    The entire Big Nasty defense from a couple years ago had nicknames, some of them are still here, but most are not .... Got any new nicknames for these guys?

    these guys don't deserve nick names until they start playing better.

    Oooh... It's an interesting topic, but I'm not so sure I can come up with positive nicknames based on what we've seen so far.

    After the Browns game I had referred to Mitchell as the "Mitchell two-step" because he always seems to arrive two steps too late to make a play. Tackles are nice, but not 15-20 yards downfield after a completion. However, that's not a nickname that I want to see stick - nor do I think he'll stink all season - I think he's just taking time to figure things out.

    Yup. Like Billy the Kid said in Young Guns II, gotta earn it.
