Blind Side
The dude who got blocked a full 40 yards needs to retire from football forever
There's a scene in the movie "The Blind Side" where the actor playing Michael Oher drives a defender off the field, over the fence and into the stands, then says it was "time for him to go home." It was a highly-unrealistic, Hollywood-ized type scene, a play that would never actually happen in a real football game.
Turns out, it does actually happen in real football games. Last time we saw something similar to that scene from "The Blind Side" was 2019, when a Michigan lineman drove a Notre Dame defender to the sideline and then through the crust of the earth:
Incredibly, something very similar happened again last weekend in the FCS, though the clip of the play is just going viral late this week. It occurred in a blowout victory for Southeastern Louisiana over Northwestern State, and it was far more impressive than the Michigan lineman's block. This was a 40-yard pancake, one that should send the blockee/victim into permanent retirement:
Finish of the year and also possibly the century. And to anyone shouting "flag!" for holding, it was clearly a hands to the face by the defender. Congrats to him on getting doubly embarrassed. You can't get blocked 40 yards downfield AND get a penalty for it, but that guy managed to pull off the impossible.
By the way, how good were his two fellow linemen hyping him the hell up down the field?
Hogmollies helping hogmollies. You absolutely love to see it.
