Saying that holding the #1 scoring offense to 7 points was flukey is absurd.

They have to make excuses for getting their arse handed to them

i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any assistance you can give me!

[@RugbyLarsen]

All your videos are absolutely tremendous. I enjoy the professionalism and the time taken to go into detail. I learn so much.

[@danstvguy]

I heard this accidently while on a hike but wasn't able to favorite or suscribe. Then I tried to find it on KZbin and was having big time problems ... until I went to Google and search on "best KZbin channels for NFL analysis". So I got it. GREAT CHANNEL ... !! ...

[@buddy4444l]

I have to say that your videos are phenomenal. It really helps to understand why things go wrong and how to beat certain situations. Keep up the great work! Greets from Germany

[@NigelJ]

Thankful for the little things, like how you churn out all these pristine breakdowns on a consistent basis. You're the man Brett!

[@randallnelson2768]

Binge watching your videos, and this sweet sweet notification comes up. Keep on being awesome!

[@dannyb4283]

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for making this video!!

[@thatboysims3k879]

Awesome vid, always something new to learn, nice one Brett

[@theonecheetah7923]

This was actually really informative. Very interesting to watch. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@VillainousWolf]

Love your videos man, so in depth. Keep it up

[@maxwhitney4136]

I don't think you understand how much I love your videos and your channel. Keep up the amazing work, and I hope that you keep doing bigger and better things.

[@firingrangegaming3871]

Brett keep up the great work you are easily the best youtuber out there so keep grinding and doing what you do

[@907gunter]

I really enjoy your videos man. Learn a lot given I love football but never played. Appreciate your work. Thanks.

[@WarpedHorizon]

Thank you for making this!

[@kilafice3045]

you gotta make more videos brett!! you're videos are great.

[@skolskolbowl5299]

McVay being only 31yrs old is simply amazing, the Rams are in good hands. Pay the man! -from a Vikings fan

[@Jagmino]

Damm legit the best NFL vids on KZbin, love the effort dude

[@mattl8774]

Excellent analysis as always.

[@Tuckmac3]

Love your stuff man keep it up

[@jaythe416fan5]

Notification squad! Love the content G, can't wait for your picks this week!

[@CouveTJ]

I'm a new viewer and I got to say, I would watch every single one of these if I had the time. These are great! I love how you back everything up with film and illustrate and explain everything to NFL simpletons like me. Keep up the good work man! As someone else mentioned, I want to see how the Patriots turned it around on defense and the opposite for the Chiefs (how their defense collapsed). Also, as a 49ers fan, I'd love a Jimmy G breakdown if he has a big game (like I hope he does) this week.

[@Nvme18]

My favourite football channel on KZbin. I've learned soo much!

[@Im18AndBalding]

Brett, love the videos! You have my favorite channel on KZbin for film breakdowns BY FAR. I was wondering if you would consider talking about Jimmy Graham's red zone dominance this year and how it's affecting the Seahawks offense. Or Bobby Wagner's DPOY season.

[@TheJoker-hw9ib]

Zimmer would’ve changed his plan too but he stuck to what was working. I wanna see Zimmer vs. Belichick.

[@Skeith0X]

See I thought this was gonna be Vikings video but it sounded like you were saying they got lucky. You don't give vikings the credit they deserve

[@michaelbatista2869]

Yep. A Looooooot of disrespect here.

[@JH-ji6cj]

I felt the same. Brett says how Zimmerman have McVay his *welcome to the NFL* moment, yet then by the end is saying that the Rams missed obvious concepts that have been forever called. Strange.

[@ryankruse1634]

Skeith0X the Vikings aren’t that good

[@ShinefortheCam]

Bengals fan here! Love the vids Brett you are awesome bro, Keep them coming! Happy Thanksgiving To all!!!!

[@matt0mazzocchi]

awesome video. loved this one

[@Maxwell-be4wt]

can you do an episode on xavier rhodes, adam theilen, or case keenum? i feel like they are very underrated and layers players who you should take a deeper look at. i would love to see you break down their football specialties. love your videos btw, keep churning them out you do a great job!

