Did any one notice the Quin struggles on the run game? He overshoots that gap control or is out of position.
I must disagree. Quinn was one of the NFL's best run defending 4-3 DEs last year. The Vikings just called plays that kept us on our toes. Lets not ignore the fact that we held Peterson to 75 yards and less than 4 yards per carry. It was Patterson that killed us and as I recall, all three were run to the opposite side of the field...probably because Quinn is excellent at blowing those plays up.
jrry32 it seemed today he was out of place today and the whole team in general missed tackles.
Exactly right. Quinn's job is to penetrate and blow up whoever has the ball (or is about to get the ball). Like @jrry32 said, he was actually quite good against the run last year, and is elite in back-side pursuit. I wouldn't let this one game cloud your vision about Quinn. He's the absolute least of our worries. I'd also venture to guess that Williams' head has already spun around 360 degrees 14 times, so everyone is going to be made aware of where they need to improve.They did have Sims at RDE on first down a few times today but Quinn's run D doesn't bug me at all. That's probably the best down to get him a breather
Exactly and Patterson touchdown run was on the side Long normally would have been on but he was hurt and not playing. If he was playing I doubt that touchdown run would have happenedI must disagree.

last year he had 12 tackles for losses plus his 19 sacks . . . he's a good run defender.Did any one notice the Quin struggles on the run game? He overshoots that gap control or is out of position.
I'd say he's one of the best 4-3 DEs in the NFL at stopping the run.He's a solid run defender...not great....he doesn't have to be...that's what the rest of the team is for...Run-stuffing support
What I noticed most today was that he was being held on almost every play and there where no calls that I can remember even with a flag happy crew. The TD at the en of the fisrt half the tckle had his right arm around Quinn's neck it was obvious on the replay. They held Petterson in check all day and I thought Quinn was a big part of that.

And I believe those runs, away from Quinn, to Chris Long's side, were after Long was out-of-the-game, and the Viks were Taking advantage of the weakened left side of the D!!I must disagree.
