I think you can put a fork in this one: Quinn is done. Once the back injury bug hits, you almost never come back. Remember that goof Kyle Turley? Anyway, Quinn talks a good game (not a criticism, I think his heart is in it) but I would be very surprised if his body lets him live up to his hype. We are wasting big cap $$$ on a guy who can't bring it anymore. Hope I'm wrong, but back injuries are unforgiving. Just ask Marshawn Lynch who had to take a year off and is still a shell of his former self.

He is seemingly taking a lot of snaps off this Training Camp. I agree with Elvis and I think it's more of a precautionary strategy with him rather than a recovery strategy. I also agree that we will probably never see the 2014 Quinn again and his time as a Ram IS probably numbered but I think he still has the opportunity to have an impactful season.

I think he will be a rotational OLB and used as a pass rusher almost exclusively. We need to watch the depth behind him at OLB to see what we have there.

How do you think Quinn is going to respond when the live bullets start flying? A guy who is indecisive almost always spells a injury waiting to happen.

Personally, I would rather see how he holds up now and have a backup plan in place in case he physically can not perform.

Time to take the bubble wrap off and get him used to some live hitting.

Well said. Especially considering he is playing a new position.

Good to see you posting man

I agree to a point but I think the silver lining is that because he isn't playing, the younger guys are getting all of the reps now that he would be taking. So would you rather have Quinn going hard in practice only to get hurt early in the season and then see what our young guys have or limit him in the preseason, get these guys valuable reps with 1st team and have know you have a plan B in case Quinn does indeed go down.

I can see it both ways but am generally OK with the way they are handling it. Quinn is a veteran and I am not too worried about him adjusting to game speed.

To me it is not about game speed. It is about knowing his assignments without thinking and being in unison with the rest of the defense.

If Quinns sole responsibilty is "see ball, get ball" then yeah, I can see him getting by with limited reps. For some reason I believe his new position as a OLB entails more than that.

I guess he believes he can get by watching YouTube videos of Von Miller on his Microsoft Surface.

[HopHead Ram]

He is more Ware than Miller and Ware was mainly a see ball get ball kind of guy.

I wouldn't read too much into it. Quinn is an established vet. He's proven he can play. No point in risking anything by having him go all out during practice. He's done it enough to know when to flip the switch. If he's lost something due to the injuries, it won't make a difference if he practices or not. Better to keep him fresher.

Ahhhh yeah, the old "flip the switch" adage.

Quinn must have tripped a breaker because the lights haven't come on in years.
