0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>A for a couple of days. He joins us now

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>from Radio Row at Super Bowl fifty six. John, Good,

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>afternoon to you. What's happening on radio road at day. Well,

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of talk as you know from JP, I mean,

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>as you know from being around this JP, but uh

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.799
<v Speaker 1>from for our world, for the Jaguars people who were here,

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Havanaugh, Dave Buchanis and myself. We're here for the

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>announcement of Tony Biselli. We're hoping as you said at

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the top of the show February two, twenty two, what

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you hope is that this is a landmark day for

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.239
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars, because that's really what it would be. It

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>would be a great day for Tony. He deserves it,

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 1>but it would be the Jaguars first Hall of Famer.

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>That'd be cool. It's a big deal obviously, the first

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:37.359
<v Speaker 1>draft pick and enfranchise history, five time Pro Bowl or

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>three time First Team All Pro, the shortened career because

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>of shoulder issues. But everyone you talk to, most everybody

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you talked to who either played against him one on

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>one or played with him, know that in that window,

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>he was the best player in football at that position.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Especially well. I was fortunate enough JP to cover I

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>think all but maybe three or four of Tony's games

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I let in two thousand. Uh, he played a little

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>bit in two thousand and one, but I saw the

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>great majority of his career. In addition to that, I

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of that time during that time covering

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars for the paper for the Full Times Union,

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>So I talked to people about Tony. Uh. You know,

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess we're a little biased, but to me and

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to many many others, he was the best left tackle

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.519
<v Speaker 1>in what many people consider the Golden era of the position.

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Orlando paces I played at the same time, uh, Willie

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Rove played at the same time, UH, Jonathan Ogden played.

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Those guys are in. Tony was first Team All Pro

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>three years in a row during that time with those

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>guys in the league. That's the bell market the position.

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what shows you who is the best. Tony was

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the best I ever saw play the position. Many others agree, Uh,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I think this is his time. And what's interesting, JP,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about a lot amongst ourselves, amongst Jaguars fans,

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't always work out that that first pick of

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a franchise who's supposed to be the cornerstone, is the cornerstone.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>He was the cornerstone. How fitting would be if he's

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the first and I think he will be. John Os,

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you're joining us from Radio Row at Super Bowl fifty

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>six in Los Angeles. Well, the process we've gone through

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 1>a few times now, this process with Tony being in

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the finalists, he's obviously the last five years or so

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 1>actually now six years as a finalist, the last five

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>have been on the top ten. That means he's gotten

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>through the first cut of the finalists in that room.

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>We'll see where it goes tonight. But I mean, that's

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of close calls. There have been a

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>number of first ballot players. Clark Judge wrote an article

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>today uh talking to he's one of the electors, and

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>said there were ten first ballot choices the last four years,

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 1>and there was a run of offensive lineman. Of course

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 1>we talked about Fantica, Hutchinson and Maai. Those are all

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>gone now. So this seems like as good a year

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>as any. This seems like the year. I've written about

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>it and talked about it so much that I know

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>people who have to listen to me a lot get

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>tired of saying it. Hudgenson, Fannik and Malay and miss

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Elli were the four or four or five years ago

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that every voter you talked to. And I'm fortunate enough

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to have known a lot of Hall voters for a

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>long time, so I talked to him on and off

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the record about it. All of them said, all four

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>of those guys will eventually get in. The people who

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>are in the room and vote, they study this process.

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>They know how it works. Tony has been. I think

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you said JP top ten five years in a row.

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Very rare for guys to get that close and not

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 1>eventually get in, because if you're getting that kind of vote,

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of people in the room who

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>firmly believe you're a Hall of Famer. I've never talked

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to anybody who thinks he doesn't deserve to be in.

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>These votes can come down to circumstance, two votes to

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>other players getting votes. Everybody I've talked to thinks this

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 1>is Tony's year. I'm more confident than I ever have been.

