00:00 Can you just talk about that?
00:01 When was that decision made?
00:02 We've been asked you several times about his status and status quo.
00:08 >> It was status quo.
00:09 We did everything we can to get him ready.
00:11 He did everything he could to get ready.
00:13 Wasn't responding.
00:14 And at this point in time, on the further evaluation from the doctors,
00:17 we decided to put him on IR.
00:18 >> What kind of setback was there, something that,
00:22 when we talked to him at the first week of training camp, he said his knee was
00:25 healthy and healed.
00:27 Did some changes or some kind of setback?
00:30 >> Well, the more he did on it, the worse it got.
00:32 So when you're healed and you don't do anything,
00:35 you're not healed once you start working on it and it's not responding.
00:38 >> Is he gonna have surgery?
00:40 >> That I'm not sure yet.
00:42 >> Jason and I had said in the broadcast,
00:43 this was something I was talking about a few weeks ago.
00:46 What was that decision ultimately made by you guys that he was going to go on IR?
00:51 >> That was just made the last day or so.

00:55 >> Todd, how did you feel about Baker's performance tonight in the first
00:57 offensive line?
00:58 >> I thought he was efficient.
01:00 I thought they ran, played well together.
01:03 Symmetry and the chemistry was there, breaking in and out of the hole.
01:07 This is what we wanted to see.
01:08 He was efficient in the passing game.
01:09 He went down and got a score.
01:11 >> You only had two series, I think, with your starters, offensive line and
01:15 Baker. Is that enough in the preseason to get a good look and evaluation?
01:19 >> Yeah, it is.
01:19 We get more than enough during the season.
01:21 We get more than enough and we'll be playing their top guys during the year.
01:25 We wanted to get some chemistry and some game action and we got what we got done.
01:28 >> First time we saw Tristan in a game at left tackle, what did you think?
01:33 >> I mean, it was fine.
01:35 Obviously, he'll be facing some stiff competition, but
01:37 he was fine over there, everything was comfortable to him.
01:40 >> On that first touchdown with the Ravens, what kind of went wrong there?
01:43 It looked like Devin was supposed to pick up the guy on the switch.
01:46 Do you know what happened there?
01:47 >> Had nothing to do with Devin.
01:48 We busted something in the back.
01:50 >> Coach, do you have an update on Sean Tucker?
01:53 >> Yeah, he had cramps.
01:54 >> How do you, your running game was going tonight,
01:57 150 plus yards on the ground.
01:59 Some of that was with your reserves, but
02:01 could you talk about what your starters did in terms of running the ball and
02:05 getting Rashad White going?
02:07 >> We got a hat on the hat.
02:08 That was one thing we tried to get accomplished tonight.
02:10 And we got some tough runs out of those guys in the first half.
02:13 They weren't big runs, but they were four and five yards, which was good and
02:17 very efficient for us to try and throw the football.
02:19 And we gotta continue to play like that, so that was good to see.
02:22 >> How did you talk about having a lot of tough decisions to make between now and
02:26 Tuesday without seeing the tape from tonight?
02:28 Are there guys that stand out to you that helped themselves in those decisions?
02:33 >> I don't know, I gotta see the tape of the positions of the guys that I was
02:36 looking at.
02:36 I wasn't really looking, I was looking at other things.
02:39 >> Has this rookie class made it a lot more difficult to make some of those
02:42 decisions considering how many of them have stepped up?
02:46 >> I mean, it's tough, it's tough.
02:47 You got a lot of young guys that can play.
02:49 >> Ty, can you speak on that?
02:50 You got JJ Russell, 11 tackles tonight.
02:53 He looks like he's one of the guys that's maybe one of the more approved players
02:56 from a year ago for you.
02:58 >> He got better in the system mentally.
03:00 He can always tackle, he can always fly around, but
03:02 he got better mentally in the system, and he ran the defense tonight.
