Dan Quinn: Damontae Kazee, Jordan Richards will start at safety for now

The Atlanta Falcons have endured a nightmarish doomsday scenario at the safety spot in 2018, with FS Ricardo Allen and SS Keanu Neal both now on IR.

The once-excellent depth will now be thrust into the starting spotlight, if Dan Quinn’s Monday presser holds true.

Damontae Kazee will take over for Ricardo Allen at FS. Dan Quinn says Keith Tandy and Kemal Ishmael will back-up Jordan Richards at SS.

So, the plan now is for FS Damontae Kazee and SS Jordan Richards to man the safety spots, and for newly-acquired SS Keith Tandy and former safety-turned-linebacker Kemal Ishmael to slot in behind Richards.
