"So many are a blur in Dwight Freeney's mind. One sack after another after another.

They're like their creator. He can be a vapor trail at the snap of the football, empty air to an offensive tackle left to deal with the Indianapolis Colts' whirling dervish of a defensive end bearing down on the next quarterback.

Ask Freeney about the first of his 981/2 career sacks and his eyes widen as he flips through the Rolodex in his mind.

Wasn't it against the Tennessee Titans and Steve McNair, he wondered? Nope. Houston Texans and David Carr."
