With episode 16, I wanted to take a look at one of the more “overlooked” elite defenses in the NFL up in Minnesota. The Vikings are absolutely LOADED with talent on every single level of their defense, with perhaps the crown jewel of them all being their incredible young box safety, Harrison Smith. The fifth-year star plays a “do it all” role in Mike Zimmer’s pressure-filled defense, and as a result he’s often seen doing literally everything from enforcing his will down on the line of scrimmage, to covering slot receivers man to man, to even bracketing wideouts deep down field as a center fielder. With my beloved Texans slated to have an absolute brawl with Smith and company early in the season, there’s no better time to get acquainted with this ultra-talented beast that awaits them in week five.
Enjoy!

7:44 "he hunts them down as if he resents their very existence" ....alright, you win. Your breakdown of the vikings defense and zimmer's use of smith made me really appreciate the chess side tactics of this game again. Thank you.
If you want to know why the Vikes pass rush wasn't getting home against
the Packers, do a video on the Packer's OL holding that never gets
called smh
The Packers OL get away with so much holding, it's unreal. In the last 30 something years of watching NFL football, I've never seen a team get away with holding more than them. Although some might say the Patriots are bad, they actually don't hold nearly as much as anyone thinks. They do a decent job of keeping Brady upright, and he just knows how to move around in the pocket just enough to keep extending the play. GB, on the other hand, holds people from the jump, and it's damn pathetic the NFL and refs let them get away with it to glorify Rodgers on a weekly basis. They can't stand the thought of one of their poster children eating grass/turf on a constant basis, so they let them get away with it like no tomorrow.
+Brian Robinson I'm 12 and I've only really understood football fully for 2 years I'm a vikes fan so it pisses me of when my teams OL gets called for holding constantly and sometimes not even actual holds against the packers then the fucking Packers OL gets to hold off the snap and maybe gets called for it every few weeks just damn
HyPer FuZe I would suggest reading a book called "Personal Foul" by Tim Donaghy. It will forever change how you see pro sports... and, not in a good way. One thing he talks about, is how in professional sports, it's basically a "show". If referees call infractions like they're supposed to, it would make some of the bigger named athletes in all major sports just average, or above average.
main sitton holds on every play!!!!...now he off to Chicago to do the same
Jamaal Jones if the refs start calling him for holding, we'll ALL know the truth. That would just signal that it was perfectly fine as long as he was a Packer, but not for any other team.
I love Harrison Smith. He's an animal.
He is garbage, blows coverage and sucks in man to man. Polamalu is 10 times the player Smith is or ever will ve.

Brett you're just an outstanding commentator, way better than any of those 'football analysts' on espn or nfl network. Keep doing what you do, hope your work will get as much recognition as it truly deserves.
Brett is some random talented man. Those guys are former players and coaches it's hard to make up for the lack of experience or perceived credibility.
i love harrison smith, he reminds me of that villain in deadpool
Oh yeah Francis!
Honestly thought that was him at the beginning
This is my new crack.
Kollman you the man
and Minnesota GOTDAMN they have some young talent
Thank you!
haha i had no clue i have been running the vikings defense for the past two years on madden this is awesome. love this video shows the perfect scheming of man and zone coverage mixes match zone very good videos thank you
Awesome work, as always. I'm learning so much about football just from watching your videos. As a european, a few years ago I had no idea this sport even existed and thanks to you I now know more about it than I could ever learn by myself in that time.
Also I've grown to be a massive Vikings fan, so this video was pretty enjoyable for me in multiple ways ;)
Hey Brett just watched all of your videos from the last NFL season they are all fantastic, especially your video on Brock Osweilers potential. your videos are far better than anyone else on the web, pls post more next season
Thank you! I've got episode 17 coming out later this morning on Amari Cooper vs Marcus Peters if that interests you!
nice im gonna watch it now
This was probably thee best breakdown I've ever seen on Zimmer's defense. I'm saving this guy as a channel.
This channel is much better than watching NFL Network or ESPN. It isn't even close. Those channels make great background noise, but if you're really into football, they are going to tell you the same thing over and over again about every player. This channel is a gem for people that actually want to pay attention to football. Keep it up. You pushed Derrick Henry about 5 slots up my draft board already.
Great Job! Zimmer's scheme is basically a hybrid defense, but arduous enough, it's not the Patriot's hybrid D (Matt Patricia's) or Dan Quinn's Hybrid. His is quite special...
Kinda like a 46D, but in hybrid styles...
This take aged pretty damn well 😅 here after his 3 sack game with the game sealer and I feel like that game confirmed him as a HOFer in my eyes
dude, totally inspired by your work and your drive to do this. You're pursuing your passion and your're kicking ass at it. You you easily work in the industry in some fashion.
