tted by an uncharacteristic three interceptions Kirk Cousins Jersey , almost half the number he threw in Minnesota last year, 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, 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 Adrian Peterson 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, 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."Ask Ham Landers? Dear Hammy? A Daily Norseman Advice Column?? Long before I started writing for the Daily Norseman, I did a bit of dabbling in the science of psychiatry.Nothing official.No certificate from any college or anything like that.But, yeah, I did some reading - Skinner John Randle Jersey , Pavlov, Freud... that one other guy.I studied eastern philosophy, juxtaposed it with western values, judged it’s merits using my Northern Minnesota sensibility, and drank a lot of Southern Comfort.I even learned the finer points of palm reading and tarot cards.All in an effort to understand and help my fellow man.For a while, I set up a side-gig helping others help themselves.I felt that I was doing a service for people who weren’t quite in need of serious psychiatric help, but maybe needed a boost in self-confidence, or a little perspective in dark times.Kind of like a best friend would do if you found yourself in need of a pick-me-up.Not quite a life coach, not quite a counselor, but something along those lines.Sort of.Really, it’s a job that any good bartender could do.Somewhere in the last few weeks, word of my former dabbling apparently got out, and my inbox has begun filling up with strange requests for guidance.Today, my inbox absolutely exploded with people looking for help.Back in the day, every newspaper worth a nickle ran advice columns from the Friedman sisters, Pauline and Eppy - “Dear Abby” and “Ask Ann Landers”, respectively.Because I feel that my fellow DN’ers have shown time and again that they are a supportive, welcoming group, I’ve decided to share some of these calls for help and see if any of you good folks would be able to help.So, put your favorite nature sounds disc in the ol’ CD player, fire up the aromatherapy bubblers Alan Page Jersey , put on some soft, comfy clothing, and let’s help these good people resolve their issues.Oh, and I’ve changed the names of the people who sent these requests - you know, to maintain their anonymity.Dear Mr. Burr,Everything IS going to be OK.Bullying manifests itself in many forms, and you were definitely bullied today.Shame on Josh for doing you that way.It doesn’t make you a bad person.Show him that you’re the bigger person, and just ignore him.You’ll probably never see him again, and if you do, he probably won’t even remember.Dear Jorge,I’ve never met the guy, but he seems like he’s a pretty good dude at heart.Maybe he forgot you’re on the team?You should knock on his office door right away in the morning - maybe bring him a pumpkin spice latte - and have a nice visit with him. Just a couple of friends having a chat.I’m positive that he’d appreciate it - really, who wouldn’t?You could talk about gardening, or nature, or the type of books you each like to read.Share some laughs!It’ll rekindle your friendship, and also give you a chance to get to know your coach on a non-football level. Hey Matthew,I can tell by the tone of your message that you’re really, really frustrated.First things first:let’s work on cutting down on the profanity.Profanity is the weak man’s language, and it sure doesn’t sound like you’re a weak man.Calm, soothing language will help you overcome your challenges, because change starts internally.Say it with me: “The referees are pretty nice people Randy Moss Jersey , and they have feelings and fears, and hopes and dreams, too.Just like me.”Maybe you could try hitting a different player?Freud might tell us that hitting the quarterback is just a substitute for something else.Be the best ‘you’ that you can be, and the rest will take care of itself.Dear BradSure I remember!And I’m glad to hear you’re in a better place.There’s nothing worse than putting maximum effort into a relationship - only to have your “partner” tell you they’ve found somebody new.There’s nothing that you can say or do that will make them change their mind and suddenly want you again, and chasing them will only break your heart more.At that point, it’s time to just get on with your own life.Stay strong, friend!By the way - you’re an inspiration to all of us who are nearing retirement age!Hey, 11If I could give you a hug through my internet connection, I would.It sounds like that’s what you need right now.So, huuuuuuuuggggzzzz!!! LOL!!But seriously, you are a special person.Even if you lived in a crate under the Stone Arch Bridge, you are a special person!Don’t let anyone take that from you, ever.In fact, think of the ball as your best friend!He’s coming at you, he’s coming at you, he’s coming aaaat you鈥?. And鈥? HUG!Give that little fella a BIG ol’ hug!The ball is your best friend and wants to spend more time with you! And every time you drop a pass, think of me giving you a big hug.Squeezing you tightly.Around the neck.Roland,If you can ask the question, you have to be prepared for any answer - even an uncomfortable one.Yes.You are being selfish.If you do your job strictly for the glory, you’ll forever set yourself up for disappointment.Try helping those around you achieve glory.And when they are successful, see how much they appreciate your efforts!There’s no “I” in “team” Cris Carter Jersey , but there sure is a “me” in self-improvement”!Hey Curt,Happy to help.I’ll grab the cards and let you know what they say:Ahhh!The 8 of Cups, Reversed!Here’s what it means:You may be thinking about leaving a situation that seems as if it is no longer working. There is a need to stop and think about it a bit longer. You may not have given the situation enough time yet.It’s important to keep reminding yourself that good times lie ahead for you. If your gut is telling you that you really need to get out of a job, trust yourself... but think long and hard first. Look before you leap and weigh all the pros and cons, if possible.You may be feeling a powerful urge to get out of your current work situation. There is a reason why you are feeling this way; don’t disregard your feelings, but at the same time don’t feel you have to move immediately either.Hope that helps!Oh...Hi, Milo,DID YOU WATCH THE GAME!?I’m not sure you can even PUT your foot far enough up your team’s collective ass to make a difference!In fact, after watching the game, I might track you down and put my foot up YOUR ass!Here’s a hint, Einstein - the league has figured out your oh-so-exotic defense!Like, months ago!But hey, genius, keep banging your head into that same wall!Maybe something different will happen!Oh, and tell El Floppo - or whatever the hell your fancy new coordinator’s name is - that when your eighty-four million dollar quarterback has exactly point-four seconds to drop back, find his receivers and get rid of the ball鈥?*dingdingding* maybe try running the ball!?Four carries on the day for your entire backfield?FOUR?Do you want me to summon the ghost of Adrian Peterson to haunt you for the rest of your life?JEEZUS MURPHY!NOW I NEED THERAPY!
