What happens when your offensive linemen have way too much time on their hands?
They come up with silly monikers for themselves.
That's why Bossier-Sheveport Battle Wings linemen Greg Hodges and Nick Codutti, were proud to call themselves "600 pounds of man-love," following Saturday's season-defining win over the unbeaten Tulsa Talons.
"We do have a lot of free time," admitted Hodges with a chuckle. "We need to add (Chris) Hollie and make it a thousand pounds of man love."
That trio actually weighs a combined 980 pounds and they're one of the main reasons that quarterback Gary Cooper had enough time to complete four touchdown passes against perhaps the AF2's best defensive line in Tulsa.
"I'm fortunate that I have what I believe is the best offensive line in the AF2," Cooper said. "They stepped up their game big time against Tulsa and that's one of the main reasons we won."
