Rob Jones has been the rock all year. But the good thing is that every game someone different steps it up.

I don't think anyone really expected this kind of game. But I felt at some point in the year, we could be pretty good. We didn't know if it would be week three, four, five . . .

He's a very good passer and played hard. And he turned his game up a notch the last five or six games.

He (Carpenter) came on in relief and looked good against Cameron. He threw well in a reserve game so we figured that we would give him a look today. He certainly did a good job. I told the guys to be on their toes because he throws strikes. He's not going to hurt himself by walking too many batters. Our defense needed to be ready to get some outs and they did.

I had to take baby steps all year,

[Jones is] the best tackle in the game, hands down. A lot of offensive tackles are good at one thing, like pass protection. But what makes him better than anyone else is you've got to bring your 'A' game against his run-blocking, too. He has no weaknesses. You've got to bring it every snap against him.
