The Day After; Five Takeaways from the Hue Jackson Presser After the Browns Tie with the Steelers

3. The Lowdown on Tyrod Taylor

“Not good enough. What I am also saying in there is that it is not all him. Sometimes guys got to be in the right spot. Protection has to hold up for him. All of those things in a passing game makes a difference. I think we all understand that. It is not just him. Does he have to do his job better? Yes. I think everyone around him has to do their job better, too.”

On the leash on Taylor being long:

“I mean, he is the quarterback.”

On giving Taylor a long period of time to see if he can figure it out:

“I do not know if it is a good look. I mean we are trying to win (laughter). And I understand what you are saying. His job is to get the offense to play the best that it can play, but it takes more than just him. I know the sentiment I am getting here is that it is him. It is not. It is the offensive unit as a whole. Got to play better. As you said earlier, whether that is newness or whatever it is. I do not want to get caught up in all of that. I want us to get better here this next week, and go to this game and play much better than we played this past week. I think that is the goal. And obviously he plays a part in that, but so does everybody else. So we need to practice and get better. And I think we will. I have seen us do some really good things, I just did not see the consistency in us doing some really good things yesterday.”
