00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: from Radio Row at Super Bowl fifty six. John, Good,

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: afternoon to you. What's happening on radio road at day. Well,

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: a lot of talk as you know from JP, I mean,

34
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: as you know from being around this JP, but uh

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: from for our world, for the Jaguars people who were here,

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Havanaugh, Dave Buchanis and myself. We're here for the

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: announcement of Tony Biselli. We're hoping as you said at

38
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: the top of the show February two, twenty two, what

39
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: you hope is that this is a landmark day for

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, because that's really what it would be. It

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: would be a great day for Tony. He deserves it,

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: but it would be the Jaguars first Hall of Famer.

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: That'd be cool. It's a big deal obviously, the first

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: draft pick and enfranchise history, five time Pro Bowl or

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: three time First Team All Pro, the shortened career because

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: of shoulder issues. But everyone you talk to, most everybody

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: you talked to who either played against him one on

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: one or played with him, know that in that window,

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: he was the best player in football at that position.

50
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: Especially well. I was fortunate enough JP to cover I

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: think all but maybe three or four of Tony's games

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: I let in two thousand. Uh, he played a little

53
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: bit in two thousand and one, but I saw the

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: great majority of his career. In addition to that, I

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: spent a lot of that time during that time covering

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars for the paper for the Full Times Union,

57
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: So I talked to people about Tony. Uh. You know,

58
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: I guess we're a little biased, but to me and

59
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: to many many others, he was the best left tackle

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: in what many people consider the Golden era of the position.

61
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: Orlando paces I played at the same time, uh, Willie

62
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Rove played at the same time, UH, Jonathan Ogden played.

63
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: Those guys are in. Tony was first Team All Pro

64
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: three years in a row during that time with those

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: guys in the league. That's the bell market the position.

66
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: That's what shows you who is the best. Tony was

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: the best I ever saw play the position. Many others agree, Uh,

68
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: I think this is his time. And what's interesting, JP,

69
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: We've talked about a lot amongst ourselves, amongst Jaguars fans,

70
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't always work out that that first pick of

71
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: a franchise who's supposed to be the cornerstone, is the cornerstone.

72
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: He was the cornerstone. How fitting would be if he's

73
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: the first and I think he will be. John Os,

74
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: you're joining us from Radio Row at Super Bowl fifty

75
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: six in Los Angeles. Well, the process we've gone through

76
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: a few times now, this process with Tony being in

77
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: the finalists, he's obviously the last five years or so

78
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: actually now six years as a finalist, the last five

79
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: have been on the top ten. That means he's gotten

80
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: through the first cut of the finalists in that room.

81
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: We'll see where it goes tonight. But I mean, that's

82
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: that's a lot of close calls. There have been a

83
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: number of first ballot players. Clark Judge wrote an article

84
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: today uh talking to he's one of the electors, and

85
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: said there were ten first ballot choices the last four years,

86
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: and there was a run of offensive lineman. Of course

87
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: we talked about Fantica, Hutchinson and Maai. Those are all

88
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: gone now. So this seems like as good a year

89
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: as any. This seems like the year. I've written about

90
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: it and talked about it so much that I know

91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: people who have to listen to me a lot get

92
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: tired of saying it. Hudgenson, Fannik and Malay and miss

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: Elli were the four or four or five years ago

94
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: that every voter you talked to. And I'm fortunate enough

95
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: to have known a lot of Hall voters for a

96
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: long time, so I talked to him on and off

97
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: the record about it. All of them said, all four

98
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: of those guys will eventually get in. The people who

99
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: are in the room and vote, they study this process.

100
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: They know how it works. Tony has been. I think

101
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: you said JP top ten five years in a row.

102
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Very rare for guys to get that close and not

103
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: eventually get in, because if you're getting that kind of vote,

104
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people in the room who

105
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: firmly believe you're a Hall of Famer. I've never talked

106
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: to anybody who thinks he doesn't deserve to be in.

107
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: These votes can come down to circumstance, two votes to

108
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: other players getting votes. Everybody I've talked to thinks this

109
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: is Tony's year. I'm more confident than I ever have been.

110
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if it's not, but we'll see. Jaguars

111
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: dot Com Senior writer John Os, you're joining us from

112
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I loved your conversation with Anthony Monio's earlier

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: this week. Gets on Jaguars dot Com right now. Hall

114
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: of Fame player. Of course, his team is in the

115
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. A lot of folks want his thoughts on

116
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: what the Bengals are doing this week, but your conversation

117
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: with him was mainly about Tony Boselli, and he has

118
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: him right up there at the top of that class

119
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: as well. Of those players that played in the mid

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: to late nineties. Yeah, and Anthony has been quoted before

121
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: say any things, Tony was the best ever better than him.

