Brian Hoyer met with the media today at the Browns' practice facility in Berea. Here is a transcript of what he had to say.

On if he expects a change at quarterback:

“No, I don’t know anything. I haven’t talked to (Head) Coach (Mike) Pettine or anyone else yet. Similar to last week, I’ll prepare this week the way I always do.”

On what he saw when he looked at the film that he didn't know right away yesterday:

“Just missed opportunities. I knew they were going to be there, whether it was a missed throw or a dropped ball or a missed block, whatever it was. When you play a team that good, you can’t afford to not go out and basically play almost perfect, and we were far from it all the way across the board. You’ve just got to be more consistent, and when you lose a close game like that you look at, you critique every play. What would have happened on this one? It’s hard not to do that – would have, could have, should have. You look at it and there were opportunities there, and it’s disappointing.”

On if anything has changed for him over the last seven or eight weeks or if it has just been the way the NFL goes:

“I think it’s just that. I don’t think I’m playing any differently. I don’t have a different mindset going out there. It’s just go out and try to see the defense and react. I can’t pinpoint one certain thing.”

On if the chemistry with WR Josh Gordon is getting worse: "It's going to always be a constant work in progress when you have limited reps. That's all I'll say about that."

On if that's why Gordon wasn't in on several third downs: "You'd have to ask the coaches about that one."

On which plays from yesterday bother him the most: "Overthrowing (WR Taylor) Gabriel on the one, but like I said to you guys yesterday we scored after that one. The other one on the sideline with Josh, that's right there on his fingertips. You wish that you would connect on that one. There are so many that if it goes our way, it's a different story. It's hard to tell. Those two kind of stand out in my mind because those are the ones that I had the most control over and plays that could have changed the game."

On FOX broadcaster John Lynch saying his footwork wasn't as clean and it should be and if he has noticed a drop off in his footwork or fundamentals that would affect his accuracy:

“No. Watching the film there were a few maybe where I had to move my feet a lot. I had to move a little bit from the pocket more than usual, too. Sometimes when you have to do that, your feet aren’t as clean. Yeah, I could see on certain plays where he might have said that, but for the most part, there are times when I hung in there and took some hits and threw the ball, too. Over the course of an NFL game, I don’t think you’re going to have perfect feet the whole time. Obviously, you strive to do that. Watching the film thinking back to a few plays, I can understand where he said that.”

On if he has the same resolve he did last week when he said this was his team:

“Yeah, no doubt. Like I said, I haven’t been told anything different, and I’ll prepare the same way. Coach, that’s his decision, and I respect his decision. For me, I’ve just got to keep the same mentality. It’s about being mentally tough, and I think, if anything, I’ve proven I can handle that. I’ll keep the same attitude and prepare the same way.”

On if he would be surprised if Pettine made a switch at QB: "At this point, I really don't know. I really don't."

On if he feels like he still has the trust of his teammates and his coaches:

“Yeah, no doubt.”

On if it's unusual for the backup QB to arrive at 11 a.m. for a 1 p.m. game:

“I don’t know anything about that.”

On if he thinks he has to guide this team to the playoffs to stay here long term:

“That’s so far removed from my mind. Right now, we’re getting over yesterday and moving on to Cincinnati. It’s crazy how fast things change. Four or five weeks ago, we were talking about contract talks, and now, we’re talking about if I’m even going to be staying here. It’s the furthest thing from my mind right now.”

On how managed to not think about the long-term future:

“I just try to focus on what I can control. At this point now, it’s onto Cincinnati and preparing for them. Everything else will take care of itself. I’m a believer that things happen for a reason. That’s the only way I’ve survived in this profession is hoping that things will take care of themselves and an opportunity will come along. I’ll always have that mindset.”

On if the mojo changed since WR Josh Gordon came back:

“I don’t know. I can’t really...I don’t know about mojo or whatever word you want to talk about. We just haven’t played well in the past three weeks - maybe even going back to Houston before Josh even got back. We didn’t play well in that game either. It’s a team game. Like I’ve said before, when 10 guys do their job right and one doesn’t, it can really affect a play whether that’s the quarterback, the running backs, the line, the receivers, the tight ends. That’s just the way it is. Everybody has got to be able to step up, and when you’re not being perfect, you need one guy to step up and make a big play. We didn’t have that yesterday. We didn’t have one play that just changed it all for us. When you’re having a game where there are some inconsistencies and not everybody is doing their job on every play, you need that - that one player to make a play. We didn’t have that yesterday.”

On if he feels in some ways that at the very end he made a throw that still could have won the football game:

“Yeah, like I said, to watch that film...it’s even more disappointing to watch it than it was after we felt yesterday because we had opportunities. Even you talk about that one throw. There are chances to win the game. Like I said, it’s disappointing.”

On how he gets back on track for the final three weeks:

“Just got out and be consistent. Have everybody doing their job. Like I said, you don’t want a game where 10 guys are doing their job and one guy isn’t, and then you’re waiting for someone to make a play. You want to go out and from the get go have everyone be on the same page and firing off cylinders.”

On if Gordon took responsibility for the two balls in the fourth quarter that he didn't come up with:

“You know what, we watched it as quarterbacks. I haven’t spoken to Josh yet. I know he’s not happy with the way the result of the game was. We lost. No one is happy. That would be something you’d have to ask him, but I haven’t had a chance to talk to him about it yet.”
