In before people rip my head off for not naming New England or Chicago here. I never said Minnesota is the *best* defense, just the smartest. Other teams have a talent edge over them, but Mike Zimmer's boys still pull off some blitzes and coverages that would make any OC's head spin. That's the value of having that whole unit play together for so damn long.
Brett Kollmann as a Vikings fan, I will go ahead and take this video as proof that our defense is the best OF ALL TIME
We still want a patriots video on there defense and why the offense is struggling.
I just wish my falcons could get there shit together and understand football
Brett Kollmann thanks for the Vikings defense
Mike Zimmer is part of Bill Parcell's coach staff.
I still cant believe that some Vikings fans want Zimmer fired. Hes the one who’s keeping us together
Homedogg123 Although he’s a defensive mastermind he’s also very stubborn and a big reason we choke so much. He’s like a defensive minded Andy Reid.
All fanbases have some idiots. Zimmer has been a blessing upon the Vikings. I'm glad we have him.
Homedogg123 I hope they’re stupid enough to fire him so we can get dan Quinn tf outta town and hire zimmer
I don't want him fired (that would be dumb), but i want him to let the offensive minds (Kubiak and Stefanski) run the offense. His philosophy has always been run the ball and play good defense. That is not how you run a team anymore if you want to be a SB contender. The game so heavily favors passing teams now with PI and QB hit rules, that it's dumb to not use them to your advantage. Also, when you have the receiving core that he does, it makes no sense to be a predominantly run first team even with Dalvin Cook (who is amazing). Have a balanced attack like they have the last two weeks and to me, they are among the most dangerous teams in the NFL. Zimmer's defense has NEVER been the problem, it's been his stubbornness about who runs the offense.
they forgot what it was like post Randy moss up til Zimmer
The Vikings D is an anomaly in the level of continuity it has - they’ve had the same 10 starters since 2015. So with that level of familiarity with the system and other player habits, it’s no surprise that they constantly rank near the top of the NFL in defense.
Which coincidentally they have been... Since 2015.
PLF Especially in the free agent era, it’s all the more impressive.
The true beauty of the Vikings D is that, with the exception of Linval Joseph, all the other starters are homegrown talent.
Erik Lerström This is where the rubber meets the road: Their salary cap is extremely cap of the Cousins’ contract and the contracts they gave to Thielen and Diggs. So next off-season, some defenders will eligible to be cut (Everson Griffen) or possibly traded (Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes).
In short, their time to win with their current roster is now.
Gatien Laurol The cap number should go up next season. I think they will keep Trae Waynes.
Too bad their offense is terrible
Dope that you show the Vikes love. They don’t get a lot of it in the mainstream
There are Vikings fans all over the world that ARE the mainstream. US "bank" on it. They're a top 3 franchise in many respects in the NFL....over many years, worldwide.
@@kargs5krun Top 3 in losing, sure.
I traded in my purple stripes in when I was 10 years old, after learning of their history which essentially put them ahead of the Cubs 50 years early.
It'd be fun to root for a franchise that wins while you're alive, unless you're a masochist. Thankfully my decision paid off handsomely and I haven't looked back since.
The epitaph this season was the Packers rematch. Essentially, like usual, the Vikings O line was pilfered and pilloried. The Packers D line looked like nfl all time 100 lineup, just absolutely doing whatever they wanted whenever to anyone on the Vikings O.
This team is now just a corpse heading into tomorrow against the Saints.
J D lmao, weak ass shit
@@JD-mz1rl > This team is now just a corpse heading into tomorrow against the Saints.
You were saying?
@@bigmiraclewhips corpses can carry deadly diseases, but they ultimately end up in the ground
The Vikings defense is such a beautifully ran system that Brett had to make another video about it. I love how they contain the edge and constantly adjust their defense. As a Raiders fan I hope Paul Guenther can replicate it in Oakland.
@United Counties Of Rity I'm not going to argue about what defense is the smartest, but I will say that I like watching well coached defenses opposed to poorly coached defenses such as the Falcons.
AwesomeBeast yeah I think the Vikings are the smartest honestly they are just there on every play I love even tho I’m not a fan
@@armxoni6834 I like watching the Vikings, Patriots, Ravens, Texans, Bears, Bills and Chargers defenses. They are smart in their own ways but the Vikings set the edge like nobody else.