122
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: I think that's some humility. Most people set Moonios as

123
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: the gold standard of the position. But he shared a

124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: story in that conversation of him coming down when he

125
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: was working for ESPN and doing a very good piece

126
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: on Tony when Tony was in his prime n or

127
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: ninety seven. As he's relaying that story, I can remember

128
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: as a reporter for the Times Union talking to Monos

129
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: when he was in town at that point, maybe it

130
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: was ninety seven, and Munio's detailing how he believed Tony

131
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: was better, how how he believed Tony had the potential

132
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: and was going to be and maybe even was the

133
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: best to ever play the position at that point. Uh,

134
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Moonio's absolutely believes he should be in. Uh. There's a

135
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: fraternity of great left tackles who have played the position

136
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: over the years. Pace we mentioned Ogden, Munos is one

137
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: of them. Those guys already see Tony as one of them.

138
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: He's in their fraternity. But you sort of need that

139
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: gold jacket to be in in that fraternity. And j P,

140
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: as I've told you before, the only problem with given

141
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Tony a gold jacket is he'll never take it off? No,

142
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: never will. Well, he'll be wearing that thing everywhere, and

143
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: of all the busts in that room and Canton, he'll

144
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: have the just bronze bust of them all. We know

145
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: that for sure he won't be able to make it

146
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: back out of the road. And I don't think so. No,

147
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: John Osy with us from Radio Row. It's Super Bowl

148
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: FI in Los Angeles, California. So all right, what does

149
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the day whole? It's a nine o'clock

150
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Eastern time show tonight eight seven, six o'clock Pacific time.

151
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Do they have do you know what time do the

152
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: players find out? We'll ask Tony coming up a little

153
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: more of the detail of that, But what do you

154
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: have the rest of the day to cover? Just sort

155
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: of waiting on it. We'll go to the press conference

156
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: that follows it, hoping to beat Uh. You know, I've

157
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: joked all day. What I want to not do tonight

158
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: is have to do sort of the cheek click interview

159
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: where you go here we are again, Tony, because I've

160
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: done that four or five years in a row. I've

161
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: I've lived through seeing his family so disappointed. Uh, and

162
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: you know it's it's tough. I mean, it's an emotional moment.

163
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: So from that point of view, he's lived through that

164
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: disappointment so much that you hope it happens for him.

165
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: For us, we'll be at the press conference, we'll be waiting,

166
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: We'll have a stream live on on Jaguars dot Com.

167
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: People can watch it there, and then we'll have the

168
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: reaction from him afterward, which I hope is a happy reaction.

169
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: That would be for sure nice. Uh was he he

170
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: was around Radio Row I heard today right making the

171
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: rounds as usual. He was. I spoke to him for

172
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and then he was, you're talking to

173
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: a lot of different people about it, and uh, I

174
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: think he feels good about it, and he's hopeful, and uh,

175
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: he reads the t leaves like everybody else, but he

176
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: also knows that there's nothing guaranteed in this process. John, Hey,

177
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: what's up? John Ozier with us from super Bowl Radio

Speaker 1: Row in Los Angeles. You know, this is Tony Boselli day.

179
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll hear that call tonight when he's announced as

180
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: a Class of Pro Football Hall of Famer. What's the

181
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: general reaction there about the Doug Peterson hiring, You've been

182
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: able to kind of make the rounds of the room

183
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: there all positive for the most part. Yeah, he's positive.

184
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: I talked to uh Adam Kaplan yesterday who knows Philadelphia

185
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: sports as well as anybody, and talked to Brian Baldinger

186
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: from the NFL Network. Uh the vibe is good. There's

187
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of well, you know, it's it would be

188
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: hard for it to be a step back because it

189
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: was a tough year last year, so there's a lot

190
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: of that as well. I think overall people nationally and

191
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: people who knows who know the NFL, no Doug. They

192
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: know what he's about, they know he can handle the job.

193
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: They have the same vibe JP that you and I

194
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: got from talking to him after the press conference on Saturday.

195
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: He's a professional coach, he knows what, he knows what

196
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: he's doing. The word you keep hearing about him is

197
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: a great collaborator. That's sort of what we heard on Saturday.

198
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: Somebody who can bring the building together, who can coach

199
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: his coaches, who players are going to believe in. All

200
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: of those things that you heard leading up to it

201
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: are things that you hear now that's what the franchise needs,

202
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: and it feels like he's that guy. John. Thanks for

222
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: of these Jaguars assistant coaches being reported, and this is

223
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. You know,

224
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: I think what really strikes players is that Doug is

225
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: a judguine guy and he doesn't put on airs, and

226
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: I think it's that resume with players, and really that's

227
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: what it's all about here. There's no He'll say in

228
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: a lot if you guys will say that there's no

229
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: more team game than a football team. In a game

230
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: like that, I mean, you have to get everybody to

231
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: buy in. Whatever your role is, do your job, do

232
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: your job the best. If everybody knows their job great,

233
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have a lot of success. And that's

234
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: really what Doug Peter does all. I think his motivation

235
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: and you know the thing about Dougnans Philly, well we

236
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: look at the Super Bowl win. He loved playoff appearances

237
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: after that. It wasn't easy in those three seasons. I

238
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: mean one of the themes in his time here was

239
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: a ton of injuries and Doug always was able to

240
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: write the shift, the shift, stay calm, make sure that

241
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: the next man up was prepared to play football, and

242
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: you know by large and Jill's Eagles chef winning football

243
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: games and reaching the fall season. That is Dave Spidero

244
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: Eagles insider on the new Jaguars head coach. Of course,

245
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson was a player in Philly. He was an

246
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: assistant coach in Philadelphia, the head coach of the Eagles

247
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: who finally got them to the mountain top and a

248
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship. And welcome back, It's Jaguars Happy Hour.

