Reaper Skins Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 If they play well the nickname will live in team history forever. If they suck they will be mocked mercilessly by our fan base and the rest of the league all season and "Capital Punishment" will become the new "winning off the field" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I dunno...Area 51 would have been a cool nickname for our safeties, had ST not been taken from us, and LL not sucked quite so bad. Won't lie... I actually liked that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 This is only cool if they do one of those cheesy Nike posters from the 80s featuring our d line pulling the lever on the 3 electric chairs. One cowboy, one Eagle, and one Giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Adama Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The Defense from last year should call themselves a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 This team has had way too many nicknames over the years. Â They could just make it easy on us and all adapt "Bad Boys". Â Or for the O-Line, "Chester and the Turnstiles". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Nicknames are a lost art in today's NFL- so unlike a lot of you scrooges I'm all for it! Â Aside from poor management, poor players, and poor coaching-- we also usually have poor team chemistry. Â If it takes a cheesy nickname to get our boys playing like a band of brothers, then I'll be the first one screaming it at FedEx when Tannehill gets KO'd by one of our big boys!

Forehead Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'd be fine with "Capital Adequate" at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecker Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That's stupid. If I ever see Pot Roast out on the street I'm going to punch him right in the face. Â Well I sure hope you can run faster than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metskins Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 This is so typical. Â Â A marketing invention without playing a down on the field. Â Color me shocked. Â Win some damn games and the fans will call you whatever you want, until then you're one of the worst defensive units in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeast Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Quote myself here... New nickname? Wasn't it "Capital Punishment/National Defense" back during the JG1 era? Its like using Hogs again. Totally destroy a few good offensive lines first, than we can think about naming it. Like in Fury...they all light up a cigarette and take a swig from the bottle, when it comes to Ellison's turn he takes a big swig from the bottle..."Goddamn, son. You a fighting, ****ing, drinking machine, ain't you? "Machine, that's it, that's his war name." Right now your name is Fat Pork Sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecker Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hopefully by mid season they will be called "The Stack and Sack Pack". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I don't even know why they'd want to be called Capital anything. Nothing gets done in that building now. Tell you what, if they go out there and can't get the job done, they can keep the nickname, because exactly what it will feel like. (Will delete or move to tailgate if necessary). As long as they are getting the job done and having fun, I'm not pressed on the nicknames (fan created or otherwise). I'm just tired of losing, bro. Stop talking, and stop losing already.

roanoker Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Im good with it as long as the DL gets penetration and doesn't get pushed back to the Capitol. We've already suffered enough punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Bass Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Right now, they suck, so they get a stupid name, like Terminator Genisys or Barry's Kids (Joe Barry).If they get penetration, we can call them The Penetrators.From there, they can work their way up to Capital Punishment.

thebluefood Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I believe a defense went by that nickname, as well as others.

@DCGoldPants Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Not sure about it. Seems too tricky for Doc Walker to remember. I think he'll come up with another name for them like "The Sacknados" or "Meastseses" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Well, last year's defense was called The Unsullied. .....because they were overhyped, had no balls, and were slaughtered whenever it counted most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
