THE BLIND SIDE

There is a scene in the movie The Blind Side where the characters are at what is portrayed to be one of the first football practices for Michael Oher.ssss1 If you recall the movie, they have been trying to get him to play football because he is just a huge dude. So, in this scene he is playing offensive left tackle in practice, and he’s just getting beat. He’s the biggest guy out there but just looks soft. The head coach yells out to him, “Oher! You got a hundred pounds on Collis, and you can’t keep him out of our backfield?!” The camera pans over to S.J., the little brother in the movie, sitting on the bleachers filming as Sandra Bullock’s character walks up to the top of the bleachers to sit with her son and asks, “What’s with the camera?” S.J. replies, “Michael does better when he can see what he’s supposed to be doing.” They run another play, and Michael horse-collars a defender as he goes by and throws him to the ground. The coach, a little frustrated, blows the whistle and, as he comes down from the platform he’s observing from, calls Michael out. “Oher, come here, son.” The coach meets Michael and grabs him by his shoulder pads. He gets real close to show him the technique needed to block and not get a penalty called on him and, as the coach explains, to keep Coach from getting mad at an unnecessary penalty. He finishes and sends him back to the huddle.
