Kemal Ishmael showed flashes of brilliance in 2014, but hasn’t done much in 2015. Ishmael is the Falcons’ second string strong safety and has managed seven tackles on the year. Nothing has really jumped out at me on the way he has played in 2015. Sure, he likely has taken some bad angles with his lack of speed, but his hard-hitting style of play makes up for it. So far, it’s been a quite year for him.
