FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- In his second season, Julio Jones had more than 1,000 yards receiving, reached the Pro Bowl and scored two touchdowns in the NFC championship game. So what part of his game is he looking to build on in Year 3? "All around," he said. "The coaches are doing a good job with me, just moving me around, putting me in spaces to make plays -- in the backfield, in the slot, out wide, whatever the case may be, depending on who we are playing." Getting the ball to Jones will be a priority for the Falcons, who fell just shy of the Super Bowl last season and have as talented a group of skill-position players as any team in the NFC. Jones, Matt Ryan, Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez and free agent acquisition Stephen Jackson have a combined 23 Pro Bowls. In the preseason, however, those five players have not played together, and none are expected to see the field on Thursday against the Jaguars. Jones missed the first preseason game with hamstring issues, and White hurt his ankle early in the second preseason game. Gonzalez missed all of training camp and the first two preseason games to spend time with his family, leaving the receiving group in flux in the preseason. But this is the third season White, Jones, Gonzalez and third receiver Harry Douglas have been catching passes from Ryan, so the chemistry should be there once the season starts against the Saints on Sept. 8. "Its really not that hard," Jones said. "I just go out and do my thing. Everybody is moving around and learning the offence. We dont want the defence to be able to key on one guy." Jones feels playing only parts of two preseason games, assuming he sits out Thursday, is sufficient to prepare him for the season. "It is enough. The coaches do a great job coming out here and getting our conditioning in," Jones said. "However much work the coaches feel like we need to get ready, thats what well do." Much has been expected of Jones since the Falcons traded five draft picks for the right to select him with the sixth overall pick in the 2011 draft. The deal was a good one for the Falcons, as Jones has progressed from 54 catches as a rookie to 79 last season. In the NFC championship game, Jones had 11 catches and a career-high 182 yards in addition to his two touchdowns against the 49ers. That game ended in a 28-24 loss, and the Falcons are ready to get 2013 started. But Jones stuck to the script on Tuesday, saying you cannot look to the regular season until the preseason is over. "NFL is one game at a time," he said. "You can never look forward, because thats how you get beat. You dont want to start that habit."

Michalek scored his second goal of the game and 10th of the season with 23 second left as Ottawa defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Thursday. "We believe theres still lots of goals left in Milan, but its taken a long time to get them out this year," Senators coach Paul MacLean said. "With his work ethic and his play without the puck and his abilities on the penalty kill, theres never been a question about his contributions to the team. "We knew if he would just stay with it good things would happen for him." The Sabres had fought back to tie the game with two third-period goals, but Senators captain Jason Spezza found Michalek, who beat Jhonas Enroth over the shoulder for the winner. "Its all about winning and were not doing that right now," said Sabres defenceman Henrik Tallinder, who said the puck hit the referee and went right to Spezza on the winning goal. "Nothing you can do about it. We didnt go the right way that maybe we should have, but it hit the ref and bounces are going to happen but they just werent in our favour." Erik Karlsson also scored for the Senators (26-21-11) while Craig Anderson made 30 saves. Tyler Ennis and Drew Stafford scored for the Sabres (15-34-8), who lost for the fourth straight time. Enroth made 33 saves. Following two periods that saw the Senators build a 1-0 lead, things opened up in the third period with four goals off several good scoring opportunities. It started with Michalek doubling the Senators lead to 2-0 just 10 seconds into the period on a perfect pass from Spezza which allowed Michalek to redirect the puck in. The goal was the fastest in team history from the start of a period breaking the old record of 12 seconds set by Spezza back in 2009. "At least Im still involved in (the record) I guess. I would have shot it if I knew that," Spezza joked after the game, quickly getting serious when the Sabres comeback was brought up. "A two goal lead is a tricky lead. We give up the one goal to make it 2-1 and then really anything can happen with a bounce here or a bounce there. Hopefully we learn from it." Ottawa got into penalty trouble but was fortunate when Ennis hit the post on one power-play opportunity. The Sabres also had a five-on three advantage for 17 secoonds but were unable to get a shot on goal during that brief stretch.dddddddddddd Ennis broke Andersons shutout bid at 10:25 of the third when the puck came to him in front off a failed wrap-around attempt by Stafford. The puck rolled off Staffords stick right to Ennis who had an empty net to shoot at. Stafford then tied the game at 15:46 when he grabbed a rebound and went around Anderson who was down and out on the play. "There were no excuses not to battle as hard as we could going into that third period and we did a really good job," Ennis said. "Its super disappointing to lose that one." Only seven goals, including one in a shootout, have been scored in the previous three matchups between the Sabres and Senators. Karlsson put the Senators on the board first with his shot from along the boards eluded Enroth just 3:12 into the second period. Neither team had many quality scoring chances despite seven power plays between them through the first two periods. But one scoring chance the Sabres did have though came late in the second when Stafford drove the Senators net from just above the goal line but he was unable to tip the puck through Anderson. The Senators stymied the Sabres on all seven of their power-play opportunities. "Weve been winning faceoffs and doing a much better job up the ice and on the initial entry into our zone weve contested it and been hard to play against," MacLean said. The Senators were 0-3 with the man advantage. NOTES: Forwards Linus Omark and Marcus Foligno along with defenceman Tyler Myers were scratches for the Sabres Thursday. Scratches for the Senators were defencemen Chris Phillips and Joe Corvo plus forward Matt Kassian. ...