You should do Luke Kuechly
Harrison is the most underrated player in the NFL. Been the best safety for the last 6-8 years. Great video.
You really know your football, keep it up man very entertaining and informative.
Do the entire Vikings defense
As a Vikings fan I really enjoyed this video. Very intriguing and makes me love football on a whole new level. Big fan of what you do. Keep the videos coming.
This defense is so good, it should be illegal. lol
Jefff respect bro vikes fan since ‘94 glad people are finally recognizing our D
Except when it's in the post season.. skol
Jefff wait to u see the bears defense
Love your individual player breakdowns but I think I might have enjoyed the first ~8 mins of this breaking down the interesting alignments/tendencies of the MIN defense even more. More scheme/team stuff! Great job.
Thank you! Understanding their scheme was the hard part in this one lol
Love the vid. People in MN love Harry he’s a true Vike!
First time viewer. Let me tell u football fans really appreciate the analytics and observations. Subscribed
Dude I know this is an old video but Ive been binging on your shit for a few days now and I love it. Keep pumpin these vids out man. Just to make some suggestions tho on who u should cover next why not do Le'Veon Bell or David Johnson perhaps.Again, keep grindin' man, you're awesome.
dude you sound high af at .5 speed and its fantastic
BAHAHAHAHA that's amazing
This entire video pretty much explains why Harrison Smith and Earl Thomas would be an unstoppable duo. Those 2 are literally the reincarnations of Troy and Ed
harrison and ear are both better then troy but none of them are ed reed
fire78816 lol dumbass
@@fire78816 Cap
@@fire78816 Wait, Why am i responding to a comment from 5 years ago?, lol.
Wow Dude, U sound better that any coach I've listened to. Mr. Kollmann, my complete my complete respect towards you. You sound very intelligent, & your analysis is right on. I hope you're into coaching. It's your calling Sir.
This is an incredible breakdown; as good as anything I've ever seen from PFF or FO. Keep up the great work, dude.
It'd be pretty amazing if you could make a video about defensive coverages, man! Your knowledge about football is through the roof!
sean taylor, ed reed, troy polamalu. best safeties of the last 20yrs imo.
Will Thacker nick collins was on his way before the neck injury
Landon Collins making a name for himself though.
Unbelievable analysis. You're a pro at this!
I learn so much every time you upload. Awesome stuff.
Great review! Would like to see one on Earl Thomas, Eric Berry, and corners. Also more d-lineman and OLBs. I know these must take a lot of time.
He's a prototype "down" (or box) Safety in a Cover-3 scheme. Obviously the Vikings play a ton of single-high. In this video they're seen playing Cover-3 Match (vs 2x2 formations) and Cover-1 (man free). He does a good job of "carrying" the #2 WR vertical in Cover-3 and against 21 Personnel he's an absolute terror in the box. He makes quick reads and heads downhill RIGHT NOW! As a Cover-3 defensive coordinator this gives me wood. Only way to "expose" a guy like this is to attack him when they're playing 2-high. Most Safeties like him lack the fluidity and range to excel in 2-high. Love your channel by the way!
Dude you just got a sub I've been doing fantasy football only 2 years and now that I've found you I might place higher than 5th in my league this year thanks bro :D
Ironically enough I am a horrible fantasy player lol. I tend to overthink my moves way too much
Love the way u describe the Vikes D and Smith is a beast.
This guy knows his stuff keep it up man
I prefer 'Harry Hitman'
One thing to notice about Harrison Smith is that he wraps up. He doesn't just put his shoulders down, he makes amazing open field tackles on some guys that are much faster than he is because he makes contact with the them and he wraps up.
Collin Patton he's the best form tackler in the league... Can't say that about Sandejo he fucking whiffs
13:30 That hard pump as he get's surprised by the coverage picking up his guy coming loose...
...that made Stafford fumble. Guy pumped so hard he fumbled the ball.
I learn so much watching these vidoes🤓
Field and boundary is pretty much the only way defences adjust up north in Canada
Ryan Shazier reminds me of Troy as well. Although not a safety position but he is all over the field and has a wild playing style. As long as Shazier stays healthy he is going to be fun to watch. #steelernation
Awesome channel! Especially defensive videos. Love from Brazil!
Great breakdown and content on your channel man. Coming from a former multi-positional player you have a great knowledge of the game and I love to see it. If you created this kind of content on a more consistent basis I could see you really blowing up on youtube and have it become something you could really monetize. Keep up the good work hope to see videos more regularly!
