BEREA, Ohio -- Week 3. Quarterback No. 3. The Browns are up to their usual changes, just a lot earlier than normal. With Brandon Weeden out with a sprained thumb for at least one game, and Clevelands offence unable to score, coach Rob Chudzinski shockingly named third-string QB Brian Hoyer his starter for Sundays game at Minnesota and demoted troubled wide receiver Greg Little. Chudzinskis decision to start Hoyer is a surprise since he picked him ahead of experienced backup Jason Campbell, who came off the bench last week after Weeden was injured in Baltimore. Hoyer had been listed as Clevelands third-team quarterback behind Campbell since training camp opened, and it had been assumed that if Weeden couldnt play, Campbell would move one spot up the depth chart. But Chudzinski decided to go with Hoyer to help the Browns (0-2) get their first win. "I feel like based on our current situation -- where were at offensively as well as getting into the game planning for Minnesota -- that Brians strengths are the best fit for this week and that he gives us our best chance to win," Chudzinski said. "The things that he does well fit what we need. For me, its about who gives us the best chance to win. "Were 0-2 right now, so were looking to shake things up to start winning games. Were hoping this is a spark we need." Chudzinski added another layer of alarm to Wednesdays news by failing to guarantee Weeden would get his job back. "Im going to leave all the options open," Chudzinski said. "Really, its a matter of where hes at from a health standpoint and all that plays into it and where were at and how guys are playing as well." Browns general manager Michael Lombardi has long admired Hoyer, but Chudzinski said the choice to start him was "absolutely my decision." Hoyer will be the 19th quarterback to start for the Browns since 1999, a troubling figure that maybe best explains why the club is 73-154 since its expansion return with one playoff appearance. As Clevelands offensive co-ordinator in 2007, Chudzinski oversaw the benching of starter Charlie Frye after the opener for Derek Anderson, who led the Browns to a 10-6 record with a high-scoring offence. "Its just evidence that a change can be good," Chudzinski said. "It remains to be seen how Brian plays. Im expecting him to play well." Weeden injured his thumb when he banged it on the helmet of a teammate while throwing a pass in Sundays 14-6 loss to Baltimore. The second-year starter will visit a hand specialist on Thursday, when he should get a better sense of how long he will be out. "You never want to get hurt," said Weeden, who was sacked 11 times in Clevelands two losses. "I dont care when it is, could be the 16th game or the first game. As a player, you want to be out there. So, yeah it is frustrating. Even though the results werent there offensively, we were starting to do some better things. "I want to be out there with my guys." Glancing at the black brace on his right hand, Weeden quietly answered questions. He seemed caught off guard when told about Chudzinskis comment that his job may not be waiting for him. "I dont worry about that stuff," Weeden said. Running back Trent Richardson isnt concerned about who he lines up with in the backfield. "It really doesnt matter to me. Im behind my quarterback 100 per cent, whoever he is," Richardson said. "Im glad people have been sleeping on Hoyer. So when he comes out to surprise people, itd be a bigger shock to the world. Hes a smart dude." For Hoyer, the chance to start for the Browns is a dream. The 27-year-old grew up in Cleveland. It will be the second career start for the fifth-year QB, who appeared in Arizonas season finale last year against San Francisco and completed 19 of 34 passes for 225 yards. However, Hoyer, who was waived by New England, Pittsburgh and Arizona in a nine-month span last year, gained invaluable experience and the confidence to do it again. "Every situation is unique and this what I came here for -- to play," said Hoyer, who signed with Cleveland in May. "You dont come here to be just a guy, and I think anybody who plays this position in this league, they want to be on the field. But unfortunately, there can only be one." Hoyer started the exhibition finale after Campbell fell ill in Chicago. He completed 24 of 35 passes for 307 yards and a TD with two interceptions. Campbell, who has made 71 career starts, was not available in the locker room. Chudzinski said Campbell handled not starting with class. "Hes a team player," Chudzinski said. "He said hell be ready if we need him." ---- NOTES: Little, who has dropped several passes, was dropped himself as Chudzinski said WRs Davone Bess and Josh Gordon, back from a two-game suspension, will start.