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.159
<v Speaker 1>I'd be surprised if it's not, but we'll see. Jaguars

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>dot Com Senior writer John Os, you're joining us from

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles. I loved your conversation with Anthony Monio's earlier

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>this week. Gets on Jaguars dot Com right now. Hall

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>of Fame player. Of course, his team is in the

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowls. A lot of folks want his thoughts on

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>what the Bengals are doing this week, but your conversation

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 1>with him was mainly about Tony Boselli, and he has

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>him right up there at the top of that class

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>as well. Of those players that played in the mid

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to late nineties. Yeah, and Anthony has been quoted before

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>say any things, Tony was the best ever better than him.

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that's some humility. Most people set Moonios as

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the gold standard of the position. But he shared a

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>story in that conversation of him coming down when he

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>was working for ESPN and doing a very good piece

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>on Tony when Tony was in his prime n or

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven. As he's relaying that story, I can remember

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>as a reporter for the Times Union talking to Monos

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>when he was in town at that point, maybe it

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>was ninety seven, and Munio's detailing how he believed Tony

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>was better, how how he believed Tony had the potential

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and was going to be and maybe even was the

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>best to ever play the position at that point. Uh,

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Moonio's absolutely believes he should be in. Uh. There's a

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>fraternity of great left tackles who have played the position

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 1>over the years. Pace we mentioned Ogden, Munos is one

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>of them. Those guys already see Tony as one of them.

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>He's in their fraternity. But you sort of need that

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>gold jacket to be in in that fraternity. And j P,

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>as I've told you before, the only problem with given

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Tony a gold jacket is he'll never take it off? No,

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>never will. Well, he'll be wearing that thing everywhere, and

0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>of all the busts in that room and Canton, he'll

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 1>have the just bronze bust of them all. We know

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that for sure he won't be able to make it

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>back out of the road. And I don't think so. No,

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>John Osy with us from Radio Row. It's Super Bowl

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 1>FI in Los Angeles, California. So all right, what does

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the day whole? It's a nine o'clock

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Eastern time show tonight eight seven, six o'clock Pacific time.

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Do they have do you know what time do the

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>players find out? We'll ask Tony coming up a little

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>more of the detail of that, But what do you

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>have the rest of the day to cover? Just sort

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>of waiting on it. We'll go to the press conference

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.719
<v Speaker 1>that follows it, hoping to beat Uh. You know, I've

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>joked all day. What I want to not do tonight

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is have to do sort of the cheek click interview

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 1>where you go here we are again, Tony, because I've

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>done that four or five years in a row. I've

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 1>I've lived through seeing his family so disappointed. Uh, and

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.959
<v Speaker 1>you know it's it's tough. I mean, it's an emotional moment.

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>So from that point of view, he's lived through that

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>disappointment so much that you hope it happens for him.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>For us, we'll be at the press conference, we'll be waiting,

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll have a stream live on on Jaguars dot Com.

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>People can watch it there, and then we'll have the

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>reaction from him afterward, which I hope is a happy reaction.

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>That would be for sure nice. Uh was he he

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>was around Radio Row I heard today right making the

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>rounds as usual. He was. I spoke to him for

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>a few minutes, and then he was, you're talking to

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different people about it, and uh, I

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>think he feels good about it, and he's hopeful, and uh,

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>he reads the t leaves like everybody else, but he

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>also knows that there's nothing guaranteed in this process. John, Hey,

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>what's up? John Ozier with us from super Bowl Radio

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Row in Los Angeles. You know, this is Tony Boselli day.

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully we'll hear that call tonight when he's announced as

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>a Class of Pro Football Hall of Famer. What's the

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 1>general reaction there about the Doug Peterson hiring, You've been

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>able to kind of make the rounds of the room

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.439
<v Speaker 1>there all positive for the most part. Yeah, he's positive.

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I talked to uh Adam Kaplan yesterday who knows Philadelphia

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>sports as well as anybody, and talked to Brian Baldinger

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>from the NFL Network. Uh the vibe is good. There's

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of well, you know, it's it would be

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>hard for it to be a step back because it

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 1>was a tough year last year, so there's a lot

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of that as well. I think overall people nationally and

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 1>people who knows who know the NFL, no Doug. They

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>know what he's about, they know he can handle the job.

