When you hit an elk head on like I did in June, the truck stops in its tracks and your head moves forward and then backwards in a classic whiplash action, causing the air bags to deploy, which prevented me from sustaining serious injury...
However, I do not expect our opponents to escape uninjured this season when they face our Whiplash Defense...
Of course, the DL is the handle of the metaphorical whip that supports the lash and popper that deliver the whipping action (whiplash) that leads to serious consequences to opponents offenses...the Sun Devil handle consists of Cherry, Smallwood, Boeteng, Dayries, Latu (times two), Wren, Wicker, Smith and Topps (who is a very capable walk-on and who will play some this season)...
While the "lash" or strong part of the strap connected to the handle, that sets the whipping action in motion, consists of Calhoun, Fiso, Longino, Moeakiola, Ball, Sam, Mendoza and IMR...
Finally, the "poppers" or tip of the whip in this ASU scenario consists of Brown, Carrington, Simone, Johnson, Means, Perry, Scott and Adams right now...
When in the hands of a pro like Todd Graham the "whiplash defense" not only dishes out a lot of punishment during the season but creates numerous turnovers as well which leads to many wins and championships...
Some observers may object to the use of this metaphor based on the violence involved but isn't that why we all love football..??
Football isn't about searching the forest for mushrooms to add to our dinner salad is it..??
Championships or Bust...Go Devils!!!
