Harrison Smith

Jay Ward, like these are not burners.

Harrison Smith is 37 years old.

Josh Metellus is more of a hybrid linebacker slash safety.

So he plays up in the box a lot.

I'm saying these specific people who are in that locker room, this is it.

Harrison Smith knows that.

Kyle Van Noy knows that.

Even a guy like Blake Cashman, contract year, knows that.

They've developed him.

Also, they have one of the smartest players I think that I've ever covered for sure is probably of the last 25 years in Harrison Smith, who plays such a huge, huge role in all of the pre-snap adjustments.

So what this team can do is they have so many high IQ players who are so familiar with the scheme is they can get to the line of scrimmage, change the play call, change the coverage, change who's rushing.

And they can even change these things after the snap based on what they see.

He just hoovers up space around the middle of the field in short areas.

I think Harrison Smith, interestingly...

Now, I can't speak for how big of a leader he is on the team, how instrumental he is as a veteran on the team, but he's probably been their weakest player at the minute now.

That will not get covered because, you know, he got a 40th reception and whatnot.

Like, that was a big moment, but...

he hasn't really he he feels to me like the weak point in this team which is something we never thought we'd say harrison smith the weak point on the vikings defense but and look he's a legendary hall of fame player but uh i think leave the football before the football leaves you as they say and not sure the football might have left him

jason the buffalo bill is going against his defense

Yeah, I mean, yeah, you're dead right there.

And then also just the defense just, like you said, been blitzing forever.

Got Harrison Smith still there, who's been playing since, shoot, I think I wasn't playing.

It's just another great team.

They're doing really well.