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>They have the same vibe JP that you and I

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>got from talking to him after the press conference on Saturday.

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>He's a professional coach, he knows what, he knows what

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>he's doing. The word you keep hearing about him is

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a great collaborator. That's sort of what we heard on Saturday.

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Somebody who can bring the building together, who can coach

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>his coaches, who players are going to believe in. All

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of those things that you heard leading up to it

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>are things that you hear now that's what the franchise needs,

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 1>and it feels like he's that guy. John. Thanks for

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the time and enjoy the rest of the day. And uh,

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.559

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.360

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.080

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>ration play more ahead on Jaguars Happy Hour return with

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks, and we'll get into some

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of these Jaguars assistant coaches being reported, and this is

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. You know,

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.679
<v Speaker 1>I think what really strikes players is that Doug is

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a judguine guy and he doesn't put on airs, and

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's that resume with players, and really that's

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>what it's all about here. There's no He'll say in

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot if you guys will say that there's no

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 1>more team game than a football team. In a game

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 1>like that, I mean, you have to get everybody to

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>buy in. Whatever your role is, do your job, do

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>your job the best. If everybody knows their job great,

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.079
<v Speaker 1>then you're gonna have a lot of success. And that's

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>really what Doug Peter does all. I think his motivation

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know the thing about Dougnans Philly, well we

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>look at the Super Bowl win. He loved playoff appearances

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>after that. It wasn't easy in those three seasons. I

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.439
<v Speaker 1>mean one of the themes in his time here was

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a ton of injuries and Doug always was able to

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>write the shift, the shift, stay calm, make sure that

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the next man up was prepared to play football, and

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>you know by large and Jill's Eagles chef winning football

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>games and reaching the fall season. That is Dave Spidero

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Eagles insider on the new Jaguars head coach. Of course,

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Doug Peterson was a player in Philly. He was an

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>assistant coach in Philadelphia, the head coach of the Eagles

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>who finally got them to the mountain top and a

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl championship. And welcome back, It's Jaguars Happy Hour.

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.359
<v Speaker 1>The full conversation was pedero available on Jaguars dot Com.

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's go back to Los Angeles now and welcome in

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks joining us from your home studio.

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>That you know, Bucky, the Super bowls in your town

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 1>right now, right it is in my town. It is

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a zoo down there. L a

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>live in the convention center with everything that's going on.

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Radio Row is in full earnest and popping on a Thursday.

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.079
<v Speaker 1>I decided because of all that, I think we're going

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to stay at the house today. We're gonna avoid some

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 1>of the rat race and I'm just gonna hang out

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>with Way for JP to carr Well I mean you,

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you live the rat race every day. Let's be honest

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>with you. You're all over the place. You've got you've

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>got radio, you've got TV, you've got all these The

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>mock draft season is here. I mean you, you are

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>in the rat race every day. Yeah. Look, I'm in

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>the middle of it right now. It's a bit of

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a transition because it's the end of one as we

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>know it with the Super Bowl culminating the end of

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the season, but it's the beginning of two. And so

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>if we think about it from a Jaguars perspective, now

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>that we have to hear coaching place, we're getting to

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 1>put the piece of the coaching staff together. Now we

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>can start looking at those mob drafts with a little

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>reality based sense and feel for who could be the

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>next airs and so now seeing any time because remember JP,

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of weeks we met Indianapolis at the Combine,

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and I know that you've already made a reservations so

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>we can go eat at a couple of fine establishments

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and you get the credit card are all paid down,

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>so we can we can have a good time. I'm

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to It's gonna be a blast. Yeah. The

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>expense report. I'd like to apologize in advance for what's

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen in Indianapolis. Bucky Brooks with us NFL network analysts.