249
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,359
Speaker 1: The full conversation was pedero available on Jaguars dot Com.

250
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Los Angeles now and welcome in

251
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks joining us from your home studio.

252
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: That you know, Bucky, the Super bowls in your town

253
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: right now, right it is in my town. It is

254
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of a zoo down there. L a

255
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: live in the convention center with everything that's going on.

256
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Radio Row is in full earnest and popping on a Thursday.

257
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: I decided because of all that, I think we're going

258
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: to stay at the house today. We're gonna avoid some

259
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: of the rat race and I'm just gonna hang out

260
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: with Way for JP to carr Well I mean you,

261
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: you live the rat race every day. Let's be honest

262
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: with you. You're all over the place. You've got you've

263
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: got radio, you've got TV, you've got all these The

264
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: mock draft season is here. I mean you, you are

265
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: in the rat race every day. Yeah. Look, I'm in

266
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: the middle of it right now. It's a bit of

267
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: a transition because it's the end of one as we

268
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: know it with the Super Bowl culminating the end of

269
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: the season, but it's the beginning of two. And so

270
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: if we think about it from a Jaguars perspective, now

271
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: that we have to hear coaching place, we're getting to

272
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: put the piece of the coaching staff together. Now we

273
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: can start looking at those mob drafts with a little

274
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: reality based sense and feel for who could be the

275
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: next airs and so now seeing any time because remember JP,

276
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks we met Indianapolis at the Combine,

277
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: and I know that you've already made a reservations so

278
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: we can go eat at a couple of fine establishments

279
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: and you get the credit card are all paid down,

280
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: so we can we can have a good time. I'm

281
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: looking forward to It's gonna be a blast. Yeah. The

282
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: expense report. I'd like to apologize in advance for what's

283
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna happen in Indianapolis. Bucky Brooks with us NFL network analysts.

284
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: All Right, so the Jaguars have reportedly come to terms

285
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: with a number of assistant coaches. The word is when

286
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: it's done. Maybe next week they'll have one full announcement

287
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: with everybody on the list together. But today the most

288
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: recent name has been out there is Press Taylor, offensive coordinator,

289
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: reportedly coming to terms with the Jaguars. And you know,

290
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor's brother first of all, and has a history

291
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: with Doug Peterson in Philadelphia. He is the guy responsible

292
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: for the Philly Special. How about that, Bucky? How about

293
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: how about that? I think when you think about Press Taylor,

294
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: I think we probably should examine all of those moves

295
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: around the quarterback together. So as Press Taylor as the

296
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, it's Mike McCoy as the quarterback coach, and

297
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: then as Doug Peterson as the ultimate play caller. Well,

298
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: Press Taylor and Doug Peterson obviously have a history having

299
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: worked there together. And so the one thing that we

300
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: know is that there's going to be synergy. The verbiage

301
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: and the language is going to be the same for

302
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Everybody is going to be in alignment with

303
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy. What you have is UM one, you have

304
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: a guy who played like Doug Peterson, Mike McCoy and myself.

305
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: We're all on the Green Bay Packers in the mid nineties.

306
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: Mike mccorby was on the practice squad, and so you

307
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: have that connection and synergy between guys who know one another,

308
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: who were in the same quarterback room, who understand how

309
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: the position should be taught. And so when you think

310
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: about trying to create that that that synergy from top

311
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: to bottom, meaning everyone who touched the quarterback is saying

312
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: the same things. And so there's no confusion in terms

313
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: of drills, instruction, schematics, all of that stuff is together.

314
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: And so I love it the way that they're putting

315
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: it together. You know, I think we buried the lead here.

316
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: Forget Farv and Reggie White. I mean, you three guys

317
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: were on the Packers together. I feel like that's forgotten. Yeah,

318
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: look how about that, Like they're like, who knew like

319
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, myself, Mike McCoy, we were all together in

320
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: fact at the time. UM Mike McCoy and I were

321
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: on the scout teams taking it on. I was still

322
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: playing wide receiver before moving to defensive back, and so

323
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: like we brought around yard a little bit challenge to

324
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: defense and do all that stuff. And so um, I'm excited.

