Panthers tackle Michael Oher gets the last laugh on 'The Blind Side'

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Carolina Panthers left tackle Michael Oher laughed when he recalled a play from last season.

The play itself wasn't necessarily funny. It was that right tackle Mike Remmers, while the team was watching a replay on film, shouted "47 Gap!" before the snap to quarterback Cam Newton.

"We were running the exact same play from the movie, where the [back] pulled around and went 50 yards down the field," said Oher, still laughing.

The movie was "The Blind Side," a 2009 film starring Sandra Bullock playing the role of Leigh Anne Tuohy, who adopted a homeless teenager that went on to become a first-round draft pick in the NFL.
