Around SBN: Interview With UMD Athletic Director, Dr. Debbie Yow

Name the Bronco's Defense, part deux


Do you know why they call the Dallas Cowboys America's Team?  Because they are over-hyped and broke.

*rimshot*

One thing that is not over-hyped or broke is the Denver Bronco's Defense.  Pick your favorite name or create one of your own.  Please remember that nothing rhymes with orange.

The "Garbage Men" option is not meant to be derogatory.  It is in reference to Mark Schlereth of ESPN calling Denver's front seven "garbage" in the pre-season.

Door hinge.

The closest possible thing that rhymes with orange – and also not very inspiring.

Just had to put that out there. Carry on…

At this point in the season, all the Rockies' numbers are magic.

Nice

But Door Hinge Defense doesn’t sound very promising.

Farting in the huddle is not "gamesmanship".

I voted "Clockwork Orange".

Nickname already used...

by the Superbowl-winning O-line. In my XXXII special edition SI one of the articles is about how they would fine each other (one of them, can’t remember who, got a really comedic/ironic/well-deserved one), even for things like talking to the media. The latter part is also where the nickname came from.

Heh, imagine if they did that now: don’t talk, get fined by the league. Talk, get fined by your brothers.

Because Montana has no professional sports, I gotta support the land of my birth.

true. Forgot about that.

No nickname needed

I would vote for them not to have a nickname. One of the things I like about the defense is they epitomize “team” they are not a collection of stars or even mis-fits. They are just a bunch of guys that go out there and play hard every down. They are Denver Broncos, period. No nickname needed.

Team Play

and a nickname are not mutually exclusive, IMHO. A nickname is just a nice, easy, creative way to reference something.

Anytime our defense is terrific, I like the old “Orange Crush”.

I don't care

What anyone else says, but I think it would be an honor to the old team, and a great thing for the fans to bring back the Orange Crush. Not the Orange Crush part Duex or redux

Just Orange Crush. That should be the name of our defense for all time. Not just when they are amazing.

That would really make the name even more significant to the guys who played it who can say….yes…..WE started that….and it would make the name more significant to the guys currently playing……they can say YES WE continued that heritage.

Overall I don’t think any other nickname will ever be able to compete.

BIG ORANGE D

From the previous Broncos’ helmet with the Big Orange D. Forget the little white picket D-Fence, everybody bring a Big Orange D to the game and wave it hollering OD OD OD OD…

No Consensu

Well, I guess the name of the Denver D is “other”. But, I still reserve the right to call the special teams “Prieffer Madness”