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>All Right, so the Jaguars have reportedly come to terms

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>with a number of assistant coaches. The word is when

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>it's done. Maybe next week they'll have one full announcement

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 1>with everybody on the list together. But today the most

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>recent name has been out there is Press Taylor, offensive coordinator,

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 1>reportedly coming to terms with the Jaguars. And you know,

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Zach Taylor's brother first of all, and has a history

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>with Doug Peterson in Philadelphia. He is the guy responsible

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>for the Philly Special. How about that, Bucky? How about

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>how about that? I think when you think about Press Taylor,

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I think we probably should examine all of those moves

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>around the quarterback together. So as Press Taylor as the

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator, it's Mike McCoy as the quarterback coach, and

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>then as Doug Peterson as the ultimate play caller. Well,

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Press Taylor and Doug Peterson obviously have a history having

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 1>worked there together. And so the one thing that we

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 1>know is that there's going to be synergy. The verbiage

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and the language is going to be the same for

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback. Everybody is going to be in alignment with

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCoy. What you have is UM one, you have

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a guy who played like Doug Peterson, Mike McCoy and myself.

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>We're all on the Green Bay Packers in the mid nineties.

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Mike mccorby was on the practice squad, and so you

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>have that connection and synergy between guys who know one another,

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>who were in the same quarterback room, who understand how

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the position should be taught. And so when you think

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>about trying to create that that that synergy from top

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to bottom, meaning everyone who touched the quarterback is saying

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the same things. And so there's no confusion in terms

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of drills, instruction, schematics, all of that stuff is together.

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And so I love it the way that they're putting

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>it together. You know, I think we buried the lead here.

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Forget Farv and Reggie White. I mean, you three guys

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 1>were on the Packers together. I feel like that's forgotten. Yeah,

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 1>look how about that, Like they're like, who knew like

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Doug Peterson, myself, Mike McCoy, we were all together in

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 1>fact at the time. UM Mike McCoy and I were

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>on the scout teams taking it on. I was still

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 1>playing wide receiver before moving to defensive back, and so

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.639
<v Speaker 1>like we brought around yard a little bit challenge to

0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 1>defense and do all that stuff. And so um, I'm excited.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to get back into town because for me,

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like an old reunion. Like maybe they can give

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 1>me like a little whistle I can hang in the

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.399
<v Speaker 1>far corner of the practice field talk to here he

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 1>goes again, Bucky's trying to, like, you know, politic for

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a gig. I don't know, I necessarily want to gig,

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>just like a T shirt, just some Jaguar gear. And okay,

0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you. We could we could probably make that happen.

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Bucky Brooks with this NFL network analyst here on Jaguar's

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Happy Hour. You know, that's the offensive side, that's priority

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>number one, get things right around the quarterback. But if

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.159
<v Speaker 1>Doug Peterson, as he says, is gonna call plays and

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>be offensive guy and do all that stuff, well, the

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.919
<v Speaker 1>the the defensive coordinator role is huge, and there's still

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of up in the air. Mike Caldwell's name was

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 1>out there early Gerald. Alexander's name came in later. I

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>haven't really seen a report of any resolution here, Bucky,

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.399
<v Speaker 1>but Mike Caldwell's name was the lead name for a

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.439
<v Speaker 1>long time. Yeah, Mike cal Will is interesting because Mike

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 1>call Will obviously worked under Doug Peterson. They have a

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:41.159
<v Speaker 1>history together. They they've been around each other, and so

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 1>there's some familiarity with the players and so with the

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>player and the coaches and and all that other stuff.

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.879
<v Speaker 1>And so when you think about Doug Peterson uh trying

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>to I guess assemble the staff, you can say he's

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:54.959
<v Speaker 1>in a way trying to get the band back together.

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 1>He wants people who can kind of run this games

0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that he's familiar with. Now. I think Mike cal Will

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>is very interesting and very interesting higher because his time

0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 1>at Tampa Bay put him around Thy Bowls, Thy Bowls.

