ATLANTA -- Dwight Freeney could hardly wait to get inside the Falcons complex and meet his new team.The NFLs No. 4 active leader in sacks arrived Thursday after passing his physical and signing a one-year contract.For the last few years now Ive always looked at this team as having a lot of potential to do some great things, Freeney said. They have a lot of talent, definitely offensively and defensively were getting together now.Atlanta hasnt had a marquee pass rusher since John Abraham left as a free agent after the 2012 season.Second-year coach Dan Quinn called Freeney a few weeks ago to gauge his interest. Quinn saw Freeney as a missing piece, a 15-year veteran who still causes matchup problems.The Falcons had the NFLs fewest sacks last season, the second-fewest in 2014 and fourth-fewest in 2013.I know last year they werent too good at it, Freeney said. Thats not all I do, but its something Im known for. Im going to try to affect the quarterback as much as possible and help this team as much as possible.Quinn said Freeney wont practice until Sunday or Monday to allow him to get adjusted to the new environment.Quinn, who helped build a Super Bowl defense with Seattle, has made the defensive line his biggest overhaul project during the offseason.Vic Beasley, the No. 8 overall draft pick last year, has an expanded role, lining up as an outside linebacker in the base 4-3 scheme and as an edge rusher in nickel packages.Freeney will play opposite Beasley when the Falcons use their nickel packages. Derrick Shelby, Adrian Clayborn and Tyson Jackson will take turns at end in the base scheme.Quinn watched film of every snap Freeney took last season for Arizona and decided he was a perfect complementary fit for Atlanta.It didnt take long to see there were some really good games where he affected guys, Quinn said. He looked explosive, and the will for him to go for it is there. Thats why its a good situation for him and us.Freeney, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, is likely to be used between 15-20 snaps a game. That seems like the proper workload, though Freeney insists he can always do a little extra.Its up to them, he said. I love to play. Im one of those guys that youll have to pull me off the field. Im going to help out however possible in whatever situation that is, so if its 18 snaps, its 18 snaps.If its 30 snaps, its 30 snaps. If its 45-50, theyre going to have to give me an IV, but Ill still go out there and play.Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff knows Freeney wont be asked to do too much. At 36 years old, he can be most effective if used at intervals.Dwight can still get up and around the corner, Dimitroff said. He has the ability to spin, as we all know. His patented spin move is special. Were hoping that he can add to our repertoire of getting up field.Freeney will wear jersey No. 93 after negotiating with backup end Malliciah Goodman, who switched to No. 54. Freeney wore No. 93 during 11 years with Indianapolis and two with San Diego.Freeney wore 54 at Arizona, the jersey number he had at Syracuse.---AP NFL online: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Zach Parise Jersey . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. Ryan Suter Jersey . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. http://www.wildjerseyscheap.com/?tag=jared-spurgeon-jersey . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two. Devan Dubnyk Jersey . Hamelin, who triumphed in the 500 on Saturday, edged out Victor An of Russia by 0.021 seconds to maintain his lead in the World Cup standings. Russias Vladimir Grigorev was third. In the relay, Canada took control six laps from the finish line to beat Russia and the Netherlands. Eric Staal Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. The concept is simple enough, but the task is far from easy as No. 6 Wisconsin continues pursuit of a Big Ten title and a College Football Playoff berth when it visits Purdue on Saturday (noon ET, ABC) in West Lafayette, Ind.The Badgers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) are No. 7 in the CFP rankings, but the first step is winning the conferences West Division title. They would do so with victories over the Boilermakers on Saturday and Minnesota on Nov. 26.Next would be the Big Ten championship game Dec. 3 in Indianapolis and a matchup with Michigan (No. 2 in the CFP rankings), Ohio State (No. 3) or Penn State (No. 8). The CFP committee would be hard-pressed to leave out an 11-2 Wisconsin team, especially if it were to atone for one of its regular-season losses to the Wolverines or Buckeyes and own a seven-game winning streak at that point.The Badgers benefited from Clemson, Michigan and Washington -- then the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 teams in the CFP rankings -- losing last week, but Wisconsin senior running back Dare Ogunbowale said: Even if those teams won, we know that if we take care of what we have to take care of, we can be in a good situation.Weve been doing a good job and coach (Paul) Chryst has been doing a good job of making sure that we stay focused week to week and being in the moment and not worrying about the past or the future.The task at hand Saturday is facing the Boilermakers, and the Badgers are heavily favored to defeat them for the 11th consecutive time.Purdue (3-7, 1-6) absorbed its fifth straight loss last week -- a 45-17 thrashing by Northwestern -- and is 0-4 since interim coach Gerad Parker took over for Darrell Hazell, who was fired Oct. 16 after a 49-35 loss to Iowa.Wisconsin appears to have a decided edge in the running game. The Boilermakers own the second-worst rush defense in the Big Ten, while the Badgers gained a season-high 363 yards on the ground in a 48-3 victory over Illinois last week.Leading the way for Wisconsin was senior Corey Clement (928 yards, 10 touchdowns this season), who rushed for 123 yards and three scores. Ogunbowale added 103 yards.Freshman Alex Hornibrook (seven touchdowns, seven interceptions)) and senior Bart Houston (four, three) share the duties at quarterback and arent asked to do much since Wisconsins winning formula is dominated by running the ball and defense.dddddddddddd.The Badgers own the No. 5 rushing defense in the nation and also possess ballhawks in junior safety DCota Dixon (team-high four interceptions) and senior safety Leo Musso, who recorded two of Wisconsins four interceptions last week. Musso and junior cornerback Derrick Tindal each have three picks on the season.Leos meant a tremendous amount to this defense, Badgers senior linebacker Vince Biegel said. Hes a great leader both on and off the field. Hes a good person. Hes a leader in the defensive back room, and its nice as a defensive player, as a front seven guy, to have a guy like that behind you to have your back.Tindal and senior cornerback Sojourn Shelton have 13 passes defended apiece, tied for 11th in the country.Teams that turn the ball over or get turnovers have a lot to do with the win and loss outcomes, Shelton said. Our whole thing in our room is just being stingy. If you give us a chance, were going to run with it.Sophomore quarterback David Blough (21 touchdowns, 16 interceptions) needs 79 yards to record the 12th 3,000-yard season in Purdue history. His favorite target is senior wide receiver DeAngelo Yancey, who averages 19.4 yards per 37 receptions with seven touchdowns.Parker, who was elevated from wide receivers coach, vows to turn things around after the Boilermakers allowed 151 points in their past three games -- 97 after intermission.We certainly are not excited or happy with the results of the second half again, Parker said after the Northwestern game. Right now that is on my watch, and I know the fans are not excited about it. Nobody will take it more personal than I will.This is not what the Purdue football program should be, and we certainly have not gotten it done in our own stadium. Its something that will continue to be addressed by me, and we will find ways to finish this thing out.
