[BloodRaven]

DE/OLB Courtney Upshaw: Piledriver, Dexter, Eufaula Maula (from the rolltide forum)

RT/G Kelechi Osemele: KO (already established)

HB Bernard Pierce: None. Slash?

G/C Gino Gradkowski: None.

S Christian Thompson: Nicknamed "CT Scan" by teammates.

CB Asa Jackson: Nicknamed "Ace"

WR: Tommy Streeter: Nicknamed "Street" "Touchdown Tommy" "TJ" "Stretch"

DL: DeAngelo Tyson: None

[Gordo52]

Whenever Upshaw gets a sack, " I.C.U. "
You know, like intensive care unit. Its also his initials and it sounds like " I see you" lol

I love K.O.already. Plus it sounds like "J.O."

St Benard: Biggest dog.

[Ed_Reed20]

I like "Stretch" for Streeter for now. Let him earn "Touchdown Tommy" in the pros.

[BMORElegacy]

Asa should be named Ajax.

Gotta love the greek mythology reference.

[/quote]he was called in it school, even herd announcers say it, but if we begin using him in the RZ on fades and he gets a few i think it will come back.. Its a great nickname if he does it

[hawkprey]

Courtney Upshaw: "The Shawshank" (Later shortened to "The Shaw")
Kelechi Osemele: "Oatmeal"
Bernard Pierce: "The Oil Spill" (from his initials, also would apply to Bernard Pollard)
Gino Gradkowski: "The Godfather"
Tommy "One Way" Streeter

I'm a Hurricane fan. I've known about that nickname from when he was a senior at Northwestern.

Cam definitely isn't averse to calling end-zone fades. While I'd love to see Streeter used that way, carving out even a situational red zone role is going to be tough.

With his limited production, there's not a ton to analyze. Truth be told, the video of his performance against Virginia on YouTube is a microcosm of his game at this point. He's not sudden off the line or making cuts, but his long legs and stride help him eat up cushion. His bursts of acceleration once he's gotten into full stride are impressive at times and he can get behind DBs. His hands are inconsistent and he doesn't extend his hands and harms to make the catch at times when he should.

I don't know why it took him so long to pick up the offense when WRs he was recruited with and came after him saw the field either.

[Blacknpurpletilldeath]

Just the first two letters of Courtney Upshaws first name, that way you can say "T-sizzle and CO just broke roethlisberger in half"

[Purple_ICE 81]

Tommy "[i]Street Sweeper" [/i]Streeter.

[ClintLB8]

Bernard Pierce - BP because he has a ton of gas left in the tank.
Courtney Upshaw - Heleads Eufaula = He leads you follow

[BloodRaven]

How about Tommy "Heat", as in Heat Streeter.
