There was a video about Quinn being most effective coming out of a 3 point stance ... like when the D is in nickel, and as Remy pointed out, that is 75% of the time.

If the Front 5-ish stay healthy on D, we are gonna see a marked improvement over last year, including turnovers.
Pressure causes turnovers plain and simple.

Pretty obvious, speed rush to make the QB step up into Mack and Hicks.

How to use Quinn? The guy had a 19 sack season with the Rams and is coming off an 11.5 sack season.

Send him after the QB. Don't overthink this. Just let him generate pressure and ideally make it tougher to double team Mack.

How to use him? See quarterback. get quarterback. I noticed last year, Bears would often sub in 3 D linemen and Mack. I expect this year will be different. Mack, Quinn & 2 D line men.

Floyd and Quinn have different skill sets. Do you see us adjusting the scheme to fit the personal. Can Quinn cover? Will be be asked to? Who is gonna pick up the coverage duties of Floyd? What is the best way to use Quinn, we did not bring him here to drop in coverage. My question... How do we adjust things.

We're going to play nickel 70% of the time I think.

With Roquan and Trevathan behind hicks and Goldman you can play the run sufficiently without a 3rd linebacker in coverage.

My biggest concern about Quinn is grass.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe he only has 13 career sacks on grass.

Then why in the hell did he choose to come here? Didn't he flip a coin or some such?