325
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get back into town because for me,

326
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: it's like an old reunion. Like maybe they can give

327
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: me like a little whistle I can hang in the

328
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: far corner of the practice field talk to here he

329
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: goes again, Bucky's trying to, like, you know, politic for

330
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: a gig. I don't know, I necessarily want to gig,

331
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: just like a T shirt, just some Jaguar gear. And okay,

332
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you. We could we could probably make that happen.

333
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks with this NFL network analyst here on Jaguar's

334
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: Happy Hour. You know, that's the offensive side, that's priority

335
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: number one, get things right around the quarterback. But if

336
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, as he says, is gonna call plays and

337
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: be offensive guy and do all that stuff, well, the

338
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: the the defensive coordinator role is huge, and there's still

339
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of up in the air. Mike Caldwell's name was

340
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: out there early Gerald. Alexander's name came in later. I

341
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: haven't really seen a report of any resolution here, Bucky,

342
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: but Mike Caldwell's name was the lead name for a

343
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, Mike cal Will is interesting because Mike

344
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: call Will obviously worked under Doug Peterson. They have a

345
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: history together. They they've been around each other, and so

346
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: there's some familiarity with the players and so with the

347
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: player and the coaches and and all that other stuff.

348
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: And so when you think about Doug Peterson uh trying

349
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: to I guess assemble the staff, you can say he's

350
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 1: in a way trying to get the band back together.

351
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: He wants people who can kind of run this games

352
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: that he's familiar with. Now. I think Mike cal Will

353
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: is very interesting and very interesting higher because his time

354
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay put him around Thy Bowls, Thy Bowls.

355
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: As you know, the Tampa Buccaneers defense is one of

356
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: the most aggressive defenses that you will find a lot

357
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: of zone dogs, a lot of pressure from everywhere, but

358
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: they did things that allowed the corners to be safe

359
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: and coverage to be interesting to see how much is

360
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: that he would implement and Jack and Jacksonville if he

361
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: is the guy and then Gerald Alexander, I would say,

362
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: a former Jaguar, but someone I know personally, having watched

363
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: him work out, having watched him come out of boys

364
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: as a good player. UM, a guy who I must

365
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: tell you is one of the finest teachers that you

366
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: will find at the defensive back position. Um. When you

367
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: talk to the players that have been touched by Gerald

368
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: Alexander as a coach, they rave about him talking to

369
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: the players from California when they were coming out. They

370
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: just talked about how he got them ready to play.

371
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: His attention to detail and instruction is superb down in Miami,

372
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: the impact that he had in a really quick time

373
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: on the young players from a developmental standpoint. And my look,

374
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: if I had my dream list, I would like for

375
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: both of those guys to come on board because I

376
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: think there's value for both of them and what they

377
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: could add to the unit. I don't know if that

378
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 1: can happen, but I'm saying, you're talking about two very,

379
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: very good coaches. UM. I think it certainly would be

380
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: an upgrade of what we've seen previously. Is there any

381
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: hesitation there? With his just lack of NFL coaching experience,

382
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: He hasn't been in the league as a you know,

383
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: he was a dB coach the last couple of years

384
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: in Miami, but that's really been the bulk of his

385
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: time in the league. Yeah, I mean, obviously there's a

386
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: little bit of a concern, but you don't get experience

387
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: until you have opportunity. He played in the league for

388
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: a long time. I think what really helps and maybe

389
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: what will buffer some of the inexperienced in terms of

390
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: an NFL coach is that he had to do it

391
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: in college as a position coach, and so when you're

392
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: coaching college kids. We talked about the precision in the

393
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: detail that you need to uh have to to take

394
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: complex matter and make it very very sim pulled and

395
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: digestible for your eight team to twenty two year olds.

396
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: That experience could allow him to be a very a

397
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: very good teacher at the NFL level. As I said,

398
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: if we could get both of those guys on board,

399
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: I would be very very happy because I saw it

400
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: with the Miami Dolphins defense looked like I saw haw

401
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: Xavien Howard and those guys played under the two legion.

402
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: Jerald Alexander, I know he did do a fine job,

403
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: and he's a former Jaguars, so it also matters signed

404
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: them all up. Yeah, I like that. Bucky Brooks with

405
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: the NFL Network canalysts here on Jaguars Happy our special teams.

406
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: Heath Farwell a name that's been reported to the Jaguars.

