"Hue Jackson may have been caught off guard by Josh Gordon starting the Steelers game — against his wishes — but Tyrod Taylor wasn’t.“No, I was not (surprised),” Taylor said Wednesday. “How could I be surprised? I know the gameplan.”"
Since Taylor knew what the Browns were planning for the game, it makes sense that he was not surprised that Gordon started. But it also creates a little more truth to the fact that Jackson and Haley were not on the same page about the plan with Gordon.
