2.) tripping over his own feet on a perfect Chez pass. I’d like to slide Clowney over both Stuck and Brad. He may suck at practice, Schotty, but when the lights come on, he’s tops.
-
Drew says:
99.9% of these names sound stupid as hell.
Rexual Assault?
We’re Gang Green people. Leave it at that.
However, for any good nick-name to work, it needs to be team-centric. i.e. Jets _____ not Rex ______. So something like a fighter jet reference would be good (stealth bombers, F16s, etc)

Bent says: “Stuckey should be our #3 because he blew 2 TD passes by 1.) not tapping his right toe (learn from Keller) and 2.) tripping over his own feet on a perfect Chez pass.”
Sanchez admitted himself that he missed that pass. Watch it again…Stuckey is running right to left and the pass is behind him – he only slips as he tries to reach back for the ball.
Anyway, who are you promoting to number two? Smith, Wright and Clowney have ZERO catches between them!
As for the defense, I have tons of ideas, but they’re all terrible! The name will present itself in good time…

2. yeah he shoulda kept his feet on that 2nd one!
to all the D-Rex votes out there… imagine the NFL films voice narrating over slow motion david harris kill shots and kris jenkins’ lineman tosses… now use D-Rex in a sentence describing the action… now plug in The Broadway Bullies (or other names you like) not just a headline, a goosebump inducing description of the action and attitude…i just can’t hear it with D-Rex.
do they call Pittsburgh the Lebombers? or DID they ever call Baltimore D-Rex? or the Lewis-ville Sluggers? negative.

Yea I get it But you go deep a couple times and it helps everyone out. The running opens up which helps the passing.

“Cortland Crushers”
-
We can’t name our defense after our head coach…
I like broadway bullies even more than the one I suggested(No Fly Zone)…I think it fits right having had Broadway Joe in our history
-
Lupz27 says:
I like to call Scott and Harris Assault and Battrery we could use that for the whole defense.
Also like the Green Fog cause thats what your QB is going to be in when were through with you.
-
vw says:
I like the suggestion to make it “Broadway Blitz” though Broadway Bullies has a nice ring to it. (D-Rex is good, but I think a unit focused name not a Rex focused name is better.)
-
So I like
ASSAULT & BATTERY
GREEN FOG
-
D-Rex is great.
No Fly Zone is also good.Some others (not as good):
The Wrexing Crew
The Black Box (the indestructible part of the jet) -
Mangini’s Meanies
Sutton’s Swarm
Parcels Punks
Gang Groh
Cottrell’s Crew
Henderson’s Hoodlums
Carroll’s Crushers
Robinson’s Rowdiesin memory of Michael Jackson….. Blanket
-
“DEFENSIVE INDIFFERENCE”
-
BobC says:
Shock and Awe!
is the best I’ve seen so far. It goes with the Jets theme and that big siren that sounds off at the stadium, like a air raid warning.

Tos9987 says:
Why cant you chant D-Rex . Seems simple to me . I like it the best short and sweet .
I like Broadway Bullies , definetly cant chant this but cool
-
Johnny Hector
LMFAO!!!! “GANG GROH”??? Thats just plain Hillarious!!!!
-
Who would of thought after 2 games we would all be sitting here trying to name this defense.
-
Shock and Awe is probably the best I have seen…involves current events, like “the Steel Curtain” of the 70s
-
What’s wrong with GANG GREEN. I say we leave it as is . Thats the best name we got why change it .C’mon JET fans lets vote to keep it as is. We are still Gang Green but with a different attitude and philosphy.
-
Broadway Bullies

D-Rex!
D-Rex!

Little world, step aside!
Better go underground,
Better run, better hide!We’re drawin’ the line,
So keep your noses hidden!
We’re hangin’ a sign,
Says “Visitors forbidden”
And we ain’t kiddin’!Here come the Jets,
Yeah! And we’re gonna beat
Every last friggin team

SACK, TACKLE, & POP!!!!!!

-
Broadway Bullies I don’t like!!! The reason l don’t like it, it’s a rip off of “The Broadstreet Bullies”, which everyone knows, refers to the Philladelphia Flyers of the 70′s!!!
IT’S GOTTA BE ORIGINAL!!!!

Jacob says:
The New York Minute
Old definition: You’re the first guy waiting behind a red light — in New York City, of course — it is the fraction of a second between that light turning green and the guy behind you laying on his horn.
Current definition: The amount of time opposing quarterbacks have to make a clean pass.
-
someone needs to have photoshop and put revis, scott and jenkins face on the snap crackle pop guys from rice krispies….SACK TACKLE POP!!!
-
George from Bklyn says:
I love the name ‘D-Rex’, but how about ‘Wall Street’ – it gives a nod to the NY Sack Exchange, but also describes the dominating play of our defensive linemen.
And just think of the new tag line – ‘Green is Good’….
-
How about The Reverse Traffic Light….where green means stop
-
The Great D-pression
-
Rexual predator says:
D-Rex is great.
The rexorcists might be even better.(comin for ya head and the green implication)
For a play on words, I came up with
-Weapons of Mass Destruction-
The Jets of Rex Destruction
Weapons of Rex destruction -
CoolRockSki says:
The Reverse Traffic Light ???
You didnt just suggest that. What are you smoking Meth ?LOL.
Thats the worst nickname suggestion ever.
LOL.
-
i know….figured someone would find it funny
-
So my two serious ideas are SACK TACKLE POP and The Great D-pression
-
AJetsFan says:
Guys, lets not get too excited yet. I watched the game again this week, and two things stood out to me. One, the blitzes never actually got there, and had Brady been his old self, he would have beat the blitz enough to make a big difference in the outcome of the game. Two, NE had a bunch of stupid correctable penalties that had a huge effect on their second half drives. So while I’m as excited as I’ve been in a long time, I’m not drinking the cool-aid until I see our guys being this competitive through 8 games. Then I will start dreaming of the possibilities.