[@seekerhound]

I love how it is all, "if the rams simply did this..." Not a single thing saying the Vikings earned the win. Let's not mention that it was the first time that Gurly didn't make a single defender miss (ie. tackling for the Vikings was on point) or that the Vikings DL constantly beat the Ram's OL and got 13 QB pressures (2nd most pressures that the Ram's had seen to that point this season). I guess if the Vikings were a better team, the Ram's would not have scored a single point, but they are only a decent unit and the Vikings were just lucky that the Ram's had a rookie HC.

[@surfingbird5227]

Happy thanksgiving Brett

[@gaige2910]

You`re acting like the Vikings are incapable of making adjustments as well. If the rams were to start running more traps,the Vikings would’ve adjusted. Zimmer is a defensive mastermind.

[@biggy0917]

I agree Zimmer just has too much football iq to let that happen over and over again

[@tcorisbanks9777]

And they adjust to the trap runs then our bread and butter boots start working 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@chuckyoder5765]

The NBA2k God123 , funny isnt it . In other words Zimmer played McVay straight up with a his typical defense and won . LA gained no more info then what they already know . So if they approach another game with Minny and are thinking we will just run more trap runs , then because Zimmer will adjust we can go back to our waggles , they are going to be in for a rude awakening . The beauty of the Vikings defense isn't in the schemes Zimmer runs , it's in the schemes he can run because of his personell . As you have stated in your other vids Zimmer's players give him infinite possibilities in schemes on defense . I agree that a rematch between the Rams and Vikings will not be as lopsided score wise as the first game , but if you think McVay will now school the old master , uh , no , not gonna happen . Plus it'll still have to be in the Purple Palace and it'll be hell for the Rams to hear .

[@10secondslideshows87]

*Remembers NFC Championship*

[@sam21skin]

I'm not sure if I blame the Rams offensive line for not being an effective man blocking unit or the coaches for not straying away from their zone blocking scheme, but I think I simple philosophy change in the offensive line could've saved the game and allowed the play action to flourish

[@UnDoneDg]

FINALLY! Some love for my Vikings! Thanks you! Love the video!

[@kenbigs6181]

He did like two or three videos on them last year.

[@vadoom3353]

I would like a video on how case keenum is suddenly a good qb

[@PK-vt6ed]

Vadoom 335 I️ would also like this. Considering Teddy is my choice but Keenum started to act like Joe Montana out there

[@markzucc3277]

Yes

[@influentia1patterns]

It's part of the way they coded the simulation... If you eat enough victory waffles, you evolve to a level 99 Kennumzar

[@influentia1patterns]

Ty Reek Perhaps, and Adam Thielen is really good at adjusting to less than accurate passes so inconsistent accuracy doesn't hurt like it did for other level 99 Keenumzoids. Diggs too. Plus they run good routes

[@iamaksel]

Mandela Effect Comedy our oline is also very very goos

HAPPY THANKSGIVING BRETT

[@BrettKollmann]

Happy Turkey day man

[@LABRADOR904]

such a great vid!

[@jakenorman8053]

Hey. Just wanted to say your film room series is fantastic.

[@BrettKollmann]

Thank you!

[@beeatoms]

well done brett!

[@louisxyz1]

This was great, I'd love to see you do mire about playcalling, its such a subtle thing that isn't super visible on the broadcast.

[@AXXSOS]

It would be fun to see you break down how the patriots defense has improved significantly since the start of the season. Or how Brady's still playing at such a high level, tricking and ripping opposing defenses apart Great video as always by the way Thanks for all the likes. Hopefully he does a video regarding one of these topics

[@213WICKED]

throbbin Bloodtube i second this

[@MrMidence]

No patriots fan

[@thedancinglobster]

cmfxg stop hating

[@playitbacc6931]

They still giving up a lot of yards just teams not getting in the red zone plus patriots hasn't play a competent offense yet so

[@AXXSOS]

Savage Got Game they shut the falcons out completely for the the first three quarters. And what I mean is that the offense doesn't need to put up 34 points a game to win anymore because the defense is currently allowing less than 14 points a game. It doesn't matter how many yards you allow. Because red zone defence is the most important defence. Also they're allowing a lot less yardage right now, their overall stats just look bad because of shitty defense in the early season. Sorry didn't mean to write a novell.

