Developing Linemen: A Collaboreth Effort

[Reginald Rutledge]

the Hulk!

Jim Davis and I were the mad scientist and Kevin "Boody" Boddie was the tester. I have millions of unused base shells that I would never put out on the market but knew, someday my "Fred Sanford" junk mentality would come in handy. I had created one prior to Jim coming to Texas and I frankensteined his prongs onto a shell.

I had no one of comparing, although we do some things with corners using this method. See Ravenmaniac. Anyhow, Bruce Banner, I mean JEasy used one of his strongest men up against this all-white figure. On metal, the player was quick off the ball and jumped JEasy's player under the chin. It was so funny because Jim and I began to test this. I will not lie here. The prongs that I had was from a Jim Davis base from months ago. But having been creative in frankensteing bases for many years to make great athletes, I took the best of Jim and the best of what I do and created the athletic linemen we have.

As we ran test, JEasy got hyped up and started turning GREEN! JEasy stayed at the lab for about 3 hours with him making prongs and I making the base and the figures. By nights end, we had came up with a massive offensive line under 4.0 ready to make some serious noise. The Hulk had gotten so hyped up that we had to use a tranquilizer to calm his nerves and turn him back to Jim Davis.

But yeah, it was a lot of fun collaborating.
