OK old farts, like myself
Best defensive nicknames from the 60/70s. Extra points by naming the players.
You have:
1. Doomsday I. from 69-73
1a. Doomsday II, from 75 on
2. The Purple People Eaters
3. The Fearsome Foursome/
4. The Steel Curtain.
Mine is Doomsday 1. What they did to Bob Griese in the Super Bowl should be illegal. Bo Lilly, Jethro Pugh, George Andre and Larry Cole. If they would've had an Offense in 1970 they would've beaten the Colts also. Dam you Craig Morton
Gary Larsen was the 4th member of the Purple People Eaters
white guy. #77
Steel Curtain Joe Greene, Ernie Holmes, LC Greenwood (from Canton), Dwight White were the front four
I believe he asked for defenses

Several others that were good include, "The Orange Crush", "No Name Defense" and
and my personal fave, "The Doomsday Defense". Don't forget "The Monsters of the Midway" and "11 Angry Men".......