[@kevinpilon11]

Dang man that's some serious analysis. Quite good videos, quite!

[@TTTrentHarvey]

FANTASTIC video! Coming from a long time Rams fan of 16 years. Agree with every aspect. I was also saying that one of the KEY reasons we lost that game was because we completely moved away from the scheme that's been working for us throughout the season. Nice to know that I was on the rite track. Keep'em coming!

[@yehoshuathompson]

I absolutely love your channel. The quality is amazing, you post consistently (and about interesting topics), and you make the complicated parts of football easy to understand for idiots like me. Just want to show my appreciation, keep up the good work. (And thanks for the free $25)

[@BrettKollmann]

Thanks for the support!

[@xagentch3rryx110]

Keep up the good vids

[@stuartthomson7811]

Great stuff. Would love to see a Tyrod video.

[@jcgitmo9217]

I hope the NFL hires you to analyze game film and research. Your videos are extremely high quality. KEEP IT UP!!!

[@badkiwi42]

Thank you for this video! I'm a huge Vikings fan and I was at this game.

[@Jagmino]

badkiwi 42 No way that's insane dude ...

[@VictorRamirez-do2hx]

Was it loud?

[@sctslincoln]

I dont know what you watched, but what I got was Zimmer is a crappy coach and the Rams should have beat them The Vikings were incapable of adjusting. They would have just got dominated

[@snoopfrogg1975]

Same!

[@wyattrocarek7894]

A Norseman Zimmer is a defensive mastermind and a Rams Team can’t run of 3 superstars unlike the Viking where there is good players everywhere

[@user-is1vz6nw2l]

You failed to point out likely counter adjustments by Zimmer, in the event that baby genius McVay ever grows up out of diapers.

[@Kakseca]

I thought this was going to be a bashing of the Rams, but I was pleasantly surprised with your analysis of the game. Great job!!

[@drettydre149]

Love your videos keep grinding #footballgeeks

[@progressive_thinker2844]

Good video, but is Brett a Rams fan? The bias was palpable throughout the video

[@UsingInvisibleInk]

Progressive_Thinker28 I think he’s more of Shanahan style coaches... he’s actually a Texans fan

[@sean-lucshanahan9140]

I actually thought he seemed like a Vikings fan.

[@levipetersen4406]

Houston

[@hansharris6263]

Looking a quality Mike Zimmer video. Thanks buddy

[@DaBTEDI]

great thanks!

[@kylelandon1358]

Like the breakdown! Although you correct about your second trap example (Gurley TD), I do think the first 2 examples were just split zone looks. That is inside zone with a crossing blocker (TE in those examples) to take care of the unblocked DE. This is what McVay and Shanahan run a lot of their boots off of. As soon as the DE squeezes that block too hard the boot will be called and the TE will release into the flats. Great stuff!

[@The_Milkman_Delivers]

This hurts so bad.

[@joeywashington7973]

You Did A Good Job BREAKING Down the Cover Three Defense!! well down☆☆

[@laxfreakm7]

ive been wanting you to do a rams game for a long time, and you finally did one. wasnt the greatest game for us but damn that is crazy to think mcvay didnt adjust the play calling to beat the defense. the score was way closer than the scoreboard read and i really hope to see them again.

