LenDale White called Williams and Stewart ' Identity ' and ' Theft ' , and noted they had made T - Shirts with ' Smash and Dash ' on it . To determine a new nickname , DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart created a website , and allowed fans to suggest names . They eventually decided on ' Double Trouble ' , and have retained that nickname , despite Chris Johnson later renouncing the nickname . Career statistics . " Source : " Music career .
