Just a quick update for everyone who was trying to watch the Eagles video that was released last week....yes, it was taken down because of a false copyright claim, and I was given a copyright strike in the process, but please know that it was NOT actually the Eagles that filed the claim. It was just some douche bag impersonating the Eagles who used a fake email to get the video falsely striked and removed. I have already filed a counter notice and I am awaiting a decision from KZbin on the appeal. I'm sure that they will let the video come back considering the false nature of the copyright claim (and the obviously fake email that was used), but you never know. I'll keep you all updated as I know more. Until then...I'll be chilling in Interlaken.

[@allanstott3319]

Brett Kollmann In a way, if it actually *was* the Eagles, it would've strongly validated the accuracy of that video. It's maybe the best one you've put together 😉. Enjoy your honeymoon!!

[@jacobduchesne22]

That is petty, u got alot of football knowledge and I learn from every video u put out

[@browndeathmouse9983]

Brett Kollmann Iiiiii

[@stephenshay9838]

I agree Allen, probably my favorite breakdown.

Brett Kollmann iii

[@radicalbanana1217]

Damn, I didn't know how much time went into each video! I have a new appreciation for all of your vids. I love what you're doing and I think you're the best analyst on KZbin!

[@metalfox28]

An idea that could result in good content with minimal hours devoted to would be to watch you analyze games as you're watching them for the first time. Call out defensive coverages, any notable matchups to watch before the snap, any tendencies in play calling you're noticing. Even if you get fooled or you're wrong about a scheme, it would still be very interesting watching you get fooled by coordinators, and learning from it. I love your work and admire the hours you put into it. I also enjoy your unexpected topics of discussion, GB OL and falcons losing to the eagles, for example. Im getting really tired of hearing about the big names and glamorous headlines.

[@stevendominguez5517]

metalfox28 I second this.

[@srkY80]

Hi from Croatia! I love your content, your videos alongside the book Take Your Eye Off the Ball really helped me get some deeper understanding of the game, especially as I've only started watching it couple of years ago and had no idea what any of the coverage schemes or other intricacies of football were. Keep up the great work and enjoy your honeymoon!

[@Mookzprince]

Hi Brett I have been watching your videos for a few years now. Coming from New Zealand, NFL dosent have a huge following here. However, I enjoy your videos. I always find them insightful and educational... helps to understand/enjoy the game from little ol New Zealand 🤙 Thank you and keep up the good work. Cheers

[@MrGking1303]

Hey Brett, I’m from the Netherlands and I recently got into American football. I want you to know that your videos have been so helpful to help me understand this game I’ve come to love! Your videos are so entertaining to watch and I hope you keep up the amazing work! Have a nice honeymoon!

[@BrettKollmann]

Thank you very much for the support! I hope to go to the Netherlands soon!

[@rayontita1912]

MrGking1303 I got into watching American Football recently as well, and there's a video on the channel Ninh Ly called 'The rules of American Football- Explained (NFL). It's absolutely brilliant if you want to learn and understand the basics. All the best!!

[@livnedX7]

You & Samuel Gold are the GOATs of Football analysis. Fell in love with your channel when i saw ur Harrison Smith video. Shout out from southeast asia!

[@BillPlain1]

Congrats on being a newly wed! Everyone deserves it. That said, you really do great pieces regarding tape analysis. Any piece you produce is great, I think we all just want more because it is that good.

[@Thergood]

There is a severe lack of in-depth football analysis. Look at how people responded to Romo in the booth, and he just gets to scratch the surface. Maybe the NFL will catch the hint at some point. Keep up the good work.

[@TheNightOwlKS]

Thergood Romo in the booth was a revelation of football knowledge for many fans. Even the biggest Cowboys haters could appreciate what Romo was doing on commentary.

[@veeshallkumballi2551]

TheNightOwl11683 I hate the Dallas Cowboys before Tony Romo is my favorite sports commentator of all time based on that one season

[@lllllelamp2308]

I need my autism triggered.

[@k99krig]

Problem is, the networks and the NFL don't want to alienate casual fans. They want to expand.

[@Thergood]

k99krig For game broadcasts that make perfect sense, plus there isn't a lot of time during broadcasts to break stuff down. But casual fans aren't watching the NFL network 24/7. That's not too mention all the digital and "new media" avenues open to them to provide this content in addition to what already exists. Streaming, video, blogs, etc. etc.

[@SnackMuay]

I’ve been thinking the same thing. I understand that maybe ESPN doesn’t want to bother casual football fans with analysis, but the NFL has their own network dedicated to football, why aren’t they airing some deeper-level analysis?

