Since the Orange Crush days Denver hasn't had a catchy nickname for its Defense. This year's crew is more plucky than in years past so I think it is time for a name. Here's a few I came up with, maybe you can come up with more.
Latin: Scorus Interuptus
50's Band: BDAwk and the Ball Hawks
That's Punny: Legion of Doom
Doom's Day
Gloom and Dumerville
Doom and Gloomerville?
Elvis has left the building...to sack the QB
Too close?: Orange Crunch
PG13: The other Mile High Club
Movies: Men in Orange
Doom with a View
Parrothead: Wasted away again in Dumerville
Sour grapes: Cutler Who?
Military: Shock and Awwww.....Crap
Weapons of whoopass Destruction
Our Secondary is a bit old....: No Backfield for Old Men
Grumpy Old Men
Damnation: Nolan's Inferno
Hell's Backfield
Prognostication Retribution: Garbage Men ("Denvers front seven is garbage" -Schlereth 8/09)
Clayton's Mistake
Wrong Paige
Too many late-night infomercials: Gridirons Gone Wild
Dawkins' favorite line: It Matters Not
Gamers only: Wizards of Sack Craft
Donkey Kong
Milky: Got Punter?

Lol. Nice.
I was suprised to see only one Nolan reference though, but here’s another for ya:
McNolan’s X-Men
(McDaniels, Nolan, Dawkins, and the unknown all wrapped in one!)
It's Orange Crush Time!

Dude, very funny, I like these 3 the most
Nolan’s Inferno
Orange Crunch
The Other Mile High Club
Thanks for giving me a good laugh
Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
Funny post
I really appreciated the categories accompanying the names. What about Blue Crush? Oh wait, that’s that teenie surfer chick movie from like 2000. Oh well. I tried.

Blue Ballhawks...Or the Blue Ballas? (Ballers)
ROFL, also I can’t believe I would say BDawk the BallHAWK and not think to use that as a name for the whole defense……Shakes angry fist of rage

The Garbage Men
I’m continuing my campaign to draw attention to Mark Schlereth’s “Stinky” evaluation of our front 7.
The Garbage Men… Takin’ out the Trash!

Love Schlereth
But I couldn’t believe when he said that. It’s one thing for a fan to say it, but a guy who played in the NFL ought to know how hard it is to get there and play there. It was just disrespectful.

Yep!
That would be my vote
"3rd and 6, Elway shotgun... Elway, scrambling, looking, running-- DIVING!!!-- inside the 5 yard line for a first down! Is he only 37?! How important is this football game? How bad does John Elway want to win this football game? Where you see the quarterbacks go down: Not Elway!"

Herd of Pain

RMN contest
I’m dating myself here, but the RMN some years (decades) ago ran a contest to name the Denver D following a trademark dispute with the soda makers of Orange Crush. I believe the name that won was “The Thundering Herd”, much along the lines of your thinking.

I really hate to pose this......
But can we just implement calling every GREAT defense we have Some variation of the Orange Crush? I mean it just doesn’t get better………Elvis and the Orange Crush?
Perhaps we could go with Dawkins’ Heroes……….Doom and the Goon squad?
OR JUST ORANGE CRUSH V 2!!!!! idk…some ideas

Thanks for all the comments
I hope no one thought I was being rude for not responding — just packin up the fam for a three day trip to Yosemite. I’ll chat with you folks on Sunday when the Broncos errr…. buck the Cowboys.

Good read very clever
I’d go with something more simple like, “The stampede”. It reminds me of our 5-2 blitz packages.
Under sour grapes, I would add:
Raji who?
Orakpo who?
2010 first-rounder who?
I’m not really serious, just thought I’d point it out. :)

Our uniforms are mostly blue right ?
call them the ………. BLUE CRUSH ………!

Legion of Doom
Dawkins is the leader, Champ is the best, but “Legion of Doom” has the best ring to it. And at the end of the year, Dumervil will be the face of our defense.
Wait until week 5
I hate to be a party pooper, but seriously—Let’s wait til we manhandle the cowboys to nickname our defense.

i don't wanna rain on anyones parade
but naming the Defense after a player doesn’t really fit into the team concept very well.