407
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: He's been in Buffalo. I believe as of late, there's

408
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: a special teams group. Last year, I mean they had

409
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: some struggles and coverage. They had a couple of early

410
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: successes with the kick returns, but as the season went along,

411
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: the roster changed in the churn and all that just

412
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: didn't work out well in special teams last season. What

413
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: do you know about far A while Well, I haven't

414
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: watched far whill Um as undrafted free agent. I want

415
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: to say he came out of San Diego State. That

416
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: is my area of the country when I was scouting. Look,

417
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: this guy made a nice career for himself as a

418
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: special teamer. Uh, someone who could come down and look

419
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: really cover all the kicks, and he is taking it

420
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: and he's become an outstanding special teams coach. When you

421
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: look at what he's been able to do as assistance

422
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: with Seattle and Carolina respectively. You think about the Buffalo

423
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: Bills and their special teams, and not only their special

424
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: teams and how they play, but how they were part

425
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: of the culture that Buffalo created. Um. Special teams have

426
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: to be a special deal. It has to be important

427
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: because what you're doing is you're trying to convince a

428
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who have never necessarily participated in the

429
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: kicking game to not only participate, but to excel in

430
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: that phase. And so the special teams coach has to

431
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: be enthusiastic. He has to be a great teacher. He

432
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: has to be a great team builder because he has

433
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: to build that team together. So he far world comes

434
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: with a lot of accolades and recognition. He did a

435
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: great job in Buffalo. I would expect him to do

436
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: a great job down in Jacksonville. Bucky always appreciate the time,

437
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: you know. It kind of feels like just reading the

438
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: tea leaves and talking to people. We heard from John

439
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: Osier out there a minute ago. He's been around Radio

440
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: Row that this should be Hopefully, Tony Boselli is night

441
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: to get in the Hall of Fame. It would be

442
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: nice to finally get that done. Oh look, man, tell

443
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: me it's about time for Tony to go. Tony Um

444
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: goes and then what that does is that opens the

445
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: door for free at T and Jimmy Smith and maybe

446
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: some other guys to eventually get through the door. But

447
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: Tony Boselli um is one of the best players that

448
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: I've ever played with. I still have vivid memories of

449
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: him dominating Bruce Smith in that postseason game where we

450
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: upset them in the wild card round. Uh. Look, people

451
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: talk about the brevity of the career. I don't worry

452
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: about that. I worry about the dominance, and so if

453
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: he does get in tonight, it is well deserving. He's

454
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: one of the best players that the league has ever seen. Bucky,

455
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: thanks for the time. As always, we'll talk to you

456
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: a getting next week. Let's do it man, talk to

457
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: you Buck Brooks. NFL network analysts joining us here on

458
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours. Some thoughts about the reported coaching highers.

459
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: As we said, when this thing is finalized, maybe next week,

460
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: you can expect one big anouncement with all the coaches

461
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,800

00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,359

Speaker 1: about the Hall of Fame, like, well, we'll find out tomorrow.

514
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,080

518
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl and Radio Row. It's probably of what it

519
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: was pre COVID, um, you know, not as many stations.

520
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: But it was good. It's good to have it back.

521
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: You know, you can sense the build up and you've

522
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: been to the days before kind of each each day,

523
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: but as you get closer to the game, there's more

524
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: intensity and more exertmen. So it was good to be

525
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: out there today. Tony Basselli with us prior of the

532
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: top career highlight, Tony. Um, that's a great question, JP.

533
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: There's so many. I mean, I mean an overall over

534
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: arching highlights. Just being a part of the organization from

535
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: the beginning, you know, being the first pick and being

536
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: on the expansion team and and kind of um, having

537
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: the success we did. It was an amazing Obviously that

538
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: nineties playoff run we had with two big wins in

539
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: Buffalo into Denver. Will I'll never forget ninety We have,

540
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: you know, a great team. Unfortunately couldn't get over the

541
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: hump because of the Titans. You know, there's you know,

542
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: being able to go playing Pro Bowls and why as

543
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: a young player was remarkable. Making you know, the playoffs

544
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: four straight years was fun. You know, there's but at

545
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day. I think my favorite part

546
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: is the guys in the locker room. You know you missed,

547
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: you missed that, you know, camaraderie and getting together and

548
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: laughing at joking and and going out and competing together. So, um,

549
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot. It was a lot. It was great.

550
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: It was a lot of amazing times, um that I

551
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: had as a jaxsone Jaguar. Is that the whole of

552
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: fame calling? Do you need to get that vone call Tony?

553
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't? Is that the I thought I don't want?

554
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: I got every I got every one of their brother

555
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: in this room right now, trying to get ready, all

556
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: my kids, life, people everywhere. It's chaos in here, JP.

557
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: It's like another day at the Bassel household. I've seen

558
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: this in person before. This is how it works all

559
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: the time you've been to you've been to the house,

560
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: you've been over for holidays, so you know how it

561
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: is um around here. That's what they just called Thursday Land.

562
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: For sure. It's a normal day. Really, all happened to

563
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: be in one hotel room. So interesting. Last couple of

564
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: minutes with you will let you get on your way,

565
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: and I get a lot coming on. So you know

566
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: who was when you were coming up as a young player,

567
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: who did you look up to as a left tackle?

568
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: You know what, I want to play like this guy

569
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: who was your your guy you looked up to? Yeah,

570
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't even play offensive lignement until I

571
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: got my junior in high school. Um, you know, I

572
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: was like everyone else wanted to play order back or

573
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, defense or do something. It wasn't so my junior,

574
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: my high school coach Sam Borgana moved me the offensive line,

575
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: so I didn't even really you know, like most kids.

