Quinn did have impact the last five weeks of the season. But despite that, Longacre got more sacks relative to his snaps than Quinn did for the year
I agree that Quinn improved. That strongly suggests he picked up his game at the end, possibly because he was finally over an injury or done with recovering from one (which is slightly different).
That means, to me, that you have to divide his season in 2. There's a Before and an After. Meaning, his sack percentage improved in those last games.
RQ missed a game and then did not really play in the SF game (8 snaps). He played in the Atlanta playoff game. His last 4 regular season starts plus the playoff game is 5 starts obviously. In the previous 11 regular season games he had 10 starts.
If you take the last 5, it's 271 defensive snaps total, with 6 sacks. In the first 10 starts, it's 422 snaps and 3.5 sacks.
Sack percentage
First 10 starts: 0.83%
Last 5 starts: 2.2%
If he were at 2.2% all year, counting the playoff game and subtracting both the missed regular season game and the SF game, that would be calculated out of 693 snaps. 2.2% of that would be 15 sacks for the season.
In contrast, Longacre had 5.5 sacks out of 377 snaps, and that's a sack percentage of 1.45%