@ awesomebeast. Im with you on everything you said. Good breakdown Brett Kollman
United Counties Of Rity not really but okay
Literally defense porn. No one calls a game like Zimmer. This unit will get better as the season goes on as well. If they get hot for the playoffs no one wants to face them.
Smh yall stole him from cincy. This suppose to be our head coach
If they make playoffs Bears sand GB will sweep them we don’t even know if MIN can hang with DET yet
0-3 vs Nagy, they may need to get a lot smarter
Are you a Vikings fan?
skiperias 49ers vs Vikings NFC championship
shout out to harrison smith
Dominic Paraan Harry the hitman
I'm sure Harrison appreciates your shout out 😂
Dominic Paraan and Anthony Harris dude has been balling!
9:42 that's one of those Madden sacks
That’s a Superman sack
Brett is using “smart” in a different way than some of you are. The individual players on this team know the scheme so well that they’re able to freelance and their teammates know exactly what they have to do in order to remain sound. They’re able to communicate and make adjustments pre-snap that no one else is able to.
Obviously New England’s defense is well-coached, but they don’t have 10 starters that have been playing together for 5 years. That’s what makes the Vikings defense so “smart.”
At a macro level, the Patriots are just as well schemed or better, but the Vikings players almost always get the small details right. Something that only comes with experience and chemistry with your teammates.
Samuel Mussmann even their opponent adjusted DVOA is off the charts. They’re a very good defense
@@SnackMuay Not a great way to decide the best defense. Just rates them on how effective they are on certain plays, downs, quarters, etc. If New England shut down 2 of 2 flea flickers on 3rd down against the Darnold-less Jets and the Redskins, for example, they'd have a great rating for it. This wouldn't necessarily translate well to a good team, such as the Ravens. Just means they dominate in almost all aspects against the teams they've played against, almost no weak spots (but still only versus the weak teams they've played)
Jake Busalacchi but even against other defenses, offenses like the dolphins and jets have done better than they did against NE. A good defense might be expected to hold Pittsburgh to 10. A great defense (like NE) would hold them to 3
@@SnackMuay Yes, but the difference between them and other top 5/10 teams is negligible. No other top 5/10 defense has gone against the amount of easy opponents they have, and thusly they have a ridiculous ppg allowed mark which makes them seem far better than any other defense (this is not necessarily true).
@@47jakobi The reason why the Pats defense is so good is because they can go above and beyond when it counts. Like the Playoffs.
9:40, that might be the most spectacular sack i've ever seen
he looked liked a fuckin animal pouncing on him like that 😂
Dead 💀
@@matthewcrane5294 He fuckin launched himself
Vikings fan will claim Hunter is DPOY yet no DPOY candidate would ever be left single blocked by a tight end
@@supirion1 I'm not a vikings fan so i don't care what they might think, i was just appreciating the fact that the mf went airbourne to get a sack, no fucks given
They might have the best linebackers. Barr and Kendricks both playing elite ball.
They’re asked to do too much in coverage. They get burned in pass coverage.
LB 3 is Ben Gedeon and I never see him make a play. Or maybe they just use a 2 LB set 99% of the time idk
When Brett Kollmann posts a video about the Vikings, I think to myself "yes.”
When I have to make a video about Dan Quinn I think to myself “no”.
I hope Deshaun Watson responds to your tweet and you get to do that film room episode with him. Please keep us updated!
I’m a Falcon fan and it’s beautiful to watch after that embarrassment of the Falcons defense I’ve been watching all season
falconfan1990 same brother same I get so fed up with Dan Quinn baby ass scheme
Eric Kendricks is the most underrated player in the entire NFL.
Kendricks is having an All Pro season. He is like a Tasmanian devil on the field.
@@BlackjackCZ fr
Baktiari holds on every play.
