CLEVELAND (AP) — Gregg Williams showed the Browns what he could do as their coach for a half-season.On Tuesday http://www.cardinalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-byron-murphy-jersey , he shared his plans for a full one — and maybe more.Williams, who led Cleveland to a 5-3 record as an interim coach, became the first candidate to interview with general manager John Dorsey, who is looking for a “man of character” to lead one of the NFL’s rising teams.Williams had an impressive run after he replaced a fired Hue Jackson on Oct. 29. The Browns remained focused and played as well as they have in several years under the 60-year-old Williams, who has served for the past two seasons as the team’s defensive coordinator.Dorsey said Monday he was interested in hearing Williams’ long-term vision with the Browns. Williams didn’t publicly campaign for the job during the closing weeks of the season, but several players said they would be fine if he returned.“He had a clear message,” left guard Joel Bitonio said as the Browns cleared out their lockers following the biggest turnaround season in club history. “He was concise, clear message, but we were all on the same page. We knew what he wanted, we knew what we were going to get from him and that’s all you can really ask for in a coach.”Williams took over from Jackson Andy Isabella Jersey , finally dismissed after winning just three of 40 games in two-plus seasons.Even if he doesn’t get hired by the Browns, Williams could draw interest by one of the other teams seeking a coach. Williams coached in Buffalo from 2001-03, going 17-31 in three seasons. He won a Super Bowl as a defensive coordinator in New Orleans.Dorsey is casting a wide net as the Browns look for their ninth coach since 1999.He intends to interview offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens for the head-coaching position. Kitchens helped develop quarterback Baker Mayfield, who set a league rookie record with 27 touchdown passes — 19 in the final nine games.Dorsey has also asked for permission to interview New Orleans assistant head coach/tight ends coach Dan Campbell, Minnesota offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski, New England linebackers coach Brian Flores, Indianapolis offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni and Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.It’s also probable that Dorsey will meet with former Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy. The pair spent seven years together with the Packers.Dorsey said he is committed to a “thorough” and “deliberate” search.One coach to cross off Dorsey’s list is Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley. He has agreed to a contract extension with the school, ending speculation he might rejoin Mayfield in the pros. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Case Keenum’s new beginning in Denver was blotted by an uncharacteristic three interceptions, almost half the number he threw in Minnesota last year Brian Burns Jersey , when only seven of his 481 passes were picked off.Keenum said he awoke the morning after Denver’s 27-24 win over Seattle and “I would say it didn’t feel quite like I wanted it to feel after my first win as a Bronco. So, there’s a lot of hunger. We’re all very, very hungry to get out there and keep getting better this week.”The Broncos (1-0) host Oakland (0-1) on Sunday.Despite the trio of interceptions, Broncos coaches didn’t flinch in their faith of Keenum. The QB who teamed with Stefon Diggs to produce the Vikings‘ virtuoso shocker in the playoffs threw three touchdown passes, punctuating the Broncos’ best offensive output since the 2015 finale with a frozen rope to a tiptoeing, tumbling Demaryius Thomas for the winning score.Keenum also hit Emmanuel Sanders (10 catches for 135 yards) for his first touchdown since Week 2 last season, and rookie running back Phillip Lindsay for his first career TD, a 29-yard catch-and-run play.Only one other time in Keenum’s 43 NFL games has he thrown as many as three interceptions; in 2016 he was picked off four times by the Giants while with the Los Angeles Rams.Keenum said he needs to relax and realize he doesn’t have to press with such talent around him.“I trust all those guys,” Keenum said. “We’ve got some incredible playmakers that make plays downfield, and if anything http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/greg-little-jersey-authentic , I just need to make sure when a shot’s called, it’s not necessarily a shot taken. Check the ball down and rely on those guys because I’ve got some really big-time playmakers, and let them do what they do.“I don’t have to do everything myself.”His interceptions led to two Seahawks touchdowns and thwarted a Denver drive.“That’s 17 points I’m responsible for,” Keenum said.Coach Vance Joseph liked the way Keenum bounced back from his errant throws.“After the interceptions he had his best drives,” Joseph said. “So, that speaks to his confidence. It speaks to him not folding.”Raiders coach Jon Gruden is also a fan of Keenum’s and has been ever since interviewing him for his “QB Camp” show on ESPN in 2012, when Keenum came out of the University of Houston as the NCAA’s career leader in completions, passing yards and touchdowns.“I’ve been accused of liking everybody, but I really like Keenum,” Gruden said. “What he did in college is unseen Will Grier Jersey , the type of production that he had. I told our people a long time ago when I first got here I think THE free agent acquisition in pro football this year is going to be Case Keenum.”Not Kirk Cousins, whom the Vikings turned to after Keenum led them to the NFC championship.“What he did in Minnesota, the toughness that he put on tape,” Gruden said, his voice trailing off in admiration. “He made a throw last week against Seattle, there were two or three Seahawks beating down on him — it’s a 14-yard gain.“His pocket presence, I think his personality, his fight, his grit, he gets the most out of himself. He’s given them consistent http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/christian-miller-jersey-authentic , quality play at a position that they haven’t had since (Peyton) Manning left.”Denver’s 470 yards of offense was the most by the Broncos since the 2015 finale when Manning returned from a foot injury to rally Denver past the Chargers and vault them toward their Super Bowl 50 triumph.Keenum is just as big a fan of Gruden’s.“I’m pretty sure he watched every rep that I’d ever played in college, he found some obscure tape from I don’t know where,” Keenum said. “It was a lot of fun. I got a lot good feedback.”One of Gruden’s most scrutinized moves since returning to the sideline was sending pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears in a move that sent shockwaves throughout the league and also makes life easier on the Raiders’ AFC West rivals.“He’s talented,” Keenum said, “but I’m pretty sure they’re going to play 11 guys. They’re not just going to put 10 out there without him.”In a conference call with reporters in Denver on Wednesday, Gruden said he’s been asked about the blockbuster trade ad nauseam “and rightfully so.”“He’s a great guy. He’s a great player. It’s unfortunate we don’t have him,” Gruden said. “But we feel we did the right thing for this football team, for the future of the Raiders and for this building process.“I know we’ve got to prove it. But so does he.”
