  Falcons | Prince Shembo may return to Atlanta    Thu Aug 13, 07:16 PM

Free-agent LB Prince Shembo (Falcons) has not been discussed as an option for the Atlanta Falcons, after having his animal cruelty case adjudicated. Head coach Dan Quinn said Thursday, Aug. 13, they'll likely discuss the possibility in the coming days, 'I'm sure that we will, but general manager Thomas (Dimitroff) and I have not gotten together on that, at this point,' Quinn said. "But I don't have a comment one way or another on that." Shembo cleared league waivers, and he is currently a free agent. The Falcons have two open roster spots.

  Falcons | Sean Weatherspoon ruptures Achilles'    Tue Jun 10, 09:02 PM

Atlanta Falcons LB Sean Weatherspoon (Achilles') suffered a ruptured Achilles' tendong Tuesday, June 10, and he will miss the 2014 season.

Footballguys view: This is a huge blow for the Falcons defense. Weatherspoon was recovering from the knee injury that knocked him out of nine games last year. Overall, Weatherspoon has missed 12 games over the last two seasons. The Falcons will be in scramble mode without Weatherspoon. We'll see rookie Prince Shembo get a larger role now. The Falcons are going to have a tough time stopping anybody, and that's good news for their offense. They'll have to win plenty of high-scoring games in 2014.

  Falcons | Prince Shembo moved inside    Fri Jun 6, 08:38 PM

Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan said the team has moved LB Prince Shembo from outside linebacker to inside linebacker.

Footballguys view: Shembo has edge rushing skills, but the Falcons see him as a better fit inside, which probably spells a higher fantasy ceiling in IDP leagues.

  Falcons | Five draft picks signed    Sun May 18, 02:55 PM

The Atlanta Falcons have signed CB Ricardo Allen and LBs Prince Shembo, Marquis Spruill, Tyler Starr and Yawin Smallwood. Terms of the agreements were undisclosed.

Footballguys view: We like what the Falcons did in the draft. Allen is a smaller cornerback with the ball skills to be a quality nickel player. Shembo is a lunch-pail worker who gets by on heart and determination. Spruill is a rangy linebacker who has a nose for the ball. Starr is an athletic linebacker who can make plays as a pass-rusher from the edge. Smallwood is a smart inside linebacker who is a sound tackler.

  NFL | Prince Shembo had been investigated for sexual assault    Sun Feb 23, 06:45 PM

Former Notre Dame LB Prince Shembo told reporters at the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine that he was investigated for the sexual assault of a St. Mary's College student in 2010. Lizzy Seeberg reported Sept. 6, 2010 that she was inappropriately touched by a Notre Dame football player on Aug. 31, 2010. Shembo wasn't charged in connection to the alleged assault and maintains his innocence. Seeberg committed suicide four days after reporting the supposed attack. Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly told Shembo not to speak of the situation, according to the linebacker.
