CLEVELAND -- Browns coach Mike Pettine isnt quite ready to name his starting quarterback. Vince Biegel Jersey . Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel havent convinced him they deserve the job. Pettine had been expected to announce Wednesday whether Hoyer or Manziel, the hyped rookie, would start the Sept. 7 opener at Pittsburgh during a teleconference. But the decision has been delayed and could carry through Clevelands third preseason game on Saturday, Pettine said. Clevelands coaching staff will meet Wednesday night and could then choose a starter. "Well decide later if were ready to name a starter," Pettine told reporters. "We could have one named, and Im not ruling that out. Thats something were going to discuss. And if we do have to wait until after the next game, so be it. "Were going to weigh everybodys opinion. Im very clearly on record: I would like to make a decision, and thats still very much a possibility." Pettines choice grew tougher after Hoyer and Manziel played poorly in a 24-23 exhibition loss at Washington on Monday night. Manziel also made an obscene gesture toward the Redskins sideline, an act Pettine called "extremely disappointing" and will likely result in a fine from the NFL. Pettine said Manziels actions on national TV will be factored into the decision on a starter. "Well take into account all things quarterbacks A to Z," Pettine said. "So its body of work, its everything from the time they set foot in the building back in the spring up until today." Manziel said he was taunted by Redskins players and he responded by holding up his middle finger. Following the game, Manziel acknowledged "I shouldve been smarter." Pettine has preached to his players about staying poised and Manziel didnt show any in responding to the trash talk he was hearing from Washingtons defenders and bench. "We talk about Play like a Brown," Pettine said. "We want our guys to act like a Brown and we want this to be a first-class organization. We have hundreds, thousands of kids come to our training camp practices and look up to our players and that type of behaviour is unacceptable. "Its something thats part of football that you have to maintain your poise and your composure, especially at that position and he should know better than anyone that all eyes are on him. I know its something that will be addressed by the league and will be addressed internally." Mason Crosby Jersey . He was still a kid, going into his senior year of high school. Thursday, the point guard stood in front of a couple dozen members of the media and spoke with poise about how much hed grown since then, and how hes ready for the next level. Dean Lowry Jersey . And, just for good measure, lets say the lottery team finishes the game short-handed because two starters come down with the very same injury.SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- Zachary Fucale became the youngest goaltender in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League history to reach 100 wins when the Halifax Mooseheads beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 5-2 on Tuesday.
