Dan Quinn spent five-plus seasons as the head instructor of the Atlanta Falcons. Currently the Dallas Cowboys protective coordinator, Quinn's team invested Sunday missing a season-high 14 tackles in a loss to the Denver Broncos.
It's those missed deals with and also the various other operate at hand for the Cowboys protection that Quinn wishes to focus on in the week ahead instead of the with his previous group.
"Well, I assume, No. 1, I have terrific memories for there and I always will. I think a lot of the truly awesome things we completed there as well as there were a great deal of them versus how it finished. And I believe that's a vital declaration. I absolutely be permanently happy to [Falcons owner] Arthur [Space] to provide me the chance there and also to all the players I had the opportunity to instructor," Quinn said throughout Monday's news conference. "But you individuals saw the efficiency the other day, so there isn't no time at all to take a stroll down memory lane, like we obtained some s-- to repair. I'll be right where my feet are, appropriate where I'm expected to be, pursuing it as difficult as we can, fretting about the jackets I train now."
Dallas had a six-game winning streak snapped on Sunday in a to Denver, with those 30 factors standing as the most the defense has actually surrendered because a to the Buccaneers. The Cowboys had absolutely no takeaways and allowed 407 lawns of crime to the Broncos, who scored the video game's first 30 points.
It was barely a revealing typical of Quinn's job until now in turning around a Dallas protection that was absurd last season and also entered Week 9 as the No. 19 protection total as well as No. 16 racking up protection. Neither of those rankings are excellent, but renovations from a period ago have been plentiful, and also the group was coming off a over the Vikings in which the Cowboys protection gave up a season-low 16 factors.
So, there is job to be done if Quinn and Co. want to hold back his old Falcons team, which is coming off an of the Saints.
Hence, Quinn is steadfast in looking ahead as well as not looking negative. It's a strategy he's taken for quite time.
"I did that. I did that. And when I started here, I began fresh once more," Quinn claimed.
Quinn put together a 43-42 document during his time with the Falcons, which was highlighted by a run to Super Dish LI which complied with back-to-back 7-9 projects.
Now, Quinn has been a driving force in the Cowboys realizing their possible until now this season with a 6-2 start. And also when the Cowboys want to recover at home on Sunday versus the Falcons, Quinn will discover himself right where he thinks he's suggested to be.
"This is my team, this is that I'm with. This is my team," Quinn stated. "Like I said, I will certainly always think about the memories, but I'm ideal where I'm meant to be."
