Ok, it is still May, and there isn't too much to talk about right now except hype and speculation. And this defense still has to prove their worth on the field. No teal koolaid, and not putting the cart before the horse. But, if this defense can live up to it's anticipation and hype, then nicknames will and must come.
So, this is a thread about possible defense nicknames. We had the "dreaded D" years ago. If the talent, speed, pass rush, length of defenders, etc can make a difference this season, then we should be expecting a high amount of turnovers. If that's the case, I like "Den of Thieves".
HAS to be The Teal Curtain.

If it comes to fruition, there would be nothing better than "Sacksonville"

Was unaware that Teal Curtain was linked to Pittsburgh . I don't really know all the ins and outs of the other 31 teams I am afraid.
My bad .

Hmmm really??
The 70s Steelers defense was known as the Steel Curtain if I'm not mistaken.
Can we wait till they play first or nah?

Sorry for seeming like an [BLEEP] about it, just thought everyone knew.

No. Lol. I gave the disclaimer in the original post. Just some fun until there is something to really talk about.
I had chose Den of Thieves because large cats have a den, and would be stealing the ball from other teams. But I don't particularly care for the connotation associated with Den of Thieves.
How about...the Duval Wall? Gotta a cool sound to it

No worries .
I am pretty clued up from David Garrard onwards mind you .
Stonewall Jackson for Malik Jackson
They have to earn a nickname first
Sacksonville is really the only good one but we need sacks first
Sacksonville and nothing less
How about Ralph?
I like that one.
