HB Bernard Pierce: Bernard


G/C Gino Gradkowski: Gino

S Christian Thompson: CT

CB Asa Jackson: Nicknamed "Ace"

WR: Tommy Streeter: "Street" " or simply refer to him by his #

I lack creativity but this is how i'll most likely refer to them while watching games.

That would probably work if not for our archnemesis, Rothliesberger.

But he's Rotten Burger. There's a difference. Gino's are tasty and delicious. He's more like a stale McDonald's.

If we draft TJ McDonald next year, we'll have two burger restaurants on the team. Gino and McDonald's.

And then if we keep The Kitchen, well, I think that's all that need to be said.

I now know why you're named Coconut: you know and think about food a lot!

Of course - Hawkeye is my favorite television character.

BuzzShaw. "A buzzShaw tears through the tackle and cuts Big Ben in half." That's all I got.

[Suggs Package]

Gino Gradkowski = Gino, Burger, Cheesesteak (Geno's), Papa Gino (Papa Gino's own DeAngelo sandwiches), Pizza
DeAngelo Tyson = DT, Sandwich, Sub

Sorry for all the food references, I use to make frequent trips to Connecticut, so I know the chains up there. Things like this happen when you draft two players with Italian names.