He grabs underneath the shoulder pads. Hardly ever if ever called for holding. Then Trey flowers holds his pads on pass rushes and gets called both times. Refs at lambeau are told to keep the Packers in games at all times. As if the Lions and Vikings need help losing games at lambeau
9:41 Danielle Hunter suddenly turns into wolverine 💀
Well… and Hunter, Joseph and Griffen being absolut monsters on their own helps too I guess
hightower, collins, van noy can all cover
Not a Vikings fan but I can agree this defense is great and love the tape you show I wish you had a ESPN show where you got to do this I love what you teach me from TAPE not stats it brings perspective to the game
@Erik Lerström who tf is SAS
Donnavan Bruce Stephen A Smith
@@one_of_wun oh the clown looking guy who rarely speaks facts cause he tries to act like he knows anything about every sport
Donnavan Bruce I guess u could say that 😂
@@RGCDTB if he picks your team to win, they about to lose lol
Feel like their motto is something like ‚The lone wolf dies but the pack survives‘ because none of them is playing egoistical but really team-friendly and coordinated
Imagine this defense had they drafted Myles Jack in 2016 when he fell to them instead of Treadwell..
Eric Kendricks>Myles Jack. Jack’s a great player and all, but, to be honest, I’m not sure how many snaps he’d even get.
Mr. Gentlezombie if zimmer let’s 7th rounders play, im sure he would let jack play😂. We’re short on linebackers. I hate Gideon starting🤦🏾♂️
Imagine if they drafted Michael Thomas instead
Kurt Wagner wouldn’t have been good. He would’ve became a star and would want the ball more. It’s hard to make 2 receivers great let alone 3. Let him be the star for the saints.
North StarState true he wouldn’t have been a star without all the targets but he would still be getting open constantly and people would probably still recognize his talent
There's a reason why A. Barr gave a lot of loot to come back with the Vikings..this video is a prime example of why he did stay with the purple. Its knowing ur gonna be successful and always have a chance to win with a Zimmer defense..there's a reason they all wanted to stay and play in Minny. Skol vikes
That and Kendricks is his best friend. They've played together since college.
I freakin love your channel. As a Vikings fan I love it more when you make vids like this but every video you make is fascinating damn
Why you didn’t title it “Purple Brain” is beyond me. Cmon, Brett. You’re better than this
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
HAHaha I get it. Nice one. 👏🏼
@@BrettKollmann I'll do it one better; contemplate some soundtrack/tunes action to yer vids just to jazz things up from time to time. e.g. --> ruclips.net/video/qXtX76hoEZw/видео.html per Wyatt's j/k suggestion.
Sharp_3yE is this a reference if so what
This is perfect 😂😂
I miss this vintage Zimmer. Our team was so cool around this time. Hopefully O'Connell can make us feel this good again.
Vikings roster is talented af. Just depends if Kirk cousins can give us that final push needed to win a super bowl. Great video Brett 👍🏾
Yep Kirk Cousins is the key piece for their offense to match up with their defense.
Clicked within five seconds of this video coming out
Minnesota Vikings defense has been legit for years ever since Mike Zimmer became the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
This is why I watch you Brett! I could learn football from you forever. Seeing how Zimmer coaches the small things such as properly layering the pass rush is absolutely phenomenal.
Watching this and then your newest video on the Vikings defense is such a whiplash
While the Bears defense is built on talent and physicality,the Vikings are built on chemistry,skill,and scheme as Brett mentioned.
It's like that Melee saying:
"A skilled Roy can beat any Fox"
Well laid out. Really enjoyed that. Thank you.
Great defense indeed. I just wish Rhodes would play at an all pro level like he used to
So cool you did a video on my Vikes
SKOL!!!
So I’m super new to football and this right here is amazing to see, in any other sport I’ve always loved the aspect of playing defense so this right here is my stuff. Thanks for this amazing video analysis!!!
The more I watch your stuff the more I get impressed.... and I've always been very impressed. Great work as always
Love your content Brett
They are fundamentally sound and all their d lineman are athletic kind of reminds me of the old new York giants d line with justin tuck Jason pierre paul
Did u say that Linval Joseph is athletic
@@vincentcarrier3440 Linval Joseph is a beast, just look at the tape and if that's not good enough listen to what the other players say about him from his NFL top 100s
Octopus not saying he’s bad but his game is all centered around his raw strength instead of speed and finesse. He’s not built like a jj watt or a Khalil Mack
@@vincentcarrier3440 this is soo wrong, just count how often linval is making takcles near the Line of scrimmage even outside the Hashes ... he is not only stupidly strong but also pretty fast for his position. (His TD last year was at some time with over 18 mp/h)
Awesome video!!! You are still the best in the game Keep'em coming my friend!!
