Falcons lose safety for season, breaking incredible streak
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 28, 2010, 4:12 PM EST
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.

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.