PS I think a really good video would be a breakdown of the Patriots offense and their intricate option route/timing passing offense.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
He’s not a Palamalu though but I like everything else you said! I’m a Steelers fan since 1972! I give Jamal Adams a year or two to be up there after he develops even more!
most excellent breakdown. props.
my favorite saftey right now
Great video! Smith is a ball hawk This defense should be at their peak the next three years. SKOL!
They are aligning to the pass strength, they may have adjustments when the pass strength is into the boundary but that's why you see that. Typically offences won't put the majority of their immediate receivers into the boundary because it's a clustereff. When you break down your concept of boundary vs open field the pass strength is to the open side... you have the 1, 2 and 3rd immediate receiver as the back to the defensive right.
The run strength is used to align the defensive front, not the back end
compare Landon Collins vs Harrison Smith... great video
Beanie Spencer that'd be great! Love Smith but what a good breakdown that'd be!
Need more videos your analysis is stellar.
Good video bro! Glad I found your channel. Im a football junkie so this kind of stuff keeps me entertained.
The GOAT scouting channel!
dude, if I I had the money, I would donate 100,000 or 1,000,000 dollars cause your break down of film is fantastic, I could use you if you were to watch ,you film, cause I love to learn technique, and to learn what can make me an unbelievable player
David Crewson check out jason the great. he does a video called "gabe jackson the nasty linemen". its pretty badass lol.
This Defense and Jaguars is gonna be legendary 💯
Why the hell are you not a scout for an NFL team lmao
The way the Vikes deploy Harrison as the force man against the run to spill things back inside to pursuit... makes you think the Brownies will develop a similar (primary) role for Peppers while they continue to look for a center fielder.
Love your videos! May I suggest that you review the impact Suh had (or didn't have) on the Dolphins-D? Or maybe break down Chip Kellys offense and compare it to more complexe systems like the one in Indianapolis, Green Bay or Denver? Either way, I don't want to get in your future upload plans, and keep up the amazing work! Greetings from a big fan in Austria
Just subscribed! All of your videos are incredibly in depth and informative. Great videos!
todd vesterse check out jason the great. he does a video called "gabe jackson the nasty linemen". its pretty badass lol. he is like brett, he has a unique perspectiive imo
Brett, could you take a look at Bradford for a video? I would love to get your perspective on him as a QB.
Coolest most dangerous white boy in the NFL. Love his look and his swagger. He’s underrated in my opinion
this was awsome I came from the Norse code podcast
How the Vikings align their boundary and field safety in regards to where the ball is placed in relation to the hash marks is identical to how Brent Venables aligns his safeties. Same goes for the LB's, DT's and DE's.
Venables FS designation always aligns to the boundary and the SS aligns to the field. The WLB aligns to the boundary and the MLB and NLB align to the field. Where Venables differs is his CB alignment. He almost always aligns his CB like he does his safeties, one always to the boundary and one always to the field. He then fills these positions based on how he utilizes them within the scheme and play call. Usually the BCB is pressed on the opposing WR and the FCB playing off regardless of whether zone or man 2 man. He uses his safeties and DE as force players to force ball carriers back inside. The NLB and the WLB are overhang defenders. The base defense is pattern match C4 which if there are 4 WR in the pattern turns into a pseudo man to man look across the field with the NLB and ILB's looking for work while still defending their assigned zone.
His WDE and SDE always line up on the same sides. WDE over the LT and SDE over the RT. The 1T and 3T align firstly based on where the TE is and the 3T almost always aligns to the side of the TE(4-2-5 over front) the H back (if no TE) or FB (if no TE and FB is not inline to the RB). If 2x2 in 10 personnel the 3T aligns to RB strength.
excellent work as always
wonderful analysis man
Can't wait for the new video!
Harry is something else, him laying some tight end out on one play once wasn't fair, ha ha. The guy can bring it and intercept a lot pf passes!. SKOL HARRY the HITMAN! Great info on the VIKES, thanks Brett, good stuff
thanks for the Vikings gameplay
Brett these tapes have been amazing so far, big fan. I personally would really like to understand how to break down plays, defense in particular, what would be the best resources to help me further understand the game.
I think smartfootball.com is a great place to start for most fans that want to develop a better understanding of the game. They do great work over there.
It would be a super long vid, but it would be amazing to watch you breakdown who was the best wr and why.
Great video tho! Keep it up
Luv these videos man keep up the great work
at 11:30, is this not the same play that the Rams ran on Thursday night with Kupp in the Cobb spot? Notice how Cobb breaks open at the same time Kupp did and from what I remember, Kupp doesn't bother feinting the outside, he just cuts inside to minimize time till he can get where he needs to be.
