At this point, Sandra Bullock’s character, Leigh Anne Tuohy, starts making her way out of the bleachers towards the practice field in her high heels and asks her son, S.J., to watch her stuff. As she is making her way, the coach stands with an assistant waiting for them to run the next play and says, “Well, at least he will look good coming off the bus. They’ll be terrified until they realize he’s a marshmallow. Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.”

Right about this time Leigh Anne comes walking by the head coach and pats the coach on his rear and says, “Gimme a minute, Bert,” as she is about to interrupt practice. The coach is like, “We’re in the middle of practice, Leigh Anne!” And she replies, “Thank me later.” She walks over to Michael, grabs him by a little sliver of his jersey, and pulls him over to the side. The exchange goes like this: “Michael, do you remember when we went to that horrible part of town to buy you those dreadful clothes? And I was a little bit scared and you told me not to worry about it because you had my back? If anyone tried to get to me you would have stopped them, right?” Michael replies, “Yes, ma’am.” She continues, “And when you and S.J. were in that car wreck, what did you do to the airbag?” “Stopped it,” Michael replies. “You stopped it,” she reinforces. “This team is your family, Michael, and you have to protect them from those guys.” She points at the defense. Leigh Anne then pulls the quarterback and running back over and gives Michael the image that the players are his family like she and S.J. are and asks him to protect them like he would their family. She finishes with “Are you going to protect the family, Michael?” and he responds with a smile through his helmet, “Yes, ma’am.”