576
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: He watched the ball. And then I think when I

577
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: got to see I was fortunate to back my freshman year,

578
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: Pat Harlowe was the starter, and uh it was the

579
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: former first round draft picks, so I gotta watch him play.

580
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: You know. Anthony Munos was a Sea grad and obviously

581
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: that you know, my opinion, the greatest left hackle ever

582
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: played the game. You know, so I had watched tape

583
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: on him, um and kind of model my game and

584
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: see what he was doing and kind of the techniques

585
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: and so you know, And I think the biggest thing

586
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: JP is is I had great coaches. I mean the

587
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: coaches I had, Um, we're remarkable. I mentioned Sam Bugano's

588
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: my head coach in high school. Um, John Matsko, who's

589
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: still coaching in the NFL today, was my offenseive line

590
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: coach at USC. The first two years after that, it

591
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: was Mike Barry, who coached all over college and was

592
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: an amazing influence in my life. And then I got

593
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: to the pros and had another really good offensive line

594
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: coach and Mike Maze. So, you know, so much of

595
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: the things that have influenced me and contributed to whatever

596
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: success I had was I was fortunate that God put

597
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: really good people in my in my path. John Ozer

598
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: talked with Anthony Munio's yesterday, Tony, and Munio said that,

599
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, he was offered the offensive line coaching job

600
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: the year before you got to SC and didn't take it.

601
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: He said, if I had taken it, I might have

602
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: messed up. Tony was silly. I don't know if I believe.

603
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I believe that Anthony's you know, one

604
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: of the things that I always loved about watching Anthony

605
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: he was such a technician, great athlete, I mean, an

606
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: amazing athlete for a human being his size, but the

607
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: way he approached the game and how um he performed

608
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: so well because of the great technique that he had.

609
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: So I bet you he would have been an awesome coach. Um.

610
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: So I've appreciated that friendship. You know, it's kind of

611
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: growing as I got into the NFL, and uh, it

612
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: continues to grow. So he's someone I've always looked up to.

00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: Tony's a moment ago and we're asking him, hey, who'd

673
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: you watch? Whould you like? You know when you were

674
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: coming up? Anthony Monios was the name that he discussed,

675
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: and we mentioned that conversation with John Osier. Let's still

676
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: run a bit of that now. It's available on Jaguars

677
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: dot Com, the full thing. But Anthony Monos yesterday at

678
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: Radio Row with John Osier about Tony Basselli's chances of

679
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: getting in the Hall of Fame and his ability as

680
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: a player. Hopefully, Uh, it's the weight is over for Tony.

681
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 1: But you know, we talked about it all the time.

682
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: A guy's amazing player. I mean, he's a great person

683
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 1: as we all know. But uh, I had a chance

684
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: to broadcast a couple of games and you know, we've

685
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: we've I've kind of laughed over the years. Uh, I'm

686
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: glad I didn't take the job because I might have

687
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: messed him up. But he was at USC and John

688
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: Robins and offered me the offensive line job the year

689
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: after I retired and Tony was there, So maybe it

690
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: was good that I went into broadcasting and didn't coach Tony.

691
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: That would have been fun though. But yeah, the guy

692
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: is just amazing. I mean, you know the size, strange, speed, technical,

693
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: you know the technical part of it, and then you

694
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: know a little bit of the nasty streak that I like,

695
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: or maybe a lot of this, but yeah, I'm curious

696
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: to here and see what happened. So yeah, I'm a

697
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 1: big Tony fan from an x is a nose point

698
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: of view. What made him great? I mean, you play

699
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: the game as well as anybody, Well you know what

700
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: I said. I mean, not only is what six seven,

701
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, three twenty three thirty whatever he weighed, but

702
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: is you know, just the athleticism and the ability to

703
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: move out in space, you know for a big guy.

704
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, the leverage he played with and the hands

705
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: that he I mean, it's just it's everything that you'd

706
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: like to see an offensive lineman doing, especially an offensive

707
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: tackle left tackle out in space, and like I said,

708
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: he's a smart guy. I mean, you know when you

709
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: get a smart guy out there that knows how to

710
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: change it up when you're planning that that makes a

711
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: big difference. And then you know you're throwing that that

712
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: nasty streak. To me, that that is ingredients for a

713
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame tackle you How well do you know

714
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: him and what would this honor mean tunea to happen?

