Falcons lose safety for season, breaking incredible streak

The Falcons lost to the Saints Monday night and also lost rookie safety Shann Schillinger for the season, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

As injuries go, this shouldn’t be devastating. Schillinger was a sixth-round pick that helped on special teams.

Still, the Falcons aren’t used to losing any players. Brian McIntyre of Mac’s Football Blog notes that the Falcons haven’t made a single transaction since September 21.

That is a truly incredible streak, and helps provide one clue why the team has played so well this year.

I didn't even know he was hurt. WHat happened?

He is a very good ST player and will be a contributer next year as a Safety. Very smart player.

I was wondering why we brought Bush up to the 53.

He ran a 4.44 40 and had a 37" vertical and played safety - is a very good tackler - and had a few TDs on his resume.



I think he'll be able to cover kicks.
