    The Electric Fence/Cage (some variation or another) - Watt & Co... Reliant. (Electric Company is already taken by that great Bills offensive line)

    I like the sound of "Superbowl Championship Defense" more than a gimmicky made up nickname. A made up nickname is too much like the letterman jackets fiasco, no thanks...

    It needs to come organically, all these suggestions are trying too hard

    I associate Bulls on Parade with the Wade Phillips era defense, I don't refer to them as that anymore

    I have to agree with a previous poster. Nicknames almost sound gimmicky and like a cartoon character team. I like the analogy of the 85 Bears. Let the team speak for itself. 2017 Texans. Watt & Co. definitely not. Our defense was #1 without him and give the rest of the guys some credit without putting Watt's name in front. We have some awesome guys on this team, and hopefully we will crush defenders this year.

    I'm usually not one to outright dismiss fandom, but nicknaming is beyond the lamest of the lame. If it happens, it happens. 95% of the time when it doesn't just let it be...

    Monsters of Harris County

    or

    Harris County Swamp Things

    or

    Swamp Things United Brothers (STU brothers)

    Edited: I would like "Monsters of the Woodlands"---sounds more ominous;

    Sugarland may have something to say about that.

    "Vrabels Vigilantes"

    Probably not PC (politically correct)

    Ha. We might go "Fornicators" if we go that route.

    Cheating our offense while screwing the other team.