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 1>As you know, the Tampa Buccaneers defense is one of

0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the most aggressive defenses that you will find a lot

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.359
<v Speaker 1>of zone dogs, a lot of pressure from everywhere, but

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>they did things that allowed the corners to be safe

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and coverage to be interesting to see how much is

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.879
<v Speaker 1>that he would implement and Jack and Jacksonville if he

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.880
<v Speaker 1>is the guy and then Gerald Alexander, I would say,

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a former Jaguar, but someone I know personally, having watched

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 1>him work out, having watched him come out of boys

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>as a good player. UM, a guy who I must

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>tell you is one of the finest teachers that you

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>will find at the defensive back position. Um. When you

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to the players that have been touched by Gerald

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Alexander as a coach, they rave about him talking to

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.639
<v Speaker 1>the players from California when they were coming out. They

0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 1>just talked about how he got them ready to play.

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>His attention to detail and instruction is superb down in Miami,

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 1>the impact that he had in a really quick time

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 1>on the young players from a developmental standpoint. And my look,

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>if I had my dream list, I would like for

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>both of those guys to come on board because I

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:10.400
<v Speaker 1>think there's value for both of them and what they

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 1>could add to the unit. I don't know if that

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.719
<v Speaker 1>can happen, but I'm saying, you're talking about two very,

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>very good coaches. UM. I think it certainly would be

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.880
<v Speaker 1>an upgrade of what we've seen previously. Is there any

0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>hesitation there? With his just lack of NFL coaching experience,

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:26.600
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't been in the league as a you know,

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>he was a dB coach the last couple of years

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 1>in Miami, but that's really been the bulk of his

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.159
<v Speaker 1>time in the league. Yeah, I mean, obviously there's a

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a concern, but you don't get experience

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 1>until you have opportunity. He played in the league for

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>a long time. I think what really helps and maybe

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.119
<v Speaker 1>what will buffer some of the inexperienced in terms of

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>an NFL coach is that he had to do it

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>in college as a position coach, and so when you're

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.560
<v Speaker 1>coaching college kids. We talked about the precision in the

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:57.400
<v Speaker 1>detail that you need to uh have to to take

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>complex matter and make it very very sim pulled and

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 1>digestible for your eight team to twenty two year olds.

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.359
<v Speaker 1>That experience could allow him to be a very a

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 1>very good teacher at the NFL level. As I said,

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 1>if we could get both of those guys on board,

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I would be very very happy because I saw it

0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 1>with the Miami Dolphins defense looked like I saw haw

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Xavien Howard and those guys played under the two legion.

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Jerald Alexander, I know he did do a fine job,

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and he's a former Jaguars, so it also matters signed

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 1>them all up. Yeah, I like that. Bucky Brooks with

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Network canalysts here on Jaguars Happy our special teams.

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Heath Farwell a name that's been reported to the Jaguars.

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.120
<v Speaker 1>He's been in Buffalo. I believe as of late, there's

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>a special teams group. Last year, I mean they had

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 1>some struggles and coverage. They had a couple of early

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 1>successes with the kick returns, but as the season went along,

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>the roster changed in the churn and all that just

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't work out well in special teams last season. What

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.400
<v Speaker 1>do you know about far A while Well, I haven't

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>watched far whill Um as undrafted free agent. I want

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to say he came out of San Diego State. That

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>is my area of the country when I was scouting. Look,

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:02.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy made a nice career for himself as a

0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>special teamer. Uh, someone who could come down and look

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>really cover all the kicks, and he is taking it

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and he's become an outstanding special teams coach. When you

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:14.800
<v Speaker 1>look at what he's been able to do as assistance

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.000
<v Speaker 1>with Seattle and Carolina respectively. You think about the Buffalo

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Bills and their special teams, and not only their special

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.160
<v Speaker 1>teams and how they play, but how they were part

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 1>of the culture that Buffalo created. Um. Special teams have

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to be a special deal. It has to be important

0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 1>because what you're doing is you're trying to convince a

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>bunch of guys who have never necessarily participated in the

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 1>kicking game to not only participate, but to excel in

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 1>that phase. And so the special teams coach has to

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>be enthusiastic. He has to be a great teacher. He

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.719
<v Speaker 1>has to be a great team builder because he has

