Possible nickname(s) for our running backs?

[carcosa]

As we all know, every great backfield needs a cool nickname. With the news of Akeem Hunt's promotion, I have discovered two candidates for such a nickname. Without any further ado, they are:

The Huntsmen of the West

and

The Church Backfield 2: Back 2 Church

I shall explain each nickname presently.

The Huntsmen of the West:
Kareem Hunt + Akeem Hunt = (two) Huntsmen
And then of course, Charcandrick West's last name is West, which is also the name of a region of the United States where huntsmen were common.

This nickname is cool because the running backs will "hunt" for holes and kill them in order to "go west" to the end zone.



The Church Backfield 2: Back 2 Church:

This one requires a bit more historical context.

In 2005, Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes made for a mighty backfield duo. After a few successful weeks, Johnson give them a nickname (http://articles.mcall.com/2005-10-01/news/3645700_1_larry-johnson-bit-priest-holmes):

At least Johnson can give this tandem, which has combined for 385 yards in three games, a cutesy nickname: The Church Backfield. That's because, Johnson told reporters recently, "Priest prays over them, and I bury them."

Nice!!! But wait, what does that have to do with Hunt, Hunt, and West?

Well, as we all know, Kareem Hunt's number is 27 - just like Larry Johnson!

And Akeem Hunt? Check it out:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We have released RB C.J. Spiller.<br> <br>We have promoted RB Akeem Hunt from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. Hunt will wear #31. <a href="https://t.co/x8ycYTc73u">pic.twitter.com/x8ycYTc73u</a></p>&mdash; Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) <a href="https://twitter.com/Chiefs/status/909094080646234112">September 16, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Sound familiar? 31 was Priest Holmes' number!!!

And then also, "Church" starts with "Ch" just like Charcandrick West's first name, "Charcandrick."


So, which nickname should we go with? Poll forthcoming!!!

How many times are they going release CJ Spiller?

I think they were just releasing him and re-signing him until they got the perfect combo for a cool nickname

Both nicknames suck, bitch. Go die in a hole

Lmao exactly what I thought the absolutely least creative thing I've ever seen

[listopencil]

No. Should have gone with Thunderbolt And Lightfoot.

[Hammock Parties]

We should call Kareeem "backstroke" so we can call them "backstroke of the west!!!!"

[patteeu]

I don't like either one and I can't think of a good one myself, so instead I'll suggest another bad one based on obscure Chiefs lore: Charcandrick and the Clarks.

[patteeu]

The Hunts Men

Not bad.

[POND_OF_RED]

I'm pretty sure the church nickname came from the name Priest and not the number 31. If we're reaching that much for a nickname let's call them the dreem team. Cause of the Dr in Charcandrick and the Eem in Kareem. It's perfect!

[penguinz]

How about we call them by their names?

[Pablo]

Big Black Penis Rape has a nice ring to it.

[POND_OF_RED]

What about "the ****s." Cause of the C for Charcandrick and the Unts for the Hunts.

[Hammock Parties]

Charcandrick West is a jag. Just call him KHunt or Kareempie and be done with it.

We could turn their names into Pokémon, but then we'd have to leave Charcandrick's name as it already is

With Kareem and Akeem in the lineup, we should certainly win the rebounding battle.

[jspchief]

The obvious nickname is "The Hunt for Red February"

On second thought, it doesn't have the same ring as October.

I'm thinking something kinda like a band name...

Kareem Hunt and the Useless Meatsticks

[old_geezer]

Don't think they need or necessarily deserve a nickname at this point. With that in mind, how about "The Mexican Bandits"? Nicknames? We don't need no stinking nicknames. :)

Big Black Penis Rape has a nice ring to it.

And this is why I love you/MUCH Mahomo.

Everyone knows that Charcandrick is the super legendary evolution of Charizard, only available on the special platinum diamond edition, with only 5 copies released in Japan...

[Cornstock]

Not following on the church thing... I'm not sure the number 31 has any Biblical significance.

I think someone is remembering things wrong. That was Schottenhiemer that did the ole run, run, pass, punt.

Charcandrick West made one play against Denver two years ago and nobody has heard of him since. We'll see with Hunt.

I agree with GoldenBearChief here.
