Even when Quinn doesn't get a sack the pressure he creates from the outside is huge. Add that to the pressure Donald brings from the interior and the opposing QB has to get the ball out quick. I thought Palmer played a great game considering he was under pressure all game long. As soon as Quinn was out the pass rush was not the same. Don't really get the negatively I see against Quinn on this board lately.
When you post factual information is that putting negativity on the player? Quinn does produce pressure from his post but he was also manhandled in the run game which is also an important element of his duties. Do we just ignore the other parts of his duties.
Now onto what happens to the pressure when Quinn departs? Who is the DE who replaces Quinn that causes the pass rush to
not be as effective? That would be RDE Eugene Sims. Sims does hold up at times better than Quinn against some outside runs. I was sure I heard something close to your comment above on trashing Sims after posts by members here who were very upset with Eugene Sims & said so & were critical of Sims actions last week when he was ejected early along with the Hayes injury making the Rams DL very short of personnel.
Now, is that throwing out negativity against both our RDE's here in this forum? Might these comments be factual comments & very close to the full truth? Not much
to get here on my comments on Rob Quinn who just happens to be our
highest paid player who is a starter & finished a major divisional game where he had Zero tackles Zero assist, Zero sacks.
Yes Quinn produces pressure & hurries & a few hits but it was not a good overall game for him in spite what PPF says when you acknowledge that Quinn had an aged very immobile stationary QB in the pocket all game long...... Yes the Rams did take Carson out in the 4th quarter. Rob Quinn is seriously vital to this defense. When Quinn has an off game it will cause big issues for Gregg Williams defense. Back before the season opened in July I had Rob Quinn's return to full health as my #1 concern for this defense, that should tell you just how I view Rob's importance as a Ram player.
