    Pretty simple question here; which nickname for the defense do you prefer.
    Last year Bulls on Parade was a good nickname for a Defense coming into there own but it seems that the Texans defense has a real knack for swatting passes down at the line, quickly becoming known for that. So which nickname fits best now that we have an actual identity?

    Swatt team is good, but it kinda singles out Watt even though many actually tip balls.

    Bulls on Parade is more intimidating and lends itself to the entire D.

    It would only single out Watt to the casual fan, a fan who watches the game should/would see an entire Defense who has a knack for it

    :)
    I did say many tip passes.

    Ok, how about this...Swatt singles out the tipped ball. Bulls on Parade sounds like they are all over the field trampling you.

    I like Swatt team, just not as much as BoP

    i like both names just as much as the other, but Swatt team actually has to do with the way our D plays.. Even though the Texans D is swarming and they do trample.. just a curious poll. Half my buddies like Swatt team other half like BoP, honestly could care less as long as were winning

    Never really cared for Bulls on Parade...Swatt team is better, but it does single him out and doesn't truly reflect the play of the defense as a whole.

    Not a fan of bulls on parade, never made sense. The Swat Team is better.

    I don't think the rest of the defense would like to be named Swatt Team.