[@robertvanek1933]

I miss these Vikings :(

[@reiniroosh]

When the Rams played the niners, I noticed they would sometimes quick-set-and-snap. The defense and camera would not be ready for it. It was a bit tough to see what they were doing, but it was really interesting and effective. And in Goffs mic’ed up segment his cadence would start with “turtle” or “turbo.” When the Rams, or basically only the Patriots, bust out their hurry up, seems like especially the first couple games of the season, it’s so effective and easy. “Why doesn’t every team do this?” But when other teams try it, inevitably they are sloppy in or inaccurate. Drop, false start, something kills the drive. Conversely, teams that can do it well, the defense is afraid to set up late, so then the offense can wait and adjust the play after the D has shown their hand. Slightly related, but in Seattle’s 2 min offense they are just able to get lined up and set for the next play sooo much faster than bad offenses. Why?!!? Can you do a video about Patriots or Rams tempo, especially turbo?

[@bsn576]

First comment ever on KZbin, awesome video man!!

[@UnseenSamy]

Hey I have a question : do you have the rights from the nfl to use their content or you just post and not care until commissioner calls you? Haha I have my own channel, I'm not showing nfl content because I don't want to get my channel shut down?

[@henryford1903]

Good video

[@brendangilmartin3716]

Talk about cowboys offense without Zeke

[@brodyrichards82]

Brendan Gilmartin meqwk vib

[@parlez4480]

Don't expose my Vikings :(. Was excited to watch the video, but you just explained how to beat my team T_T Great video though

[@Mr6andahalf]

Parlez Vue zim was using what was working, if the Rams changed up to something like what he said in the vid, zim would also change

[@asb81689]

Like other coaches don't know how to do this....

[@garycobiak5926]

Inside runs and play action passes over the middle... Yikes

[@ethan6439]

That’s like 5% of the playbook. I didn’t even see cover 0, 2, or even 4. They’ll send blitzes every now and then too so that the QB won’t have time to pick apart the D.

[@LB-uw5cy]

Coaching staff already know this stuff, they're all tape guys too.

[@sbb6779]

Rodgers has trouble and he's been playing Zimmer's defense 2x per yr for a few yrs now. But, it's as simple as this video makes it to outscheme that defense.

[@rickchyczewski576]

Only after the fact. Its easy to watch the game and say what will work against a certain offense or defense. Hindsight is 20/20.

[@mitchellanderson3960]

This is exactly why Zimmer is against having video access on the sidelines and only having stills or seeing it from a booth; any one can catch onto what a team is doing if they can replay it over and over again. Adjust by feeling and seeing it, not by video.

[@trevorsc13]

Hey Brett, huge fan of your videos. Got a question for you, how do you get all the game film that you use in your videos?

[@BrettKollmann]

NFL GamePass

[@yoshikilla818]

Damn what up notification squaaaaaaad lol I'm so tired

[@jesseortiz1267]

How are you not a COACH?!? I don't even like to watch flim that much but the points and the way you explain everything is so well layed out

[@145Chickzac]

jesse ortiz This was after the game. Analyzing the game DURING the game is much much different and much harder.

[@emurrell17]

Id love to see you break down the panthers offense and why its been so inconsistent. What should we expect as the season wraps up?

[@reiniroosh]

emurrell17 agree. Panthers offense is fascinating. Never seen so many easy/busted coverage plays. Hard to tell sometimes cause Newton misses them... I think Shula is doing some awesome stuff with personnel/formations/scheme

[@jimbobleeroy7370]

On thanksgiving? You da man. This dude deserves to be on NFL network!

[@Ranchghost1]

Great Video. Much as I suspected, McVay fell into a rut on his play calling. Hopefully this will wake him up.

[@OldSchoolGM94]

Holy shit you where so accurate. The slot verticals destroyed MN this year. Play action pulled Barr up short twice for easy TDs.

[@jkutnink87]

So... you are saying the Vikings don't adjust and only do the same thing every game..... really?

[@michaelgreer1972]

jkutnink87 They change. Different gameplans, they always give various looks regardless of who they play. They played conservative on the edge to stop Gurley.

[@BrettKollmann]

That's not what I said. I just said that their base coverages have not changed at all.

