"Blue Streak"
It's lovely and layered. It's a tribute to the Orange Crush, and it emphasises that one of their main strengths is speed. And it has another meaning altogether. It's poetic.
Once we had the Orange Crush.
Now we have the Blue Streak.
Everyone knows how deadly Denver's defense is, especially in the redzone. This is just a combination of the two words, honoring their ability to finish opponents off.
They turn opponents Offense off.
The Blue Doom!
Teams can, climb over it or move it. Make it the Blue Wall if the color has to be part of it.
"THE BLUE BRUISE."
"THE BLUE BLIZZARD"
"shock and awe come on Jake"
The new uni's would be cool if they'd wear the orange more often :)
Orange Crush Forever! :)
BLUE- FOR THE UNIFORMS.
CRUSH- FOR THE "BIG HITS"
how does this sound?
"MANNING WAS JUST LAID OUT BY DENVERS'"BLUE CRUSH"..AWESOME!!
They are rough and tough, can adapt, and handle difficult situations including quick changes in the weather (In Colorado, if you don't like the weather wait 15 minutes). For example, the Broncos are looking good against the Browns when the weather hits (I mean Jake throws an interception) leaving the Mountain Men with their back's against the Snowy Rocky Mountain peaks.
ala: Monsters of the Midway"
But don't say Denver
Just say, the mountain men D-fence
That sounds great....
ORANGE BRUNCH
SPEED MELONS

Here are the best names:
The Denver Chill

This is becasue they ICE the opposing offense
"MILE HIGH FROSTBITE" Defense
They know their X's & O's
Much of the defense is comprised of eX-Cleveland players
They can X-out any offensive assault
They know their X's & O's
Much of the defense is comprised of eX-Cleveland players

In my book, they're the skilled super heroes of the team

String: A group of several horses designated for use by a cowboy. Each horse has a different athletic ability and disposition. A cowboy chooses his mount for the day according to the work to be done that day: corral work, big-circle, gather, etc.
It plays on words: not only is the team in the Mile-High City and Mile-High stadium, but getting past them is like climbing a wall that is a mile high.
In honor of the Cleveland transplants.
"The “Gave Up Looking For a Contrived Nickname That No One Will Remember After Getting Torched By The Colts� defense."
I don't care who you are, that's funny right thar.
My favorites:
Top 4 – (Very close call -- position could be reversed as these are all very good):
1)Bruise Brothers (Denver's Bruise Brothers D has just finished bashing the Browns on this blustery October day, brutally beating them into submission, as they have done untold times before...)
2)Blizzard ("Denver's Blizzard D has been swirling around Peyton Manning all afternoon, denying his ability to see downfield and spot a receiver in the clear...")
3) Deadzone (If you make it into the red zone, you won't get past the Deadzone)
4) Mile High Hitmen (could easily be #1 choice. Sounds really cool, and could catch on quickly if a big sportscaster used it at an appropriate time -- for instance, late in the 4th quarter after Denver's D has just dealt a crushing defeat to a big-time player such as Peyton Manning on national TV. “Mile High Hitmen strike again. Snipers in disguise…..)
3) Lynch Mob …. sounds nastiest, named after Denver's defensive captain -- who Madden is nuts about, by the way. Would be more appropriate if Lynch was dominating like a Ray Lewis or L.T -- but it sounds nasty anyway.
3) Blue Crush -- Comes off the tongue easily. Gives props to the earlier Denver defenses of the 70's, who were dominating. With all due respect however, I think we need a new moniker. You can't go wrong with 'Blue Crush'. Its the easy choice. But it’s not necessarily the choice for a 'new generation'. …. Just this man's opinion.
4) Bailey Bondsmen (Champ -- future Hall of Famer, unquestioned star and leader of Denver's D in its greatest season).... However, doesn't quite measure up to old-school names such as "Purple People Eaters", or "Orange Crush". "Bailey Bondsmen" is an appropriate name for the secondary - an 'elite' skill position that few can play, not the entire Defense.
My choice? Tough. But I still choose "Bruise Brothers".
You need a name the whole country can wrap its arms around and embrace, not just Denver fans. To capture the hearts of a nation, you need something somebody who wasn't a Broncos fan before can remember you by. Think of it like this: Remember how we all rooted for the Bears in 85?' Even if you weren't a Bears fan? Kinda like that. “Bruise Brothers is also an ode to the 85' Bears, who, along with the 2000 Ray Lewis Ravens set the standard for modern defensive excellence. They set records, just like the Broncos’ D of 2006.
Hell, I think we are better even than the 85’ Bears. Find a statistic to prove me wrong…..
I welcome comments on my analysis.