Alex says:
Green Legion

Jimmy Shnoogen says:
Broadway Bullies sounds awesome… but bc people are complaining that its a rip off of Broad Street Bullies, I think Broadway Bruisers would be pretty cool…
The Swagger Dagger Defense is still cracking me up
-
Dax -from BedSty to Speed,NC says:
Here’s one that fits and goes very well with the air raid siren.”Attack Squadron”
-
brian says:
How about the “Green Meanies”!!!!
-
The Jets should hire Peter Max to draw caricatures of Harris, Scott, Revis, Rhodes….etc.
The “Green Meanies” invade the Meadowlands!!!
-
Jetski says:
The Green Goblins!!!!!!
-
I just read through the comments and noticed that a few people already said the Green Goblins…That is by far the best name..Just think: Fans could show up to the stadium wearing Green Goblin (the Marvel comic book character) masks!!!!!
-
Bent says:
“did’nt I hear Adam Schein come up with D-REX like 2 weeks ago??? So whoevers trying 2 claim credit 4 that one……SORRY!!!”
I don’t think anyone is trying to take credit for it. People have been using it on TJB since BEFORE he came here.
-
D-Rex is also a great name!!
-

Chanting “D-Rex” instead of D-fense at the game
Future graphic of a big green T-Rex with Rex’s head on it.
D-Rex will be roaming freely in the New Stadium AKA “Jetsrassic Park”
-
I think Blitzkreig Bop is my favorite so far

The Green Curtain

Basset,
I think you should grab every posted suggestion and turn it into a poll for us to vote on. Since we represent the majority of the fans for this team and with your connections maybe the one we select you can issue to the media as the official name.What do you think?

BigRexy says:
The REX-ecutioners. That is all.
-
SuffernJetsFan says:
Jets D – TOP GUN
Scott & Harris – SHOCK & AWE
Revis – THE BLANKET or SNUGGIE (lol)
Rhodes – THE RHODE BLOCK
Gholsten – LOST or THE NOMAD or STEALTH – because nobody sees or hears from him on the field -
GOTHAM GUARDSMEN – O-LINE
SPRUCE GOOSE SWAGGER- SECONDARY
DEVASTATORS- DEFENSEall 3 are WWll fighter jets
-
sjd1138 says:
How about “Whoop Ass”? (as in “a can of…”)
Or “Stock Crash”?
D-Rex is good except for two things… One, it depends too much on the coach, not the players. And two, a dinosaur is also generally used to mean that something is obsolete.
I like “Shock and Awe” a lot too.
-
SCJetsGirl77 says:
How about “MO-AD”? It’s a play on “MO-AB” (Mother Of All Bombs). MOTHER-OF-ALL-DEFENSE. Jets dropping bombs…it all fits w/ the air raid sirens!
-
1981 = NY Sack Exchange
2009 = Maul Street
-
Bill says:
This it to much fun!
The Perfect Swarm
-
OOOOOOOOO… Maul Street I like!
The Perfect Swarm too!! Good stuff guys.
-
the secondary should be called: “Completion Deletion”
-
Announce the “D-Rex” as a stadium chant and “Broadway Bullies” as a print ID. Instead of cut outs of “D and a fence”, it’s “D-REX” to let the fat man know we know he is The Man calling the shots!
Pick six: I missed Stuckey’s foot thing, thanks.
How many balls have gone their way: The Clown, Wright and Brad? I still like Clowney in the basic set over Chansi (use him in the slot) because the defense has to respect The Clown’s speed so he forces a tilt towards him and opens the field for the other receivers and the running game. And I do believe Chaz’s 1st pass went for 40 something to The Freakin Clown!
Was it Schotty’s idea to take the handcuffs off Franchize in the 2nd half or was it Rex who ordered it? Like when he told Schotty to throw to Clowney in pre-season that turned into a TD.
-
Josh, Montogomery County, MD says:
Go with the theme – “Mad Men”. It’s a perfect nickname.
-
A few more…
“Gang Green” or perhaps the “Gang of New York”
the “Mad Mob” (gotta love alliteration)
“Jetlag”
“Clusterbomb”
-
Here’s a good photo of a jet dropping some “Cluster Bombs”:

DEE REX! DEE REX! DEE REX!
Sexy Rexy likes to breakout of packages, run with abandon, mame and kill. Enjoy the thrill as these Prehistoric Blitzkrieg Bops in their “Remember the Titans throwbacks” as they Snap, Tackle and Pop QB’s to shreds, leaving a trail of ruin in their wake.