Every video is so thought out. I love your videos man
Brett, your videos are like a brain massage to me. They are so underrated. Keep up the great work!
You are by far the *BEST* at these breakdowns - *BRAVO!!!* 😎
You can talk about Jacksonville’s swag, or Chicago’s Physicality, but MN no question has the smartest. Great Breakdown 👍🏻
2:58 very cool and technical tackle by Eric Kendricks! Lost little bit of ground but wrapped Alshon up and threw him backwards
Loved the vid!
Great video!
Man I love your videos! Easily my favorite channel on YT. Please keep em coming... but I’m curious if you watch other YTers and if so, who are your favorites?
Damn, I miss Zim...
I'd love to know how the Bengals defense would look today with him on the sideline.
@Jack Keenum? And Bradford? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bradford is out if the league and Keenum lost his job temporarily to a rookie who has been trash all preseason and regular season cousins has issues to but your wild also zimmer had to get talked into getting cousins by spielman 😂😂 zimmer is trash with timeouts but dont put cousins on him and dont try n say Keenum and Bradford are better
@Jack First, that's more Speilman who picks players.
Next, Keenum one of the better qbs? LOL He played fine but if it wasn't for great receivers catching everything and getting schemed open Keenum would look like he does rn. He's ok really. He can play but he's not really good.
Bradford had a great arm no doubt. Sam isn't even in the league rn. No one signed him. Bradford had injury problems through his whole career. He was finally healthy his first year with MN and then the second, injured. Kinda hard to keep and pay a guy to NOT PLAY!
So, Minnesota had 2 options. Keep Teddy Bridgewater and try to get Kirk Cousins. If Kirk decided to play in MN then Teddy would get let go, if not then Teddy would be the QB.
Kirk was the safer option because he has a good history of not being injured, has a good arm, and is pretty football smart. He has his issues to.
Teddy was a bit more risky because they didn't know how well he could really play yet since his injury. Plus, he's only played 2 seasons in the NFL. Teddy finally back and is able to play and he's playing decent/well for Saints. Good for him. Love the guy.
Kirk is playing pretty good to right now.
Those were the two options, Kirk being the safer one in the fact that he was 100% healthy and ready to play last season. Teddy may not have been ready enough.
What a great video. Well produced and a very informed analysis. Refreshing sports content relative to the hot takes driven and no substance that so many other providers offer.
You are great at what you do Brett, keep it up!
Love it! Skol!
So brilliantly well said.
Last week’s video helped me in fantasy thank you
Great video, more Vikings please
You should do a video on why the niners are or aren’t “pretenders” or whatever your opinion on them is
I wish everyone would just ignore the 49ers. They'll just keep grinding, improving, and winning.
Love the topic great video
I have never liked football much but this channel really makes me respect how cerebral the game is and I’ve come to appreciate it much much more.
Chess with muscles
You are so good at this! I really just started getting into your videos, and it makes me wonder why teams don't try to adapt to Zimmer's system and replicate it elsewhere? Good work and keep it up!
this is the kind of content that needs to be everywhere. FS1, ESPN, CBS Fox,.Kudos Brett, best football channel on the web.
Love the breakdown
Nice stuff dude
I like all vikings videos! Good job Brett!
Damn when I subbed you were at like 30k subs. You've picked up some steam brother. Very glad to see.
goosebombs at 11:31 ! Knowledge made athmospheric.
Greetings from Germany
Brett: Great analysis of the Vike's D pass rush.
Todays my Bday. Thanks for making this video!!!!!
Hey Brett it’d be great if you could do a video talking about the niners defense and their success this year
😱 OMG, this is why I love this channel
You have the best videos ever!!!
Hey Brett, I know you have tons of videos planned but i was wondering your thoughts on Matt Stafford. I’ve watched a fair amount of the Lions this year and it seems like he is consistently playing great ball and is extremely underrated. Thanks for the great content.
Good video 💜
Great video! Vikes have had the best defense in the NFL over a five year span (since 2015). There is a talent on every level. With that being said, the secondary showed some holes last week against the Lions and the Greenbay game. In particularly Xave has not been playing at the same high level as in 2016/2017. Zim needs to fix some of the secondary issues, particulary in the first half of games. The second half adjustments have been nothing short of stellar (particularly GB game). SKOL!
