Coach Staley: The Kraken Releaser.

"Okay" Oday Aboushi: When your former offensive guards were way below average, an okay, average lineman like Aboushi looks pretty good...

Thanks. A few of them (Palmer and Jaimes in particular) are more subtle than the others, so I was not sure how they would be received.

Maybe you could give us all a clue about these two nicknames...

I’m not accepting a nickname for Jaimes unless it references his ginger status.

Not everyone needs a nic name. Only the truly special or bad players deserve them.

TC has a thing for nic names. Its not a forum wide thing but every now and then we/I wil use one like InvisiMel for his disapearing acts in games.

So, a "Palmer" is a pilgrim, crusader or explorer type. He will now be exploring SoFi regularly.

Regarding Jaimes, his name is pronounced like "high muss", which means to make very untidy. Arguably, no thing on earth does that more so than a tornado.

As I said, they are subtle.

If Palmer had McKitty's hands, the nickname "Big Hands" would have been a cinch. We could still call him "Medium Hands". But Jaimes is a tough one if you are just going off of the player's name as I did.

If a player has certain traits or a nickname already, especially one that can be parodied in the event of poor performance, that might make the task easier in some instances.

I just picked this year's drafted players and created some for the fun of it since that was the task designated by the thread.
