Falcons to give Ricardo Allen, Kemal Ishmael a shot at free safety

We now know how the Falcons are planning to clear up the logjam at cornerback, and it's not with a player we anticipated.

The Falcons are trying a few position switches out right now, with Dezmen Southward at cornerback serving as the most prominent example. Now it looks like Ricardo Allen might be going the other way.

Quinn says Charles Godfrey, Kemal Ishmael and Ricardo Allen are all in line at the free safety position.

Ishmael clearly has some work to do in deep coverage, but he was an impressively physical player who flashed the ability to get his hands on the football last year.