Can you do a breakdown of the 9ers defense? Obviously we have a super talented front 4 (and talented back ups behind them) but this year we’re playing a lot of quarters/cover 6 behind it as well as the usual cover 3, and have been calling some really creative “creeper” pressures. You make great breakdowns and it would be cool to see some of the breakdowns of the rush and coverage tied together
You should do a video on the ravens defense and how it has evolved and what it needs
Brett, I love your stuff.
Do you think you could watch some film on the Bills secondary and let us know what you see? I think that Poyer/Hyde/White/Wallace might be the smartest secondary in the league with the brilliant way they disguise coverages and blitzs to look like the other.
I would love you to speak about the Steelers defense, either how they get so much sacks and their blitz schemes etc, or how Minkah and new friends have made them so much better from last year
Tbh this is my favorite episode
Top 5 D, consistently top 10 D
For those screens the linebackers bite on, runa backside under route ... or kill it to a X or dub slant combo.
I love this video Vikings are my favorite team your the best
Love your vids, if you can squeeze a Seahawk vid in your schedule that'd be awesome boss 🔥🔥🔥
Probs for this content! Love it!
This year there were defensive players that took a pay cut to stay in Minnesota. That doesn’t happen very often. This is the year for the Vikings. The offensive coordinator they picked up is amazing and I’m sure he will get a head coaching job as soon as the season ends.
Mike Hughes has been phenomenal. He and Alexander might have Waynes and Rhodes beat as the best CBs on the team
Rhodes should be replaced now. Zimmer is too loyal.
Mr. Suhaib I’d agree with Hughes over Rhodes at this point, but still think Waynes is putting together a pretty good year as an outside corner. I think he’s a guy that you just have to accept is gonna make a few dumb DPI plays throughout the season. Alexander works so well as the nickel corner tho I really think that’s the perfect spot for him. I really hope they can trade Rhodes and maybe start to find his replacement in the draft
Rhodes will bounce back.
@@darrellcampbell4755 I hope you're right.
@@darrellcampbell4755 when? He's only getting older. Rhodes open.
LONG TIME LISTENER FIRST TIME CALLER LOVE THE SHOW. Excellent stuff, especially back-to-back with analysis of the disaster in Atlanta. I'd love to see a piece about how the Steelers defense has gone from turnover-starved and completely disorganized in 2017-18 to what looks to be a stifling, game-changing turnover machine in 2019. It looks like Minkah Fitzpatrick, Steven Nelson and Devin Bush have changed the complexion substantially. But there's a lot of hue and cry among Steelers fans about what are perceived to be structural failures in DC Keith Butler's defensive scheme (or at least how it's called), and it's hard to know how much of the dysfunction and how much of the success are on the play design, the players execution and communication, and on the calls. Obviously though, extremely small sample size for the current iteration of that defense -- but if it continues through 2019, it'd make a fascinating video. There's also a very strange situation in which it's becoming difficult to know who among the coaching staff is really behind the wheel of this defense. There have been reports of Tomlin being heavily involved, which goes counter to his reputation as a delegator; meanwhile, the organization also pretty unexpectedly fired its only OLB coach (Joey Porter), officially assigning that duty back to Butler. At the same time, they brought in Teryl Austin as a "senior defensive assistant" and "secondary coach," just a year after hiring Tom Bradley, who nonetheless remains the "defensive backs coach." All around, it's hard to know who is doing what, what is being done differently by design in 2019 (if anything), and what has accounted for the successes and failures.
i want this back
That outro music is fire 🔥
If Minnesota has a top ten qb, they would be huge nfc favorites
Kirk can either be top 5 or bottom 5 in a game. It's annoying.
Thrggee .d imagine if Russell Wilson or deshaun wats was on that team. It’d be Seattle 2013 all over again.
not a bills fan but very interested in how well their defense works without any superstars

Hey Brett, big fan! Any chance of bringing back your "Picks Against the Spread" series this season?
Will you be doing a video on the up and coming 49ers defense?
Thanks for coming out with this right before my lions play them lol
Could u do a vid like this on the bears defense? Like how they use group tackling a lot and can rely on each other on each play?
Brett, you should make a video about Quinton Dunbar. PFFs #1 ranked cornerback right now and he came into the league as an UDFA WR. He’s really been elite this year.