I just rewatched the Rams play again, not the same, but seems like McVay took the play and redesigned it with the intention of getting Kupp into position quickly by having him line up inside and just start his slant right away.
great analysis brett. as a bears fan...i gotta say, the vikes are concerning me even more than GB
They should. Minnesota gonna be next level if they stay heathy.
And hopefully you learned what a boundary corner is 👏
+Jimbo Fisher i know what a boundary corner is. i just jaylon smith n jaylon ramsey confused.
they shouldn't. they have a defense but teddy toiletwater has to actually be a good qb to get far. relying on AP wont get them far
It got them to the playoffs last year. The kicker blew their chance of ADVANCING in the playoffs. And, that was against a very good Seattle team.
Frank, also a Bears fan here. With what John Fox, and Vic Fangio is building, I'm becoming less and less worried about GB. Actually I realistically expect the Bears to at least split, or sweep GB going forward, as long as those two coaches are around. They both have a good history of coaching winning teams/defenses, and have a gist of what it takes to consistently nullify Aaron Rodgers. By the way, Vic Fangio's record verses Rodgers is 5-1. His only loss came in week 1 of 2015, when rookie Jeremy Langford dropped a critical 3rd down pass that would have kept the Bears ahead, and ALL of the Bears starting WRs being injured and not playing.
Your awesome keep gives us great work
Great stuff as always
I am sure he is a hard hitter but not sure how he compares to the safeties back in the day. When I was growing up, the hitters back then were Ronnie Lott, Kenny Easley, Steve Atwater, Dennis Smith, Todd Bell, Jack Tatum, Doug Plank, etc. They were scary.
Please please please if possible break down the Bucs new D this year with Mike smith as defense coach for the preseason games if possible.. Or if you can go back to the Jaguars in 2006 when Mike smith was Defensive coordinator and break them down so I know what to look forward to! Please
Great Job Brett ! Vikings should hire you ! Great stuff
Dude, your work is phenomenal! In the future, could you do a breakdown of good NT play, or 3 Tech?
I love me some Aaron Donald. I'll be getting to him eventually
Brett Kollmann Good stuff man. You do some awesome work. Your breakdoens explain not only the position, but how it affects the scheme being run, and how it affects the opponent.
Salute excellent video, I absolutely learn to much from this great work you've gain a fan cuzz.🔱🔱🔱
Wow, the best time frame in this video was Harrison destroying kaepernick at 18:18
0:45 Look I love the Viking's defense, but no way they are more well rounded than the bronco's. I love the video btw. So insightful, i wish i had all the film to look at.
They're more versatile than the Broncos. Wade Phillips' defensive scheme is much simpler than Mike Zimmer's defensive scheme. Wade takes a lot of thinking out of the equation & makes it easier for guys to be more decisive & instinctive. Zimmer on the other hand requires a lot of mental work from every player to know a hell of a lot more. They can play in any coverage because that's what Zimmer teaches them. Wade on the other hand primarily uses Cover 1 Man & is usually blitzing 5 guys on every down.
Do a video on Steeler's (lethal) offensive looks and Brown, Bell and Williams!
MORRRE, these is dope af
Bro Harrison Smith is so underrated!!!
Hey Brett just wanted to say your videos are awesome. Very informative. How do you learn so much about football? You must have studied it at some point. I'm very intrigued with learning the game better. Keep it up! Also, I would love to see some more Vikings players such as Anthony Barr or Everson Griffin.
Love love love these videos
Dude ever since I saw a highlight of I said he's a ball hawk but at the very physical as well and yes you can say he's Troy I'm a ravens fan but always respected the hair anyways great breakdown saw this video earlier but just didn't comment my fault but can't wait for next linebacker video
do tyrann mathieu
Your videos are just perfect
love this man! do more vikings defense!!
Amazing video bro!
Dear Brett, please quit your day job and do this more often. Love everything you put out, it's truly top notch.
Believe me I would love to work from home. That's the goal lol
I was happy to see him reck Kaepernick
Amazing stuff man! Can you please explain the difference between a Sam and Will linebacker? I've never understood the designations.
Sam LB is the strong side linebacker. Will is the weakside linebacker. Think "S' for Strong and "W" for weak. The strong side generally refers to whatever side of the offensive formation that the TE lines up on. The Will linebacker would be on the weakside (opposite side of the TE) and the Sam would be across from, or at least on the same side as the opposing TE.
I'd love to see a Luke Kuechly video from you! Keep up the great work man!
Still a DAWG too!
love your content. would love to see you break down a jaguar. pick whoever you want!
Ok you said approaching Troy!! Ok my bag