Buoyed by a successful World Cup in Brazil and UEFA President Michel Platini opting not to stand in next years election, the 78-year-old Blatter believes he has the backing to win again. "I will make an official declaration definitely in September now when we have the executive committee," Blatter said in a pre-recorded interview shown Monday at the SoccerEx conference. "I will inform the executive committee. Its a question of respect also to say then to the football family, Yes I will be ready. I will be a candidate." In response to FIFAs worst corruption scandals, Blatter had pledged before his re-election in 2011 that his current term would be his last. But the Swiss official, who took over as FIFA president in 1998, has been edging toward another run ever since, with no major rival emerging to challenge him. Despite ongoing corruption scandals engulfing FIFA and opposition within UEFA, Blatter appears to have retained the support of most national federations. Victory in the May election would extend Blatters mandate to a 21st year in 2019 when he would be 83. "A mission is never finished, and my mission is not finished," said Blatter, who has previously stopped short of confirming his candidacy. "I got (from) the last congress in Sao Paulo not only the impression but the support of the majority, a huge majority of national associations asking Please go on, be our president also in future." Any potential challengers must have worked in football for at least two of the last five years, and have until late January to gather the support of at least five national associations. The secret ballot is scheduled for May 29 in Zurich, and former FIFA international relations director Jerome Champagne is the only other person to say he will stand. FIFA does not have term limits, but FIFA Vice-President Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein of Jordan is for them. "Its always good to have new ideas, new opinions and new blood," Prince Ali said Monday at SoccerEx. "I do believe in term limits. You serve the time you have and thats that. I think people would much happier knowing, even as people to aspire to a position, when they end." Blatter has seemed more willing in recent years to heed calls for change, introducing goal-line technology and strengthening racism sanctions. FIFA, though, still struggles with corruption scandals discrediting many former executive committee members. Blatter, however, has emerged largely unscathed -- despite often being booed when he faces fans at major matches.dddddddddddd "(I) just ask for a little bit more respect and fair play and perhaps also the truth, although this is not so easy because it is not such good information," Blatter said. "If you ask me how I deal with that, at the beginning it was very heavy and I was suffering. "But now my situation has been cleared and cleaned by all possible means outside of FIFA, inside of FIFA. So therefore I am confident and I am going forward as an optimist." FIFA faces a turbulent future as it deals with the fallout from awarding the 2018 World Cup to Russia and the 2022 tournament to Qatar. FIFA last week received three reports from ethics investigator Michael Garcia and his team after their year-long probe of alleged corruption in the bidding contests. If the Middle Easts first World Cup is not taken from Qatar, FIFA must determine how the event can be moved from the summer heat. Blatter cancelled a planned visit to SoccerEx in Manchester to stay in Zurich, where football leaders were meeting Monday to discuss the potential disruption to the international calendar caused by starting the 2022 World Cup in January or November. "We have already said we cannot play in summer in this heat in Qatar, then we have to play in winter," Blatter said. "Now we are making this consultation." The more pressing challenge is resisting calls from some British and German politicians to take the World Cup from Russia or boycott the tournament as punishment for President Vladimir Putins intervention in Ukraine. "A boycott in sport never has had any benefit," Blatter said. "Let us wait and see the geo-political situation and FIFA shall not intervene with politics. But for the time being we are working with Russia." Looking further ahead, Blatter offered encouragement for a bid by the United States or Canada for the 2026 World Cup "If you look at the rotation of the World Cup then it should go back to Africa or go to the Americas," Blatter said. "As we have been in South America, I think North America has a better chance than South America .... perhaps theres a big commercial opportunity arising now in the United States because of the tremendous television audiences that are booming and that the World Cup has also encouraged in its domestic game as well. "We did well with football when it first went to the United States but the opportunities are bigger now." ' ' '