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to build that team together. So he far world comes

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:50.800
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of accolades and recognition. He did a

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>great job in Buffalo. I would expect him to do

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a great job down in Jacksonville. Bucky always appreciate the time,

0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.280
<v Speaker 1>you know. It kind of feels like just reading the

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>tea leaves and talking to people. We heard from John

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Osier out there a minute ago. He's been around Radio

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Row that this should be Hopefully, Tony Boselli is night

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:08.679
<v Speaker 1>to get in the Hall of Fame. It would be

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.680
<v Speaker 1>nice to finally get that done. Oh look, man, tell

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.440
<v Speaker 1>me it's about time for Tony to go. Tony Um

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 1>goes and then what that does is that opens the

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 1>door for free at T and Jimmy Smith and maybe

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 1>some other guys to eventually get through the door. But

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Tony Boselli um is one of the best players that

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.159
<v Speaker 1>I've ever played with. I still have vivid memories of

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.600
<v Speaker 1>him dominating Bruce Smith in that postseason game where we

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 1>upset them in the wild card round. Uh. Look, people

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about the brevity of the career. I don't worry

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:35.480
<v Speaker 1>about that. I worry about the dominance, and so if

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 1>he does get in tonight, it is well deserving. He's

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the best players that the league has ever seen. Bucky,

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 1>thanks for the time. As always, we'll talk to you

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a getting next week. Let's do it man, talk to

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:49.919
<v Speaker 1>you Buck Brooks. NFL network analysts joining us here on

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars Happy Hours. Some thoughts about the reported coaching highers.

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 1>As we said, when this thing is finalized, maybe next week,

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:02.040
<v Speaker 1>you can expect one big anouncement with all the coaches

0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 1>on one and maybe some availability of possibly the coordinators.

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 1>That's down the road a little bit. Still a little

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 1>work to be done on the Jaguars coaching staff in

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the days ahead. We're back in a moment, and we

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 1>are out to Tony Basselli. Yes, the man of the hour.

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Can he get into the Hall of Fame tonight? The

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 1>announcement comes to NFL Honors tonight. We'll hear from Tony

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.520

<v Speaker 1>You know, Honor showed tonight that they change the order

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. In the past, they that honors the

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 1>night before the Super Bowl. Now they moved it up.

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's just kind of kicking off the Hall

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:46.120
<v Speaker 1>of Fame week, Tony. So take us through the process.

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.840

0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:53.000

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:56.359

0:25:56.400 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 1>what's your process the next few hours? Yeah? They change it.

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean the you know, the process is different. They

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, taking account for COVID, making sure everything you

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 1>know safe and everything else. So um, they're really trying

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:13.520

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:15.360

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:18.439
<v Speaker 1>I'll be heading over there and we will see how

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>it goes. Well, you'll find out. What do you get there?

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.720
<v Speaker 1>You just gotta go and just go blind and then

0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, either you're in or you're out.

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:30.120
<v Speaker 1>How about that it'll be. It's it'll be. It's gonna

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:33.120
<v Speaker 1>be a fun night. Yeah, I like that for sure.

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Tony Boselli with us. I heard you made the media

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 1>rouse today on Radio Row. You do that most years.

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, in the years past you've been involved with

0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the broadcast on Westwood One. Not this year, but with

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:46.439
<v Speaker 1>the Hall of Fame stuff. I'm sure you're a popular

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 1>guy today on Radio Row. Yeah, it was a busy one.

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:52.359
<v Speaker 1>It was good. Um. It's funny. A lot of questions

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:54.680
<v Speaker 1>about the Hall of Fame, like, well, we'll find out tomorrow.

0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I think some of them wish I would have come

0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow and not today so that the you know, more

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>details around the whole thing. Um. But yeah, it's it's

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>almost back to normal JP. I guess you know, the

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl and Radio Row. It's probably of what it

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:14.199
<v Speaker 1>was pre COVID, um, you know, not as many stations.

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:17.120
<v Speaker 1>But it was good. It's good to have it back.

