Falcons defensive end Dwight Freeney has been impressed with the play of defensive end/outside linebacker Vic Beasley, who has 9.5 sacks.

“Vic has been great,”Freeney said. “Vic is balling. He listened and he’s taken in a lot of the stuff that I’ve been telling him since training camp and it has sunk in. Now, you can see it.

“He’s balling and he’s going to be a force to reckoned with if he keeps on doing what he has to do. He’s finding plays and plays are finding him. It’s great to see it and hopefully he can continue on with that success.”