Ian Gold
Bronco Blitzkrieg
Blue Invasion
Blue Man Crew
It sounds sci-fi. As for Mrs. Manning's boy, I'd like to introduce him to Ebenezer. Enjoy looking at the blue Mile-High sky this weekend on your back Peyton.
I believe the bronco D should be called; " NO MAS" defense because they believe in no more yards..
Rushin’ Crushin’ Orange
Mile High Mayhem
Orange Swarm
Rocky Mountain Swarm
Orange man group
“Once again, it’s Denvers’ Dastardly D, coming to the rescue and committing dastardly deeds against ………� or
“Today the ‘Rushin’ Crushin’ Orange’ was Rushin and Crushin’ the opposing QB!!� etc.
Remember, the name needs to sound good on ESPN Highlights too!!
The Blue Menace
or the “Mile High Avalanche�?
or "Please Jake... don't screw this up"?
I know the last one I seem to be saying to myself every week!
THE VISE SQUAD (not Vice)
They put the other team's offence in a VISE.
Go Broncs!
If the defense holds-up against the Colts, then we might say that opponents have run into a "Rocky Road."
DeadZone also works - we could use the same song.....
Jeopardy Defense - stoopid, I know but I like the theme song as Peyton steps to the line and the play clock winds down.
I submit the "D-CLAMP DEFENSE" as my choice.
1) Blue Crush
2) Denver Crush
3) Mile High Menace
4) Broncos Brigade
5) Broncos Barricade
I like the Lynch Mob best really. We could have both, one for the defense and one for the red zone part of the field.
I say both!! Hang your banners!
The new name for the Denver Broncos defence is.
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN LYNCH MOB
or
THE BLIZZARD BOYS
Need for Speed
Death Storm
Countdown to kickoff
The Blue hole
EVEREST or a variation of Killamanjaro

Not "the thunder" or mile hi thunder, just "thunder
OR, we finnally got a good corner and then lucked out and actually DRAFTED a good corner defense!
They are the Gumby defense.
"Gum-D"
THAT DOSENT WORK LETS KEEP DOING IT.
SHORTEST GUY ON TALEST GUY ALL DAY LONG.
WHATS MAN COVERAGE?
WHATS A BLITZ?
SAM BRANDON CAN'T COVER.
WE REFUSE TO HELP DERRANT WILLIAMS.
PLEASE KEEP THROWING IT TO REGGIE WAYNE WE PROMISE TO NOT COVER HIM.
PASSRUSHLESS
GO LONG WE CAN"T STOP YOU, GO SHORT WE CANT STOP YOU.
WE GIVE UP
Well, broncos fans the colts showed the rest of NFL today that the broncos defense is just another average defense at best! We have NO PASS RUSH, NO COVER CORNERS other than CHAMP BAILEY! And Coyer has NO ability to make adjustments!
1. Rushing the 4 lineman the entire game! Does Coyer or Shannahan know what a BLITZ is? Do they know to give the No Covering Darrent Williams Help?
2. Keep passing it to Reggie Wayne--Its working, and the broncos can't seem to figure that out? What an embaressment, What a Joke!
3. So here are three nicknames--Ready?
A. THE NBD BOYS! The No Blitz Defensive Boys
B. THE CCD BOYS! The Cant Cover Defensive Boys.
C. THE OPD BOYS! The Over Paid Defensive Boys!
Just so all the Broncos Fans know--I am not complaining! I am merely pointing out the defensive unit of the Denver Broncos is not as good as published! Today the Colts showed the rest of NFL how to beat Denver--PASS! They can't stop it!
Champ Bailey will spend some of his February playing football on an Island (Hawaii), but Darrent "Castaway" Wiliams was alone on an island this Sunday.
"Wilson!!! I'm sorry!"
Here is a big secret Bronco fans - Peyton is throwing to Reggie Wayne.
Coyer should be fired immediatly. NO ADJUSTMENTS!!!!!??????
And nice Offensive play calling on the last 3 downs. UP THE GUT 1 YARD UP THE GUT 1 yard!! then THROW INTO THE DIRT WHEN YOU COULD RUN IT INTO THE END ZONE?? WHY NOT GO FOR IT ON 4th? everyone knew it would be WAYNE WAYNE WAYNE FEILDGOAL!! COME ON DONATE YOU SARARIES TO THE FANS!! seriously good job jake, and RUSHING O line, other than the fumble and the pass into the dirt when you could have easily ran for a first.
My congrats to Darrent Williams on making Reggie Wayne a sure lock for this yr's Pro Bowl. Good job coach!
How many post moves does it take to lose a Denver cornerback?
Somebody help Darrent and let him know that we found Reggie Wayne!
Say it with me, HELLO! MY NAME IS ______. I'M A BRONCOS FAN. I JUST HAD MY HEART HANDED TO ME IN A PAPER SACK.
They are the bend but don’t break defense.
They are the Gumby defense.

Well they certainly seems like the Colts took that Gum-D, chewed it up, blew a bubble and made it pop with a needle name Wayne. But sounds like a good name to me.
Oh the Humanity!!!!!!!

Listening and talking to children about their concerns can reassure them that they will be safe. Start by encouraging them to discuss how they have been affected by what is happening around them. Even young children may have specific questions about tragedies. Children react to stress at their own developmental level.
The Caring for Every Child's Mental Health Campaign offers these pointers for parents and other caregivers:
* Encourage children to ask questions. Listen to what they say. Provide comfort and assurance that address their specific fears. It's okay to admit you can't answer all of their questions.
* Talk on their level. Communicate with your children in a way they can understand. Don't get too technical or complicated.
* Find out what frightens them. Encourage your children to talk about fears they may have. They may worry that someone will harm them at school or that someone will try to hurt you.
* Focus on the positive. Reinforce the fact that most people are kind and caring. Remind your child of the heroic actions taken by ordinary people to help victims of tragedy.
* Pay attention. Your children's play and drawings may give you a glimpse into their questions or concerns. Ask them to tell you what is going on in the game or the picture. It's an opportunity to clarify any misconceptions, answer questions, and give reassurance.
* Develop a plan. Establish a family emergency plan for the future, such as a meeting place where everyone should gather if something unexpected happens in your family or neighborhood. It can help you and your children feel safer.
If you are concerned about your child's reaction to stress or trauma, call your physician or a community mental health center.