715
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: You know him pretty well. Uh you know again, when

716
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: he was at SC I watched him play and then

717
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. I was with ESPN at the time

718
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: and they flew me down to down to Jacksonville and

719
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: I wore sweats. He can't wore swets. We went out

720
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: in the field and they just rolled the camera and

721
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: we must have been out there for an hour and

722
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: we talked about technique, mental part of the game. I

723
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: asked him questions, he asked me questions. So I got

724
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: to know him and then just see him. You know,

725
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: there's a golf tournament that you know, just uh finished

726
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: after twenty years in Orlando and he was always there

727
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: and I always went down, so, you know, just different events,

728
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: I've had a chance to be around him and uh

729
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, I would say I know him

730
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: pretty well and uh and it would not only be

731
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: exciting to to hear that because of him and his

732
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: family and you know, of course, first of all he

733
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: was football his family and it doesn't hurt that we're

734
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: both Trojan. So have another trojan alignment that would be,

735
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, to join Ron Nix and Yarry and you know,

736
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: Bruce Matthews and myself would be pretty awesome and things

737
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: like this can to become a live sales but I've

738
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: read herd maybe even you told me once he was

739
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: as good as anybody who ever did it? Uh? Is

740
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: it fair to ask you where he ranked? You know,

741
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: it's tough because you know I put him up there,

742
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: you know, Walter Jones, I really enjoyed watching guys like

743
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: really Rope and Jonathan Ogden. Um. I'm trying to think

744
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: of some other guys, but you know, he would be

745
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: probably a handful of guys I would put up there

746
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: in the upper echelon as far as guys that when

747
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: I watched, I said, I love watching the pretty impressive

748
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: the humility there. He didn't mention himself. You're probably never one.

749
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: So uh, final question, how deserving. Would this honor be

750
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: for him? I mean, he's clearly a Hall of Fame guy. Well, no,

751
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: it's very deserving. I mean, if you know, if he

752
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: just if he gets that call or whatever, that he's

753
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: in very deserve mat because to me, it's, you know,

754
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: the deserving part of it is what you did on

755
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: the field. And I think you know, people talk about

756
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: his career wasn't Hey, there's guys that have played, you know,

757
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: and they were the best when they were playing, and

758
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. If you're one of the

759
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: best ever and one of the best play. So I

760
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: would say that deserving if he gets that call, very deserving.

761
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Monio's yesterday Hall of Fame tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals,

762

Speaker 1: Doug Peterson was in the building in fact over the weekend.

766
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: He's in the building, yes, but he was here for

767
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 1: the press conference on Saturday. After the fact, a sit

768
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: down interview one on one with Jaguars dot Com senior

769
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: correspondent Brian Sexton, and a lot of conversation about the

770
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and much more, a great opportunity to really to

771
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: really flip this organization and get it, get it back

772
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: in the direction that it that it's I know that

773
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: that Sean Khan wants to to go, and we all

774
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: wanted to go. And you know, to have have the

775
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in places obviously a key thing. And it kind

776
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: of drew me to obviously this this franchise. And then

777
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: you know, as you mentioned the draft, capital and and resources,

778
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: it's just one piece of one piece of time. You're

779
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: the first Jaguars head coach who has played the position

780
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: to quarterback. How does your experience as a player translate

781
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: to coaching the position. I just feel like I can

782
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: see it through the quarterback's eyes. You know. I was

783
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: never the starter a lot, you know, but I had

784
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: had that career backup, so I was always in a

785
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of a coaching sort of a mentor. You know,

786
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: I see the game through the quarterback's eyes, and I

787
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: think that's important to understand what they're what they're seeing

788
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: with those guys are seeing out on the football field.

789
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: And then obviously you haven't been coached by some some

790
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: great coaches and you know head coaches in my career.

791
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: It's something now that I can you know, pass on

792
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: to it to a guy like Trevor and just just

793
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: create that desire which is already there, but you want

794
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: to enhance the desire to to be great. And he

795
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: wants to be he wants to be that way. I

796
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: want that for him. And again, teams that have this

797
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: position right are the ones that have had success in

798
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: this league. And uh, you know, Jacksonville has gotten it

799
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: right doing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. How we're doing, man?

800
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: Just see how are you doing? Man? This roster I

801
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: think has some players on it, guys like Josh Allen

802
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 1: who are hidden Jim because this team hasn't had success

803
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: and people haven't seen him. Do you see some promise

804
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: in this roster or do you see? This is a

805
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: long haul job. No. I mean to me, the guys

806
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, you know, on this roster are those

807
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: guys that that are in the right spots, right positions

808
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: to be successful. And and this is the other thing

809
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: that attracted me to to this this job is the

810
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: fact that these players are hungry to win. And that's

811
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: all they want to do. They just want to play ball.

812
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: These are these are these are kids who just want

813
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: to be out there on the grass. They want to

814
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: compete and win games. And that that is a that

815
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: is a key recipe to the success in the National

816
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: Football League with teams that you see you're in a

817
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: year out, you know, vying for those for those postseason spots.

818
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: So how do you balance the need to win now? Right?

819
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: The owner told the media and Jacksonville weeks ago, months ago. Now, uh,

820
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: you know, even want a five year plan. He wanted

821
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: to win um and you just talked about the importance

822
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: of that, but you have to be future focused also,

823
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 1: how do you balance that? It's it's a fine line.

824
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: It's really a fine line. Listen. I want to win.