[@jtorola]

Brett Kollmann the double A gap set has 25 basic setups before they even get to tricky. I don't think you really know your xs and os that well. Harrison Smith is also statistically the best safety in history this year and he has the ability to move around based on his own personal pre snap reads which is a huge part of the defense.

[@Smitty2774]

Nice video! But in your video, the Rams only ran trap once down on the goal line. The other two runs where inside zone, you can tell by Todd's foot work and aiming point along with the double team by the O-line.

[@dustinmoore2589]

So are you going to make a part 2 where Mcvay schooled Zimmer

[@TybolaVirus28]

Do how Phillip rivers destroyed the cowboys defense

[@abaofifsz]

I could tell you how. Slow defense and inept secondary. Defensive play calling was good but lacked any urgency or execution.

[@influentia1patterns]

The Cowboys got a 1star review on Yelp and now their confidence is shot and they can't even talk to girls.

[@erlend1n]

Skip Bayless says that Sean Lee is the most important peace off the cowboy defence. And the evidence with/without sean Lee seams too point that way. Bit is this true? Would be great if you could breakdown Cowboys defence with/without sean Lee and Cowboy offence with/without zek. Keep up the great work👍🏻

[@bgonzalez52]

Damn you should do a team breakdown with votch Lombardi

[@Dragongst]

When you making the How McVay's gameplan schools Zimmer video?

[@GarrettAbbey]

This is fucking awesome. Take my subscription. Thanks

[@AreWhyAyeInn]

Can you do a video about how McVay got his revenge and spanked Zimmer’s defense?

[@mytrellthomas2998]

Are we gonna get that Ramsey vs Hopkins part 2

[@Josh-hr5mc]

An idea maybe do film room on Telvin Smith and Lavonte David

[@FunkObama]

how about a vid of what the vikes left on the table?

[@anthonyguajardo4962]

Great video I would hope to see my rams get another chance at this team ...... give credit to the Vikings defense and very happy for Casey kanum

[@bellsboy]

No worries on Sept 27th Coach McVay will apply what he learned last November and my Rams will take it out on Cousins and the Vikings this time in our place.

[@jpowers55]

You sir, are a fortune teller.

[@formerlyknownaseasrob]

I️ hope Dennis Allen does the thing Zimmer did except make it where when it’s towards Alex Okafor he takes the flat but when it’s towards Cam Jordan, there’s a LB taking the flats and the other guys replace each other’s zones until Okafor has the last guy’s zone covered.

[@cadensmith7790]

Do a vid on the Vikings o-line plz they have been playing way better than anyone thinks

[@blockbuster3333333]

Please do Mitch trubisky

[@travistran98]

Can you do your next video on the Chargers please thx

[@Perceptious37]

on that play around 4:20, Goff was just staring down 81. He should have been looking through 89 so he could see the cross between Kupp and 89, while still having peripheral vision on the flat and to see if Watkins was burning his defender. Goff is bad, but this was a great play that should have been a 1st down to Kupp on his slant. Goff even plants at the perfect time to throw to Kupp, but he is too busy staring down 81 to see the whole field. So, he just scrambles and throws an incompletion and still takes a hit.

[@chrisborgman9155]

You are literally sending content like Mike & Mike to an early retirement. Keep up the good work

[@Punkinspapa]

McVay will learn and adapt! The kid is brilliant!

[@anthonyguajardo4962]

So where is the video of McVey school Zimmer at?

[@elitster]

Wow! Well done! #GoRams

[@fulaan1]

How about a video on the Vikings implosion at the Eagles in the NFC championship game???

[@christopherquiroga2769]

Where do you get the game film I would love to study players at my position

[@dawrldizmike]

Great video but I think had the rams gone to well too many times the plays would have come back closer to the mean the crowd noise x the pre snap coverage switches kind negated McVays system I think.

[@andrewwebster4348]

You've given me a lot to watch out for when my Lions go up against these Vikings later today.
