"You've just got to keep grinding," Freeney said.
Nobody was more frustrated by the Palmer miss than Hughes. But Freeney, the Colts' all-time sack leader
with 94 in nine years, doesn't recall whom he sacked the first time.
"I think it was against Tennessee. It might have been against (Steve) McNair," he said.
Actually, it was at Houston against David Carr in Freeney's third career game. McNair wasn't a bad guess,
though. Freeney sacked Carr and McNair the most at seven times apiece.
Mathis said he sees a change in what has been a more-excited Hughes.
"In the end, this is the NFL and we're all pros," Mathis said. "Everybody was that guy in college. Despite
draft placement, you've got to come in and show what you've got. You just can't get by on the past. He's
doing that now."
Freeney and Mathis continually remind Hughes to work a move and always go full speed.
Hughes eagerly awaits his next chance to get that first sack. If or when it happens, he rationalizes it will be
long overdue.
"No celebration needed," he said. "Take it, and keep on moving to the next one."
