Name That Defense!!

Posted on September 22nd, 2009 by Bassett

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.

I like the Green Goblins just because of the meaning:

Goblin –noun
a grotesque sprite or elf that is mischievous or malicious toward people.

Synonyms:
Goblin, gnome, gremlin refer to supernatural beings thought to be malevolent to people. Goblins are demons of any size, usually in human or animal form, that are supposed to assail, afflict, and even torture human beings:

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!

or
TF – Total Force
or
DZ – Drop Zone

Maybe like the F-22 Raptor say:
FU-22 Defense

From Mythology:
Eatemus Rex (instead of Oedipus Rex)

Rex means King in Latin so:

King of Schwing
Kings of Sting
Kings of Pain

I could go on but I won’t.

I personally like Rexual Chocolate…too funny.
Ben Nevis, on September 22nd, 2009 at 6:06 pm Said:

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.

You’re tellin me you can’t see the headline

“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.

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)

“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…

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.

For a play on words, I came up with

-Weapons of Mass Destruction-

The Jets of Rex Destruction

BrianB, on September 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 am Said:

So my two serious ideas are SACK TACKLE POP and The Great D-pression
AJetsFan, on September 23rd, 2009 at 2:15 am Said:

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.

Jimmy Shnoogen, on September 23rd, 2009 at 2:17 am Said:

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

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!!!

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 will be roaming freely in the New Stadium AKA “Jetsrassic Park”

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?

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

sjd1138, on September 23rd, 2009 at 10:04 am Said:

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, on September 23rd, 2009 at 10:10 am Said:

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!

the secondary should be called: “Completion Deletion”
simplysimon2, on September 23rd, 2009 at 10:52 am Said:

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, on September 23rd, 2009 at 11:05 am Said:

Go with the theme – “Mad Men”. It’s a perfect nickname.
sjd1138, on September 23rd, 2009 at 11:26 am Said:

A few more…

“Gang Green” or perhaps the “Gang of New York”

the “Mad Mob” (gotta love alliteration)

“Jetlag”

“Clusterbomb”

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.