825
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 1: I want to win tomorrow. You know. It's it's something

826
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: that that that we get into this business to win

827
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: football games. That's where we get hired, right and and

828
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: really that's the reason sometimes we get fired. We just

829
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: don't we don't win enough games. But to me, the

830
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: foundations here and now you just build upon that right

831
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: with with the coaching staff and the front office and

832
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: obviously again as we talked with it with the quarterback,

833
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: and you just you just start chipping away at it,

834
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: and it's and it's a it's a it's a methodical process.

835
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: But then then comes the day when when everything kind

836
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: of is that aha moment and the light kind of

837
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: turns on. And then when it does, that's that's a

838
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: beautiful thing when that happens, because your team's your team's

839
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: united um and you start winning games. Having a portion

840
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: of the conversation, the full sit down available on Jaguars

841
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: dot Com. Doug Peterson and Jaguars dot Com senior correspondent

842
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, it was a it was a fun saturday

843
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: at t I A. Bank Field, have Peterson in the

844
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: building taking a look around for the first time. The

845
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: press conference upstairs in the West Club. We had the

846
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: live coverage on Jaguars dot com pregame show, and then

847
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: Peterson joined us right after the fact, and I got

848
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: to get in his head a little bit. And he's

849
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: been right after busy, of course, with all the reports

850
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: coming out of these assistant coach hires taking place, reports

851
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: that they're in the building already, some of these guys

852
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: already getting to work behind a little bit after a

853
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: linky search. But as Doug Peterson was saying during the

854
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: press conference, he's quite confident that, um, this thing should

855
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: get done pretty quickly, at least on the on the

856
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: coaching side. And as we said earlier, once it's all

857
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: hired and close to done, you can expect one big

858
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: announcement the entire coaching staff on that. And the next

859
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: question is what happens with the executive vice president roll

860
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: that shot Khan discussed during the press conference there out

861
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: to the league. They've apparently got some interviews lined up. Uh,

862
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: that will be in the next couple of weeks time.

863
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: I think the next big storyline for the Jaguars today, though,

864
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: of course, is Tony Basselli Day. Let's see tonight nine

865
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: o'clock the NFL Honor Show is on NFL Network, ESPN

866
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: Plus and ABC. That's when they'll announce the Modern Era

867
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: electees from the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of two,

868
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: and we hope Tony Boselli is a part of that.

869
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: We heard from Tony coming up. A couple of other

870
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars notes today. Are there reports this morning that Tony

871
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: Khan was preparing a run for Congress, Well those are false.

872
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: Tony Khan came out on Twitter himself with a wrestling

873
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: style tweet if you will, and said the fact checking

874
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: standard of Pro Football Talk reporting is far lower than

875
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: that of a w's roving reporter Tony Schivanni. I'm definitely

876
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: not running for Congress. This filing is faker than Eddie

877
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: Gilbert's apology to Tommy rich In. I don't know what

878
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: that means, but they have it from Tony Khan's mouth

879
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: to your ears. Uh. He is not running for Congress

880
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: in District number four, he said so himself today. Real news, though,

881
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are headed back to Wimbley Stadium. As part

882
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: of the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference yesterday, he

883
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: announced two games are actually four games coming up in Germany,

884
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: including this year in Munich, and of course the league

885
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: has two games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium already on the

886
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: books in London. The Jaguars, not long after that announcement,

887
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: announced that they will play at Wimbley Stadium in two

888
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: and return to a place where they started playing games

889
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: in the Jaguars and they've gone every year since they

890
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: missed the COVID year of last season they win as

891
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: part of the NFL package at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to

892
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: play the Dolphins there and got the win on the

893
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: long field goals at the end of the game to

894
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: get that done. Next season back to Wembley Stadium. We'll

895
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: see what the future holds as well, but as of

896
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: now the game announced um the schedule and the opponents

897
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: will be announced closer to if not right at the

898
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: schedule announcement, which usually is right around the draft, but

899
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: you can probably expect that in early May here in

900
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: the campaign. So this year the NFL is scheduled to

901
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: have five International Series games, three in London, the one

902
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: at Wembley, into at Tottenham Hotspur, one in Germany and

903
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: Munich and then Mexico City will host a game as well,

904
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: and each team around the league starting with this season

905
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: will have a rotation of games over a number of

906
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: years in International Series games, so everybody will be involved

907
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: at least at some point. Moving ahead, the Jaguars of

908
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 1: course will be involved, it feels like most every year

909
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: moving ahead, and certainly this year at Wimbley Stadium, the

910
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: national stadium in England. The first year for the Jags

911
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: of course back in as we said, missed out in

912
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: so the you have it that's the biggest news of

913
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: the week of course tonight. Uh, let's all cross our

914
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: fingers for Tony Basselli. He sounded confident there. You know,

915
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: he's got the family there and we'll see what the

916
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: official word is coming out. The accolades we know are

917
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: all there. Um. We we've heard about him for years

918
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:33,280
