Heading into the season, it wasn’t clear how the Broncos were planning to use running backs Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter.

That picture has come into focus. While Buckhalter has gotten the start three straight games, Moreno has gotten the bulk of the carries (46 to 31). Both have played very well, with Buckhalter breaking open some huge runs and both scoring one touchdown. What’s more, this tag-team method has led the Broncos to the NFL’s fourth-ranked rushing attack, averaging over 150 yards per game.

So, naturally, it needs a nickname. We hear “Smash and Dash” is taken, but something along those lines is certainly appealing. We could get clever and use the real-name-hybrid technique: Corrshon Buckeno, Knowshell Morhalter, KnowBuck, etc. etc.

So we ask you, BT Reader, for your clever Buckhalter-Moreno nickname suggestions. Leave them in the comments, “Like” the ones you like, and be sure to vote for both (players) at NFL.com for their respective weekly award nominations!
