I always did like Reggie White as "The Minister of Defense" but the Reggie Cobb/Chuck Webb "Cobbwebb" nickname was pretty cool for a duo..Anybody else have some good nicknames??

"Mean" Joe Green.

OJ Simpson: "The Juice."

1.) The Minnesota Vikings (from the 70's)

2.) ?

3.) Miami Dolphins defense (forget what era)

4.) The 80's Washington Redskins OL


Remember the Dolphin's defense in the 80's called "the killer B's" because so many of their last names started with B?

One of the great Vol offensive lines was referred to as "The REAL TVA"........

 

[DJVOL73]

"Mean" Joe Greene was very fitting.

my personal favorite :good!:

I love Reggie White's "The Minister of Defense" such a wonderful pun. But, #1 has to go to Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds. I can't think of a better nick for a linebacker. I wonder if hd ever found the car? And did he make Steve Kiner pay for the blades lol?
