What Would You Nickname The Commanders Offense?
When it comes to making plans, you are the best. What about those round trips, which are perfect on your way there and perfect on your way back? Or those meetings with friends, surprise parties, camps, birthdays. The same way you plan for the important moments, start planning to protect you and your loved ones from a natural disaster. Sign up for local weather and emergency alerts, prepare an emergency kit, and make a family communications plan. Get started at ready.gov/plan. I'm brought to you by FEMA and the Ad Council. Yesterday on this show, Danny, it came to our attention that we needed to name the commander's offense. We don't have a name for this clinical, nearly flawless unit that has been the best in football over the last couple of weeks. So I want to open up the MGM National Harbor listener lines at 800-636-1067. I want people to take to Twitter or Instagram at Grand H. Paulson at Funnydany. And I want you to send your suggestions for the nickname we're going to come up with today and use henceforth for this juggernaut of an offense that Cliff Kingsbury put together run by Jaden Daniels. Because you know this, Danny, we love our nicknames of units in the NFL. We like to do that. Purple people leaders, Steel Curtain, no-name defense, greatest show on turf, the hogs. Or the greatest show on earth is another way you could put that. Oh, that's a good question. Very good at a little iteration. The fun bunch, right? We need a nickname for this offense. So I will allow you to give us our first suggestion. I brainstormed for a while, and I think there are no bad ideas when you brainstorm, but I found a way to come up with several. Nothing really hits me and grabs me. I don't feel like I've got it yet, but I want to get the ball rolling. Okay? I wanted something that reflects what it is that's happening. Kind of playing on a little bit of a play of words too, right? That's typically how nicknames happen. Smash and dash. And it's sort of like a smash and grab robbery, although we're not robbing anybody. But we're smashing you, Brian Robinson's going to thump, and then it's stuff on the outside, a little catch and run. Isn't smash and dash an actual term for when you like break someone's car window, grab something out of it and then run away? That's a smashing grab where there are a few of those reports written in the district, Columbia over the last few years. Totally. But again, I agree with all of you guys out there, and I disagree with all the people that are wrong. Just I'm on your side. I just want everyone to know I stand for the right thing and against the thing that's bad. Politically speaking, we're voting for the same people. Yeah, like I think exactly what you think. Um, so that's what I thought of. I don't know that I love that, but I think I like it. I think it's kind of a way to get the ball rolling. Smash and dash. I think smash and dash is actually really good. I think it's too similar to smash and grab. Like when I hear if someone just said smash and dash as I was walking through the hallway here, I would go. Oh, no. Oh, no, what they take, you know, what would you lose? So that one's tough. What else you got? I have no punts. It's the no punt offense. Oh, the NPO. Yeah. Cause you're like, and you got the acronym. So I was going to go to the no punt offense, the NPO because everyone runs the RPO, everyone's RPOing all the time. So I've got the NPO, the no punt offense, no pun offense is pretty good. Now I can't take credit for this one that I'll pitch. This is a former producer at one oh six, seven. The fan, this will date him a little bit. He was involved in the Mike Wise show, but I keep in touch with our buddy, Matty Emanuel, Matty Ice. And he texted me yesterday when I said we needed a nickname for the offense and I actually thought this one's really good. The thrill on the hill, throw on the hill. We're looking at Capitol Hill and DC, right? Just a way of another way of talking about DC. The thrill on the hill. Pretty damn good. What do you think? I like that one too. I like that one too. It's not alliteration to be clear that is rhyming, which is different than alliteration. But I think the thrill on the hill has some potential. So we've got smash and dash thrill on the hill. I really like this one, but I'm afraid people will think it's negative or like picking fun. And it's not my intention. It's working. It's awesome. It's how the league works. But here's how about this one? You know the air raid, right? Yep. How about the horizontal scramble raid? It's a mouthful. But there's, I see what you're doing. We're trying to quantify this thing. The horizontal scramble raid. They throw the ball sideways. What about the horizontal scramble? I just kind of like that. I have air raid. Horizontal scramble is definitely something your buddy tried in Cleveland once. Yeah. You know, like he got in a little trouble with his girlfriend for doing. He was in the, he was in a horizontal scramble situation. Had to get a shot of penicillin. The horizontal scramble raid. Too much or just right? That one's a mouthful. Because I see exactly what you're trying to do. And it takes everything that we're doing and puts it into a nickname. What are some nicknames of great offenses? The greatest show on turf was one. Is it more of a defensive thing generally? Yeah. I think of, it's usually defense. But like, I think a rex, when you, when you, I'll try one on you. When you think of the rex Ryan teams where he's eating snacks, Mark Sanchez, et cetera, they played ground and pound. Right. Right. That's so borrowing from wrestling, borrowing from, you know, UFC, et cetera. And you know exactly what that offense was. They're going to thump you. This group is there to thump and do something else too. Horizontal scramble. Horizontal scramble. Thump and dash. I thought about thump and grind. Also, but again. Thump and grind is pretty good. Yeah. Why are all of yours a lot like things that have nothing to do with football? Yeah. That's where my mind goes. Like, again, this is a brainstorming session. We're just all like some random usher. My confessions are something while the thump and grind works their way down the field. So here's what we got. I'm just thinking all the time. Steel curtain, defense, fearsome force. Defense. Greatest show on turf ovens, purple people leaders, defense, doomsday. Defense. The 70s. Legion of boom. Monsters of the midway. No name defense. We have the posse, the triplets. Orange crush, the hogs. Yep. The posse. The fun bunch. New York sack exchange. It is mostly defense. That shouldn't stop us. Nope. What's your favorite so far? I think NPO. It's better than Thrill on the hill. Because they know there's no, nobody plays on the hill. They'll do anything on the hash burn and then Northwest. We're just calling them. It's just DC. I know what it is. Yeah, then anything in DC. I can see it. I like throwing the hill to. The no pun offense. The NPO. The NPO took the field. Tresway punted twice. Hmm. All right. Let's go to Mike who's in DC on Grant and Danny. What's up, Mike? What's up, fellas? So I'm driving just kicked down my little one from school. So I thought about a nickname for the offense. We don't call him the capital punishment because the way we be punishing defenses, we just taken over. And also capital punishment. New nickname for the commander's defense. I like it. Well, the problem is it is a defensive name and the nickname for the defense already is where are you? But that was the old Redskins defense nickname. Well, they won the Super Bowl 91. Exactly. But it's a punishment is defense, not offense, in my opinion. Like if we were doing a topic because they'd given up three points and they had forced all of the puns. There's been one scoring drive. Maybe you could go convince me of capital punishment. This is the offense. This is a different thing altogether. Eight hundred six three six one oh six seven is the number thumping grind. I'm going to throw out. I'm just going to say that one doesn't have legs. Although I do want to say these are my confessions. Horizontal scramble rate. You're throwing that. I got to throw it out. Even though I know it's it's the right thing, but I just can't say it. It's so good though. It describes what you're going to say. It's like what it is. Smashing dash. Smashing dash. I like it. I still like that one. We'll keep it. I feel like someone just broke the glass on my driver's side window. Thrill on the hill. I'm keeping. I'm sorry, but I'm keeping it. Don't apologize to me. But I know you're not happy about the whole DC thing. I'm perfectly happy. You don't like that they don't play. I don't. I don't love the fact that there's nothing in the same. What if they went back to RFK Stadium? Now you've got to throw on the hill. Thrill on the hill. Thrill on the hill. When it comes to making plans, you are the best. What about those round trips which are perfect on your way there and perfect on your way back? Or those meetings with friends, surprise parties, camps, birthdays.