[@SnackMuay]

Jumpin Jahosaphat I think there’s a good chance that you’re right, but unlike MTV, we’ve never had a chance to see if a film breakdown/analysis show would be successful. And with a full team of people instead of just one person, you could reduce the numerous hours of film on a per-person basis. You’re right that people wouldn’t be doing it for money, they’d be doing it out of passion, but there’s no shortage of people who are willing to work hard just for the passion of spreading football knowledge. Television is losing viewers to online media, but there’s no way to know that that isn’t *because* the programs are so broadly tailored. I personally get incredibly bored of hearing the same surface level analysis for months on end, especially during the off season when there aren’t a lot of storylines to follow. I think that the offseason could be a great time to teach football fans more about the game.

[@Propaleadership]

Loved your answer to the 2nd question. Really shows your love for the game and not getting sucked into doing videos just for views and clicks. Keep your product coming!!!

[@ZipCrash]

Excellent Q&A video. I really enjoyed learning more about your past and your goals with this channel. Keep it up always!

[@MrJonnyB21]

I really like how detailed your videos are and it made me like the sport even more.

[@richardturtlegrande]

Dude, love your content for your unwavering commitment to quality and educating your audience. I've learned alot from your videos and view football in a different way. I'm even more in love with this beautiful sport

[@jamescarter6414]

Brett, your videos are so informative and I know I can’t be the only one who feels you make in-depth football digestible and easy to understand. It would be amazing if alongside these you started to break down fundamentals of the game. Watching you profile concepts like Tampa 2 as if they were an elite player on The Film Room would be awesome to learn even more about what, how and why these things exist and would suit your awesome video style too. Consider it mate!

[@JashyJ88]

You touched on a thing in the first question about why you make these videos and it was because you wanted to teach your audience about football. All of your videos are top quality teaching videos. I have used your videos and breakdowns and applied it for myself for a league I play in for fun. I can’t say enough good things about the work that you do and by you breaking down how much of your time goes into each one, it makes me appreciate them that much more. Thank you for the knowledge you give to all of us and I always look forward to the next video

[@juanmaestas2692]

I learned so much from you. Like sometimes in school when om done with my work I find myself just sitting there (as a wr) drawing route concepts to beat certain coverages and it's just so spectacular that from things like you talking about AB and Big Ben and showing how they work together. I have actually taken a lot of stuff from that video and used it to evolve my game and make myself known in my city

[@BrettKollmann]

Glad to hear it man. Keep working!

[@HOUSEMDSB7]

I love the fact that you do what you love and it was an experience that striked the change in your career into something you truly care about! Thanks for putting in the time and effort to teach us learn more about the game we all love, appreciate you and your work even more now! Enjoy your honeymoon and looking forward to seeing whats coming next from you and your channel!

[@Adiel-.-]

LOVEDDDDD TODAYS VIDEO! Thank you so much for the much waited Q&A.. loved hearing you talk about mariota and the new Coaching staff but I was hoping you’d get more into the coaching staff.. they are all sooo good! Combs created amazing DBs in Ohio and dean pees is a really good defense coach too!! Either way.. amazing video as always and thank you!

[@BrockMak]

8:22 Pretty much every time I want to do an MLB lurk on Madden. I've seen the tutorial videos of when to do it, but as a "blitz at all costs" LB user, I missed my share of opportunities. When I FINALLY got a pick 6 on a planned delayed blitz just 2 days ago, I had to get a glass of water, I was so pumped to get it.

[@BrockPageProductions]

⚠️ great stuff guys! I’m really finding myself enjoying your work more and more each day! ⚠️

[@tric5122]

I remember when I really started watching and enjoying football, I would watch the pre and post games and guys like Maddon, Parcells, and a few others I've forgotten that really helped break down the game which allowed me a greater understanding. You were right Brett, that concept would have been loved and watched.

[@guimedcarvalho]

I´m still on the first question and already absolutely love this video. This is my favorite channel on youtube. Congrats on your honeymoon Brett

[@Nickifyy]

I would love to see a weekly highlight reel from you breaking down the schemes, awareness and ability that make plays happen. I understand you usually feature a team or player, but a league wide weekly episode doing that would be a great boost to your content. Love your stuff, keep it up!

[@badgoogle9938]

Great content, I wish you all the best for the future.

[@deadlyrocket2761]

When u said that you watched all of the games at one time at the NFL Network Studio, I was reminded of my uncle’s house where he has 8 TVs in one room and we watch all the games at once

[@unemployedbean]

i seriously love your channel man. please keep making these videos.