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can sense the build up and you've

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 1>been to the days before kind of each each day,

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 1>but as you get closer to the game, there's more

0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 1>intensity and more exertmen. So it was good to be

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>out there today. Tony Basselli with us prior of the

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:34.679
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars left tackle finalists for the Pro Pro Football Hall

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 1>of Fame. We'll find out tonight NFL Honors Show nine

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 1>o'clock on ABC, ESPN Plus and NFL Network. Uh, you know,

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's talk big picture Tony Boselli career stuff,

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 1>since this is the Tony Basselli day to do that

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and we don't do that a lot. What is your

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>top career highlight, Tony. Um, that's a great question, JP.

0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>There's so many. I mean, I mean an overall over

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:03.040
<v Speaker 1>arching highlights. Just being a part of the organization from

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the beginning, you know, being the first pick and being

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 1>on the expansion team and and kind of um, having

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the success we did. It was an amazing Obviously that

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 1>nineties playoff run we had with two big wins in

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo into Denver. Will I'll never forget ninety We have,

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:22.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, a great team. Unfortunately couldn't get over the

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>hump because of the Titans. You know, there's you know,

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:29.919
<v Speaker 1>being able to go playing Pro Bowls and why as

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 1>a young player was remarkable. Making you know, the playoffs

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:36.919
<v Speaker 1>four straight years was fun. You know, there's but at

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day. I think my favorite part

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>is the guys in the locker room. You know you missed,

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you missed that, you know, camaraderie and getting together and

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:47.200
<v Speaker 1>laughing at joking and and going out and competing together. So, um,

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot. It was a lot. It was great.

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 1>It was a lot of amazing times, um that I

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:54.440
<v Speaker 1>had as a jaxsone Jaguar. Is that the whole of

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 1>fame calling? Do you need to get that vone call Tony?

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't? Is that the I thought I don't want?

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I got every I got every one of their brother

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 1>in this room right now, trying to get ready, all

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 1>my kids, life, people everywhere. It's chaos in here, JP.

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like another day at the Bassel household. I've seen

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 1>this in person before. This is how it works all

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the time you've been to you've been to the house,

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 1>you've been over for holidays, so you know how it

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:28.880
<v Speaker 1>is um around here. That's what they just called Thursday Land.

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 1>For sure. It's a normal day. Really, all happened to

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>be in one hotel room. So interesting. Last couple of

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>minutes with you will let you get on your way,

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and I get a lot coming on. So you know

0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 1>who was when you were coming up as a young player,

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>who did you look up to as a left tackle?

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what, I want to play like this guy

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 1>who was your your guy you looked up to? Yeah,

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean I didn't even play offensive lignement until I

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 1>got my junior in high school. Um, you know, I

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>was like everyone else wanted to play order back or

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, defense or do something. It wasn't so my junior,

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>my high school coach Sam Borgana moved me the offensive line,

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't even really you know, like most kids.

0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:11.960
<v Speaker 1>He watched the ball. And then I think when I

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 1>got to see I was fortunate to back my freshman year,

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Pat Harlowe was the starter, and uh it was the

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 1>former first round draft picks, so I gotta watch him play.

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 1>You know. Anthony Munos was a Sea grad and obviously

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that you know, my opinion, the greatest left hackle ever

0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 1>played the game. You know, so I had watched tape

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:32.560
<v Speaker 1>on him, um and kind of model my game and

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 1>see what he was doing and kind of the techniques

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, And I think the biggest thing

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:39.640
<v Speaker 1>JP is is I had great coaches. I mean the

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 1>coaches I had, Um, we're remarkable. I mentioned Sam Bugano's

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:48.360
<v Speaker 1>my head coach in high school. Um, John Matsko, who's

0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>still coaching in the NFL today, was my offenseive line

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>coach at USC. The first two years after that, it

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 1>was Mike Barry, who coached all over college and was

0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>an amazing influence in my life. And then I got

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to the pros and had another really good offensive line

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 1>coach and Mike Maze. So, you know, so much of

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the things that have influenced me and contributed to whatever

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>success I had was I was fortunate that God put

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>really good people in my in my path. John Ozer

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:19.240
<v Speaker 1>talked with Anthony Munio's yesterday, Tony, and Munio said that,

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was offered the offensive line coaching job

0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the year before you got to SC and didn't take it.

