Best safety in football since 2012
That's a nuts take
@@epsteinsnoose5401 Name one better
@@chriscus1474 Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Devin McCourtey, Charles Woodson
@Epstein’s Noose Charles Woodson was a corner and moved to safety his last few years of his career and wasn't as good as Harrison. Earl Thomas was a great player stats still says Harrison is better. Kam Chancellor had what 3 good years, Devin McCourty has a lot of picks but not many pass breakups or tackles. Harrison has been consistently top 3 safties in the league for over a decade. So you've failed to name any better.
@@chriscus1474 Bro what a bad take, he's had no success in the playoffs, less all star apperances, and overall doesn't impact the game like any of the guys I mentioned
Harrison Smith is automatic Ring of Honor, eventual HOF'er imo
he’s gotta be, dude laid out some of the most brutal, painful looking hits out there. And consistently came up with the most clutch ints, man is he fun to watch
HOF safety
Such an underrated player
Miss Rick’s drafts
Not the first round.
Rick was sweet with it. Slick Rick
It's really sad the pure volume of superstars Rick drafted, and the coaches did nothing with them. I am glad they kept the Scouting staff with the new GM and coaching because they know exactly what they are doing.
Rick continually failed at drafting Oline and QBS. That's why he's no longer a GM.
Found the Rick soielman burner. He couldn't draft QBs and trenches aka the most important aspects of football. when he hit on rare occasion (hunter and Griffen), he chalked it up And never tried to acquire depth.
Rick was good at drafting. Missed plenty of times but he got us some real generational talents.
Nahhh....
Vikings are blessed that we got him! Smith is a future Hallafamer! Thank you #22.🏈
harry.....harry....
Spielman was a fantastic GM, Kwesi has BIG shoes to fill.
Fantastic? Are you high? Average at best.
@wizrdsblaze2641I don’t think Spielman would’ve ever traded for TJ
I don’t know why we fired him. He’s literally the reason we had the talent to go 13-4 this year. I hope Kwesi does well but he chose Booth over other corners that would have been better. Booth was injury prone all through out college and what do you know he’s already on IR his first year in the league. I literally knew that was gonna happen. Feel like we whiffed on this years draft but I hope to god Kwesi proves me wrong.
Yeah I liked spielman but I'm happy how things have turned out. You never know who may have been our hc If we still had spielman and we may not have gotten some players that we got this year such as tj, zadaruis smith, Harrison Phillips.
Rick was a bum lmao good riddance. Gave up a first for Bradford and signed Cousins 🚮🗑️
Best Viking. Just bought a signed helmet and love it!
Harrison The Hitman Smith is my favorite viking ever!! #22forever
He's a consummate pro.
The Vikings ignored me in the draft too!
He's long of the tooth now, but in his prime, Harry the hitman was elite.
Slick Rick at his best.
i personally think Rick Spielman never should have been fired. i still think KOC would have been hired if Rick was still GM.
Hitman Harry💯
Say what you want about Spielman but he had some really incredible picks that this team still benefits from a decade later it’s crazy.
Last couple years were pretty bad. Kellen Mond was a massive waste of that year's second pick. He picked Chazz S. very high for a converted defender. I thought Patrick Jones was a weird choice. Needed corners, but the media joked about how Zimm liked drafting corners and that seemed to let that drive Spielman to not draft a CB. Then our corner supply ran out.
And getting Thielen, too.
What was the reason? Don't feel like he answered that.
🙄
He didn't want other teams to know that he was on their radar.
Exactly
Slick Rick
THE HITMAN!!!
I wanted him so bad for the Ravens. We ended up getting Matt Elam instead. So tragic
Goat of his era
can't let em know your next move
I would love to hear Harrison's thoughts on this.
Suprised he didnt trade back to pick up extra 6th & 7th rd picks.
Young harry looks like flash from the amazing spider-man(Garfield)
Never says why?
I VIVIDLY remember Herm Edwards calling Harrison Smith the biggest reach of the first round.
Started as a viking and will retire a legendary viking
This happens all the time.
Spielman didn't improve the offensive line soon enough. Plus the busts he drafted at cb, and Treadwell in the first round. He wasn't a bad gm. Just wasn't the best.
Hopefully this is what theyre doing with nix or penix
And after all that, they still don’t explain why they ignored him at first.
Because they wanted the other teams to think they didn't like him, obviously.
Shame Rick could just never fine a QB and in the end it cost him his job.
He did find a QB in Kirk Cousins. The whole thing with Zimmer is what cost him his job.
I think only Zimmer should have been let go, Spielman was a very shrewd and smart guy, trouble came when he knew Cousins was the right move but ole Zimmer didn't like that and did everything in his power to make both Cousins and Spielman bad
Also they it was rumored spielman was just drafting players out of need to piss zimmer off lol especially mond
Sneaky Rick...
This is the way it used to be so no big deal
He is so overrated I am not sure what he has done? Vikings suck with him. We get burned for a TD where is he? He is not a Ronnie Lott, Joey browner or any great safety. But Vikings have low standards.
Why are people so obsessed with him. What has he ever done?
You serious?
@@donmiddaughiii8965 dead ass. Go look at his performance this year. Not even top 15 in the league. Can't cover ,he's slow and hasn't been able to for quite some time . He can stop a run that's about it . Minnesota fans are obsessed with him for some reason
@@user-bb4xk6bb7n I've watched the tape. Just dont see anything special. Minkah , ET and plenty of other guys are much better. I feel like it's some fantasy about a white defensive back that has him so over hyped.
@@user-bb4xk6bb7n I'm fuckin white lol. I just think he's overrated. Much better safeties out there. He's hyped because of his race just like these black qbs get hyped and called great for throwing for 200 yards.
@@robertramsey9776 Was Troy Polamalu a good safety? Now compare their stats and get back to me. It's clear you haven't looked at any stats and have a clear bias against him. It's ok you don't have to like the guy but you can't deny he's one of the best safeties of his generation.
22 is Savage
