FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Dan Quinn wanted to take an up-close look at Devonta Freeman as a receiver, so the Falcons coach tried to cover the running back on a deep pass route.The results: An easy touchdown for Freeman, and respect from Quinn.I think everybody who saw me covering, we were trying to make sure Devonta gets the catch to get his confidence heading into practice, Quinn said with a smile following Fridays second day of training camp.Freeman should already be confident about his dual-threat skills as a runner and receiver out of Atlantas backfield. His 73 catches in 2015 were the third-most for a running back in the league. He ran for 1,056 yards and 11 touchdowns.Freeman is the starter, but second-year running back Tevin Coleman appears bound for a larger share of the workload this season. Colemans speed could earn him more carries while also giving Matt Ryan another target as a receiver.Both those guys are capable of getting out of the backfield and catching the ball, Ryan said Friday. They both showed that last year. Devonta had more opportunities. ... I think Tevin is going to do the same.Coleman (6-1, 210) was a third-round pick in 2015 after rushing for more than 2,000 yards in his final season at Indiana. He ran the 40 in 4.39 seconds at his pro day before the draft but was slowed by hamstring and rib injuries as a rookie.Now Coleman is healthy and is eyeing new opportunities on kickoff returns and on offense.Im just excited Im going to play different roles in the game, Coleman said. Its a lot of expectation and Im doing that role as best as I can and just working my tail off to be as comfortable as I can back there and be all I can be.Quinn said it is best for the team to protect Freeman.We want to do whats best for the team, Quinn said. Giving it to him every snap may not be the best way for us to win ballgames. Could he do it? Is he tough enough? 100 percent. But for us to play at our best were going to feature both the guys at their strengths.Quinn now has a new appreciation of Freemans quickness in the open field.Its the quickness that makes him such a challenge to cover, Quinn said. He can break one way laterally and get to full speed really fast. The guys that can do that, it makes them the hardest to cover.Game notes WR Julio Jones was limited to individual drills after leaving Thursdays first practice with an undisclosed injury Quinn called a small tweak. Jones caught deep passes early in practice and ran with no apparent sign of an injury. Quinn said Jones should be cleared for full participation in the next day or so. ... The team will be in pads for the first time on Saturday. ... DE Efe Obada (6-5, 265), who is from London and was with Dallas for training camp in 2015, was signed as a possible project, according to Quinn. The team waived WR Daje Johnson.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Custom Padres Jersey China .

Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. Denmarks Thorbjorn Olesen set a new course record to take command of the Turkish Airlines Open as Danny Willetts hopes of becoming European No. 1 nosedived.Olesen fired eight birdies and an eagle in a superb 62 to reach the halfway stage of the ￡5.7 million event on 15 under par, six shots clear of Spains Adrian Otaegui and Thailands Thongchai Jaidee.With the Regnum Carya Golf Resort & Spa hosting the tournament for the first time, Otaeguis 63 had earlier eclipsed the course record established by first-round leader George Coetzee, who could only add a 73 to his opening 64.Willett, who needs to finish outright fifth or better to reclaim top spot in the Race to Dubai from Henrik Stenson, fared even worse with a 74 which left him 16 shots off the lead and in a tie for 58th in the 78-man field.Olesen was in contention for a Ryder Cup place after winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last year and making a strong start to this season, but had missed the cut in seven of his last 10 events before this week.The 26-year-old was invited to Hazeltine anyway by fellow Dane Thomas Bjorn, one of European captain Darren Clarkes vice-captains, and now has extra motivation to qualify for the team which will try to regain the trophy in Paris in 2018.It was a great experience, Olesen said. In the beginning it was a little bit difficult to be there when I had a pretty good chance in the summer to make the team, but I felt like I learned a lot being around the captain and all the vice-captains.One of my goals is to make the team and if I make it I will be more prepared and know a little bit of what Im going into.Its so different from any other tournament and I realised that when I got there. Its so much bigger than you think and I was standing on that first tee on Friday to see the atmosphere there and get a bit of that feeling.The crowd were really rough. Some of the stuff [shouted by fans] was very personal and I thought itt was hard for the players.dddddddddddd Im happy I saw that because thats how it going to be in America in the future as well.Germanys Martin Kaymer enjoyed a similar experience to Olesen at Valhalla in 2008 and famously went on to secure the point which retained the trophy at Medinah in 2012.I hope to be part of the team, Olesen added. Obviously holing the winning putt would be great, but as long as we win thats the most important thing. I think I can be there. If I keep playing well there is a good chance.Willetts Ryder Cup debut ended in disappointment after three defeats from three matches amid the furore caused by an article written by his brother Pete which criticised the behaviour of American fans.And the 29-year-old is also in danger of missing out on the Race to Dubai title for a second year in succession after failing to card a single birdie in his second round in Antalya.Masters champion Willett had led the money list since claiming his first major title at Augusta in April, but was overtaken by Stenson on Sunday after the Open champion was joint second in the WGC-HSBC Champions and Willett finished 75th in the 78-man field.That turned Stensons deficit of more than 400,000 points into a lead of 261,387 heading into the three events of the Final Series, with both men set to play in South Africa next week and the season finale in Dubai.Willett had been encouraged by an opening 69 and hit every fairway in regulation on the front nine on Friday, but failed to get up and down from just left of the sixth green and dropped further shots on the 16th and 18th.Willett refused to speak to reporters at the end of his second round, but later tweeted: Well this game is really kicking me in the nuts at the minute!! If its not one thing its another.. Haha.. #grinditout #TurkishAirlinesOpen ' ' '
