Robert Quinn Shines on Defense

During his six seasons with the Rams, Robert Quinn has always been one of the key factors behind the success of the defense. Even though he only recorded five sacks in 2015, Los Angeles realized they would need a big season from the defensive end.

After Sunday’s game against Seattle, all signs point to Quinn being a big part of this defense once again.

Los Angeles couldn’t have asked for a better performance from Quinn after he recorded a sack and forced fumble on Russell Wilson towards the end of the first half. If Quinn can find a way to stay consistent with performances like this one, there’s every reason to believe the defensive end will record double-digit sacks for the fourth time in his career.

With all of the concerns on offense, the defense was the main reason behind the Rams finishing with a 7-9 record last year, and whether this team manages to compete in the division will be determined by them. Quinn taking advantage of Seattle’s weak offensive line along with a quarterback in Wilson dealing with an ankle injury is just what Los Angeles needed to see from their defensive star.