[@TjNoLabels]

Much respect bro.. I’ve fell in love with this channel.. I appreciate and value your analysis more than most of the so called “experts” who sounds like they’re reading and memorizing scripts.. We need more of your videos bro.. More cowboys videos please!

[@raymondwood2444]

I'm definitely learning. I played football in high school and want to continue playing at the next levels. Watching your videos I've learned more with football than I did in four years in high school

[@kennyortiz100]

Congrats on your Honeymoon brother, we appreciate you for your work and dedication.

[@Miller09095]

The fact that you put out content you believe in makes me an even bigger fan of your videos. It shows.

[@rodrigoc9699]

Almost at 100k! Deserve every single sub bro keep it up

[@dualranger]

Brett, you are an amazing youtuber and I am happy to say that I learn something new with every one of your videos. Have a happy honeymoon and thank you for your great content.

[@JRob.all22]

"Most people who watch football and love football don't really know football" - I couldn't agree more man. That's 100% right. Love the channel sir.

[@meatysmc]

Congrats on the marriage!!!

[@bertiehinkley495]

Brett, your content is incredible! Think it’d be a good idea for you to do some of these Q&A videos to supplement your regular film room episodes. Obviously you’re a very busy man but this might help generate a bit more revenue while not taking up a huge amount of time. And us fans get even more content to tide us over! Anyway keep up the good work

[@BrockMak]

13:39 So... I've been running Cover-3-based 4-3 since Madden 07?

[@arielllerena8355]

Can you do a video on Robbie Anderson please

[@Aaron3322]

Love your stuff Brett. Like George RR Martin. Waiting for product but when it does come out its gold. Keep it up.

[@Affngesicht]

I love that you also cover "unpopular" topics like the packers o-line. I'd love to see more Receiver and O-Line (e.g. runblocking/passprotection schemes) videos. Greetings from Germany.

[@Sycord]

Thank you Brett! I loved your answer to the question around 10 minutes, because your niche videos about lesser known players & techniques are way more interesting for me, than the 100.000th video of „This is why Brady/Rodgers is the GOAT“ out there. What I would love to see is are explainations for certain terminologies you use like „Gap Scheme Power Run Game“, because I never played tackle Football and I simply don‘t get what you mean. I guess a simple formation chart with some arrows would already do it!

[@BrettKollmann]

Have you watched my Gurley, Zeke, Fournette, Dalvin, or Barkley videos by chance? Those might help

[@themarksman1313]

19:38 Bobby Wagner haha. I know you mean Rick and just had a slipup but that made me fall off my chair lmao

[@MalakianM2S]

@Brett Kollman A bit late, but gratz on your honeymoon (and I guess wedding ^^). I played some american football here in Spain like 20 years ago, if something like your channel would've existed back then, my life would've been much happier. I think I learnt way more watching your videos than in all my practices in those days. Thanks for rekindle my love for this sport.

[@ajsraiders23]

You should take a look at Robby Anderson from year 1 to year 2 and what he can continue to improve on to become a great player and a great pair with Sam Darnold

[@RichiRicheh]

Congrats on the honeymoon. Great video and please keep doing what you do.

[@millsc0913]

The pass protection video on the Packers was incredible.

[@BrockMak]

10:26 Coach Nick from Bballbreakdown does it with basketball, I think Samuel Gold also did it as well.

[@dominique9054]

Your channel is amazing

[@BrettKollmann]

Thank you!

[@sleeping.helper]

Cheers from Brazil! You are my favourite channel on youtube! Enjoy your well deserved honeymoon bro!

[@SageKStroke52]

No one ever posts stuff about the Bengals because they're such a small market team. I love how you don't discriminate against teams for views and make content that interests you. That Andy Dalton video still haunts me to this day, keep up the good work!

[@benc4032]

That answer to the first question is so cool. Must have been amazing to witness two greats going at it, dropping all that knowledge. I love your content, and I have a question/request that I hope you see. I don't know how feasible it is, but is there a way you could pick through the league and go through all the main offensive/defensive philosophies and give a crash course on them? So that Seahawks defense you mentioned - the philosophy behind it, the prototype players you'd want for each position, the "bread and butter" plays, etc. Since it's a "copycat" league, you probably don't need a video for each team, just one of one of the teams that do it the best and examples of other teams that do essentially the same thing. I assume for the Seahawks, The Falcons are a very close "copycat" to what the Seahawks do, since Quinn was the defensive coordinator at their peak. Maybe highlight the stuff they do a little differently from the team that best exemplifies their scheme. Maybe we see the same kind of relationship between the Pats and Lions this coming year with Patricia bringing the Patriots' defensive philosophy to Detroit. Same for teams running and passing schemes. I wouldn't even know what to look for when trying to find similarities between most teams. I assume the Chiefs and Eagles would be examples of teams that try to do more or less the same things due to the close coaching tree ties. Anyway, thanks again for all the great content.

