Well, sure. I wasn't denigrating Quinn...but Donald is held more than any defensive player than I have every seen and that is not stopping him from insane production. Quinn was really good, but Donald is otherworldy.
Are you kidding me? It's an inside joke about holding the Olinemen can get away with and it ahappens almost every play with AD. You saw it with Quinn also, but he did not get held more than Donald. That's absurd.dbrock said it first & then yourself. I’ll disagree on the holding calls with AD.He does get held for sure. I’d say Robert Quinn’s were very obvious & it would totally take him out of the play.
I hate Cop-Outs!! Just going to look at GBay game.IMO he list that game.Are you kidding me? It's an inside joke about holding the Olinemen can get away with and it ahappens almost every play with AD. You saw it with Quinn also, but he did not get held more than Donald. That's absurd.
As far as being taken out of the play by the holding, that shows AD's superiority to Quinn and shouldn't be used an excuse as to magnify holding calls against Quinn. AD is on another stratosphere as far as durability goes...
Yeah, I hate excuses too. Donald doesn't need them, he just performs.I hate Cop-Outs!! Just going to look at GBay game.IMO he list that game.
1.double team - over poay
2.DT - nothing quick pass right side
3.puts hands on OG shoulders,9yard run
4.came up on LG hands tight.separation & if a hold?There is no hold.Hands are inside,2 feet apart & RB goes by a weak attempt of his short arms reach.3 yrd run & 1stdwn.
5.slips off the ball.Left DT spot.right hand slap to OG’s helmet.pass offf.12yrd pass.

Maybe 1 hold that would never get called even if it was John Sullivan.
The one's I wish they would call are the ones where Donald is held from behind.2nd drive
1.LDT/DE -puts head down,SJD makes play.
2.RDt/DE. Run on right side .3-1.nothing
3.nothing. Ran r,.ight at him 1st dwn.Can’t even give true effort.
4.play action,.protecting run,but you could say got held.SJD putting pressure on.AD was playing NT/LDT.
My point is mute -/Aaron Donald is an amazing player, and as of now a 1st. Ballot HOF player.Just not big on excuses.
Robert Quinn had 1 season where I thought he was going to be one of the Best DE edge rushers ever.He got injured & somethings in his Life went down ?? He takes a Stance against The USA & his sister ate crap on a hurdle so she didn’t make it to the Olympics.
He has always been a class player & a solid Ram player.I personally think chewing tobacco is not a thing I like in NFL players.Quinn & Goff are gone.I liked what Michael Brockers did in a Rams uniform & hope there teams beat Green Bay in 2021.
Aaron Donald works so hard & looking to enjoy his leadership. Floyd is showing ownership on Defense .
Matthew Stafford is a Player I respect & glad is a Ram as well.
RAMSey over JJ leading the DB’s.
—Holding calls is another thing.I think the rule of thumb as a Offensive Lineman is as long as your hands are kept inside your body it’s okay.Just as long as you let go without being obsessive.-I actually like the way holding is called or not called.
—I hate when a DE/OLB/DT ?? Whoever beats the OLman & the hands/arms come around the player.
An example is a 6’6 310 guy on the outside vs a 258 guy.There arms & weight just make it unfair when they get beat. That is why having a guy like Stafford vs. Goff will make a difference. Stepping up & around the pass rush while seeing the field should make a huge difference.
I look at Havenstien as an example of using his arms & size without holding. In basketball there is a physical thing of bigs vs smalls & what is a foul/violation? IMO AD does not get held all the time.He does get his calls on average.
I’d say AD gets double teamed & account for WAY more than Quinn. With Quinn you could always put a RB & step up as a QB or screen ? Block him or run at him.He was not a good run defender.
To be fair Donald is much closer to the qb than Quinn was so being held and taken out of the play by illegal hoods are more obvious then a pile of bodies in the middle. Not to mention the way the pocket collapses forces the qbs to move inside. So if Quinn is being held around his back and neck then it’s easier for the QB to step out this having Quinn being out of the playAre you kidding me?

Donald may be closer, but he has to beat the tightly compacted big uglies in front of him, who can hold him inside making it harder for Refs to see it. Quinn had to beat the LT and maybe a RB or TE, if they doubled him. Donald has to be doubled or the QB is gonna get killed every time until they do....or almost every time.To be fair Donald is much closer to the qb than Quinn was so being held and taken out of the play by illegal hoods are more obvious then a pile of bodies in the middle.

Best defensive player in The NFL the last 5 seasons if not the 10.JJ Watt had a good run 10 years ago.Hope he doesn’t show up in Arizona.Yeah, I hate excuses too. Donald doesn't need them, he just performs.
