FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn, a college defensive lineman back in his day, knew a thing or two about rushing the passer from his playing experience.

But Quinn would be the first to tell you how much more of an education he received about pass-rushing from one of his former players. Quinn was the defensive line coach for the Miami Dolphins in 2005 and 2006 and had the opportunity to work with Jason Taylor.

Taylor will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame on Saturday.

"He had a move called the long arm," Quinn said of Taylor.