[@Jacob-sb3su]

Ben C The difference being almost all of the coordinators for bill bellichek have not been successfull at the next level

[@BrettKollmann]

I've thought about doing something like that if I have time over summer. Stay tuned!

[@sheldonhenige9736]

Thanks for the lions explanation, I think they will finally have a 100 yard rusher. They’re going to have 2 first round picks, 2 expensive free agents, and a 2nd round pick starting on their offensive line and Kerryon Johnson. I think they should be a top 10 rushing team based on that

[@random4life197]

Robby Anderson? 🙏🏻

[@directorDex]

You're literally my favorite analyst, Brett. Anywhere. The story about Dion and Irvin is an instant classic and illustrates part of why followers of your channel love your content. You break down high-level analysis for layman, everyday fans.... People are hungry for long-form breakdowns (it's the reason why Joe Rogan has millions of subscribers). That format is so much more rich. Anyway, thank you for doing awesome work and grats on the honeymoon. Get off the KZbins and go spoil that lady, bruh ;)

[@Josh-hr5mc]

Can you do a Double A Gap "Mug" video. The Zimmer Mug package as some call it. He makes QBs have nightmares at night. I made the request in the Eagles video comments but it got pulled so wasnt sure if you saw it

[@wisemantle8885]

Interesting. Vote up

[@TheNightOwlKS]

He went into that in his video on Harrison Smith. Look that one up.

[@sidneyboakye4662]

What Night owl said, he went over in in the Harrison Smith Video.

[@chrissimon3790]

Yes, I loved the video about the packers pass protection, I was bitching about every time my saints played them or I would make a snarky comment about how Rodgers wouldn’t have made a big play if they weren’t holding. Then your video taught me that they are ahead of the game with it

[@BrockMak]

11:34 I miss NFL Playbook and Anatomoy of A Play for those reasons.

[@tripleoo0]

The interesting thing about Seattle is that even though they're the forebearers of this new wave of single-high coverage, they themselves don't play with undersized linebackers; Bobby Wagner is 6'0" 240, and K.J. Wright is 6'4" 245. That's what allows them to play with just four underneath without sacrificing in run defense, and Kam Chancellor's size was a huge boon to that, as well. Everyone else is focused on the pursuit to the ball, but the average linebacker has dropped 10-15 lbs and is more liable to get run over by the Elliotts and Gurleys of the world.

[@peterlegenhausen2655]

congrats on your marriage Brett!

[@DuuiEdits]

You're a legend man!

[@alonwigodsky5912]

What do u think of Adrian Colbert, FS for the 49ers?

Can you do a video on someone on the Jets?

[@joaogabrielsilvadeavellar4609]

Jaredr Id love a video on Robby Anderson. I like a lot this guy

[@UCF_Jaguar]

Robby Anderson does not deserve a video lol

[@droach5241]

I want Chad Hansen to make the jump and get more PT. Cal players are usually hidden gems

[@arielllerena8355]

UCF Jaguar how would he not deserve a video? He was consistently beating good cornerbackers with bad qb play ever since mccown got injured, thats the only reason he didnt break 1000 yards

[@buckeye9983]

Jaredr y'all ass

[@Romedanger]

Best football content on KZbin hands down.

[@raymondwood2444]

What about how Ryan Jensen fits in with the Buccaneers o-line or a similar video about how Andrew Norwell will fit with Jacksonville

[@thomasbihn]

You now owe us a follow-up video: Was it all chocolate and cheese? Also, what you said about the next tend you see in the NFL has me very excited as a Browns fan given they just drafted a guy with good accuracy, a slot receiver, and an old school RB along with signing Hyde and Landry. I feel the Browns offense is going to look much better going forward.

[@Steelsharks412]

I think u should do more of these seems less work.love the channel

[@cdw5176]

This was so cool to listen to

[@bleh6615]

Damn Brett you’re almost at 100k subs!!!

[@beckjohn2390]

Can you do a video on Arden Key? As a raiders fan I want to know what we’re getting into.

