For
Rob Quinn, this new defense, his new position
IS the best position of all worlds for him to burst back onto the NFL scene. If
not now, it will never happen.
In case you been living under a rock since the end of the 2014 season
RQ has faded away from his Pro Bowl seasons into a sideline gazer. Luck would have it that Snead was able to secure veteran
former Wade All Pro
Conner Barwin to operate full-time one of two Edge Rushing Ends (ERE's). Then in another struck of luck,what was a WWC former 43 DE named
Matt Longacre has come out of nowhere & proven to be a more than solid well rounded ERE in TC & pre season.
ML has
developed a strong ability to set the edge in the run defense game in pre season. Both
ML &
CB can play both strong & weak sides.
RQ has been seen practicing some but has yet to make an appearance in pre season so none of us has seen the newly reconstructed edge rusher perform in real game action.
Here's what has happened since the end of the 2014 season:
RQ Quinn tweaked his knee in Week 5 of 2015 & then missed his 1st game due to that injured knee. From that point on his snaps dropped dramatically the knee did not get better then he injured his hip & then his back gave out & he was placed on
IR. from the point in which he was injured he had only 1 sack for the rest of the season.
RQ had surgery on his back in Jan 2016.
RQ's 2016 TC & pre season began like 2017 did.
RQ was held out & made a quick cameo appearance in the 3rd pre season game & very quickly departed. Fisher said they were not going to rush him back...sound familiar? RQ started the regular season & looked good played in 4 gms & had 2 sacks & 2 FF's before an injured shoulder took him to the locker room. It was a month before he started another Ram gm. On November 14th,2016
RQ admitted himself to the hospital. He was held out due to a mystery illness that dragged on then turned into a Concussion?? By wk#15
RQ was placed on
IR said due to a Concussion:notsure:?
2017 Things we said to be good for RQ until on June 13th when
RQ was spotted with his right hand in a cast. it was then revealed
RQ's recovered from the hand surgery that sidelined him during OTAs.

RQ sure has taken the heat off of Rodger Saffold "made of glass" remarks. How many of us are holding our breaths here in Rob Quinn?:huh:
