off the net from LMU93

Quinn’s presence makes a difference. The Rams are 8-9 (.471) in games Quinn has played the past two seasons. And 3-12 (.200) in games he hasn’t. Like Donald, he makes the entire defense better when he’s in there.

I know next to nothing about Wade Phillips’ defensive schemes (other than they’re good…) but I think they’ll find a good role for Quinn. Maybe as a two-point stance edge rusher. The key is keeping him healthy.

I think he could definitely bounce back. They shut him down late in the season, he’s not dealing with a surgery or rehab (like last offseason), and he’s not even yet 27 years old.

But I do think when we talk about players on “prove it” years in 2017 that he’s one of them. It will be interesting to see how Phillips uses him. He’s a great athlete and versatile.

Rams would save $11.44M against the cap in 2018 if they released him a year from now.

Yeah, and that doesnt even take into account games he played in and was HEALTHY.

He’s a dynamic QB-wrecking, force — when healthy.

There are two things in the world that i know about and post about monotonously and endlessly — the Corporotacracy and Robert Quinn. Both are relentless terminators.

I always thought they could do ok on defense over time if anyone was injured — except for Donald and Quinn.

If I’m wade phillips i ask the new coach for one more pass rusher, to add to Donald and Quinn. Add one more. That would be my priority. Not the secondary.

I would prioritize DE over the secondary as well. Shave a couple of tenths of a second off pass plays on average, and you get more sacks, turnovers, and incompletions.

i said it last year, but a healthy quinn would make all the difference. as it was, the rams were ranked 9th with quinn in and out of the lineup. i can only imagine how good this defense could be with a dominating quinn.

draft another outside linebacker to go along with quinn as a standup defensive end. i think this front seven could be truly special.

Well i dont think the front seven is anything special but i think a healthy Q is special and i think Donald is special. The rest of em? Not so special in my view. I thought they were gonna be special last year, but I’ve seen enough now to change my view. I think they got two special players and some ‘other guys’.

But another pass rusher is coming, I’m sure. They need one.
