While this book bills itself as an analysis of the evolution of the game of football, it is actually a fascinating story of life and redemption in the ghettos of Memphis. The author spends some time talking about how the left tackle has transformed from a nameless interchangable position player to the second-most important person on the field - behind the quarterback, whose 'blind side' they are to protect. But the bulk of the book focuses on the life of Michael Oher, and his unforgettable life story. Oher was seemingly born to play left tackle, and because of his astonishing physical gifts - speed and massive size - he was lifted out of the ghettos of Memphis and near-homelessness, into white suburbia, private schools, and a full ride scholarship. Would this have happened had the position of left tackle remained unimportant? And what of the thousands of other disadvantaged kids who don't have Oher's abilities - are they any less deserving of a ticket out? Highly recommended.