[@mukuzChannel]

Beck John an athletic player, with commitment issues

[@johnathanvale8634]

There needs to be more people doing this stuff, because it is hard to expand my knowledge of football now that I now the basics. I try to look stuff up, but I just find the same old "a 4-3 defense looks like this" ,and " this is the route" tree"

[@Momo_Nana]

I think someone said it already but it would be nice to see you breakdown film when watching it the first or your first reaction to some plays

[@samdake5031]

Pls do one on derrick henry that would be interesting...very. anxious to hear and see your points and analysis on such a phisically freakish specimen. Pls and thnks.

[@joaovictorsenaseri1461]

Hey, Brett. I really enjoy your channel, thanks for those videos, awesome videos. I want to ask you something. I'm a brazilian DB, and I'm taking a shot to play at college. What coaches wanna see in FS?

[@TerryAnnOnline]

I love football but I will admit I don't know details. I feel like I'm learning from channels like yours.

[@lukethornsbrough422]

I think the Chicago Bears would be a great topic for a video. They have completely changed the offensive roster over the last two years. They have taken on the ideology of the Rams and Eagles by getting a young QB and surrounding him with an offensive minded coach and a lot of weapons to be successful with. Also the Bears have been flagged by several sources as the surprise team for 2018. They are a team with a lot of no name players and they have a very high ceiling coming into 2018. They could be very interesting.

[@zaccahill2985]

THE GOAT!

[@BIGTENFanatic]

Thanks for answering the Lions OL and RB issues. As a die hard Lions fan their OL and running game have made me absolutely sick the last few years.

[@christianmathiesen5495]

Please. Do. This. Again.

[@isaacava920]

That’s such a good analysis on the next trend. The return of the cover 3/Cover 1 structure has been something I’ve been following for the last 5 years. The Seahawks pulled off a perfect balance of size and speed by having Pete Carroll’s signature beasts of size on defense. This defense originally reminded me of Pete’s 2007 defense from USC. Kam-Mays, Rey Maualuga-Bobby Wagner, KJ Wright-Kaluka Maiava, Clay Matthews- Bruce Irvin, Brian Cushing-Malcolm Smith. Kevin Thomas and Shareece Wright were not the typical 5’9 college corner back. They had bigger frames and were better tacklers then the other corners at the time. But I’m a falcons fan. And the hard part about watching my falcons is knowing that we’ve built a funky version of that Seattle defense. Our D-Line isn’t all that big and our backers are tiny. We love saying Keanu Neals the next Kam chancellor, but he’s just as vulnerable to getting run over as TJ Ward and Pat Chung. Yeah he’s going to get his big hits. But he’s not going to anchor on a left tackle and drop his ass like Kam. What worked for us during that 2016 season was the fact that our offense got up on teams QUICK. And it played perfectly into our defenses hands. Our team is built for 7-7. And when Kyle jumped the falcons into a big lead early, our defense would capitalize by creating sacks and turnovers. Last year Sarkisian didn’t understand that dynamic and it screwed up our defenses ability to create turnovers. We weren’t in games that allowed us to set the tackles on fire with our bad ass pass rushers. We were always in the tight games.

[@BrettKollmann]

I agree about Neal. He can run full speed and absolutely DETONATE someone in space like Kam...but he can't take on a block and set an edge like Kam. He's one of a kind.

[@isaacava920]

[@VisionsOfClarity]

keep it up dude!

[@zacharytroeller4441]

I feel like you could make a great video on C.J Mosley. The guy is used for pretty much everything by the Raven’s defensive scheme.

[@AaronMagnusonsgotswag]

Brett, you briefly hit on what you use to edit. Where do you actually get your NFL footage? Is it all just from Gamepass? If so how do you pull that into an editing software like Adobe? I loved this video!

[@BrettKollmann]

Yeah I screen capture it from GamePass

[@AaronMagnusonsgotswag]

Brett Kollmann love it! How do you get the rewind feature??

[@Alex-nh7cl]

Your point about networks NOT doing long-form analysis like what you described between Irvine and Sanders is, in my opinion, why networks like ESPN are going downhill.

[@alexmuehling2808]

Can you do a video on the Teddy Bridgewater situation with the Jets?

Hey. As a Packers fan and after releasing Nelson I was wondering if you could make a video about Adams and if he will be worth his new contract

[@jmic3016]

I was wondering what your thoughts were on the patriots draft selections. Do see Sony michel as worth a first? Are the defensive players drafted guys who can fix last years problems?

[@wisemantle8885]

Sony is going to be great. Athletic OL, passes behind the line, and watch him work in space with blockers in front. Ooooo.