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 1>He said, if I had taken it, I might have

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:29.040
<v Speaker 1>messed up. Tony was silly. I don't know if I believe.

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I believe that Anthony's you know, one

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of the things that I always loved about watching Anthony

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:38.160
<v Speaker 1>he was such a technician, great athlete, I mean, an

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 1>amazing athlete for a human being his size, but the

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 1>way he approached the game and how um he performed

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 1>so well because of the great technique that he had.

0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 1>So I bet you he would have been an awesome coach. Um.

0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>So I've appreciated that friendship. You know, it's kind of

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 1>growing as I got into the NFL, and uh, it

0:31:57.480 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 1>continues to grow. So he's someone I've always looked up to.

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 1>He's great players, great, he's a great person, great husband, father, um,

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:07.760
<v Speaker 1>And so having him on say nice things about you

0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:09.959
<v Speaker 1>is always a pretty cool thing. All right, Tony, We'll

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:11.600
<v Speaker 1>leave you this is It may not be a fair

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.200
<v Speaker 1>question for you, but you're here, so I'm gonna ask

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you what would what would this mean for first off,

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars organization having the first Hall of Fame player

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 1>in franchise history. And what would it mean for the

0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 1>city of Jacksonville and Jaguars fans to to finally have

0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:33.200
<v Speaker 1>somebody with a bronze bust in Canton. Um. I mean

0:32:33.240 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 1>they there's probab others that could answer that better than

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I can. But I'll say this, I'll be proud to

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>represent the Jaguar fans, the organization in our great city

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 1>of Jacksonville. And so they've always been good to me,

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:47.719
<v Speaker 1>JP always been so supportive in this whole process when

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I was a player, when I got hurt, it may

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 1>have been amazing. I mean, it's one of the reasons

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I choose to live in Jacksonville and raise my family

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and and and do life. So, UM, I hope, I

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 1>hope I can do him proud. I hope that, UM,

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:02.000
<v Speaker 1>if it goes the way we all hope it goes, that,

0:33:02.080 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they'll be excited because they're a big part of it. Um,

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:06.920

<v Speaker 1>will be announced tonight, and hopefully Tony Basselli is one

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:07.879
<v Speaker 1>of those. We heard from Tony just a moment ago

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:11.240
<v Speaker 1>or thanks to John Osier as well and Bucky Brooks

0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:14.399
<v Speaker 1>who joined us from Los Angeles. We we talked to

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Tony's a moment ago and we're asking him, hey, who'd

0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you watch? Whould you like? You know when you were

0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:23.320
<v Speaker 1>coming up? Anthony Monios was the name that he discussed,

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.439
<v Speaker 1>and we mentioned that conversation with John Osier. Let's still

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:28.960
<v Speaker 1>run a bit of that now. It's available on Jaguars

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 1>dot Com, the full thing. But Anthony Monos yesterday at

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Radio Row with John Osier about Tony Basselli's chances of

0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>getting in the Hall of Fame and his ability as

0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a player. Hopefully, Uh, it's the weight is over for Tony.

0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:45.959
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we talked about it all the time.

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:48.440
<v Speaker 1>A guy's amazing player. I mean, he's a great person

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:50.479
<v Speaker 1>as we all know. But uh, I had a chance

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>to broadcast a couple of games and you know, we've

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we've I've kind of laughed over the years. Uh, I'm

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:57.319
<v Speaker 1>glad I didn't take the job because I might have

0:35:57.320 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 1>messed him up. But he was at USC and John

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Robins and offered me the offensive line job the year

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:05.080
<v Speaker 1>after I retired and Tony was there, So maybe it

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:07.600
<v Speaker 1>was good that I went into broadcasting and didn't coach Tony.

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:10.040
<v Speaker 1>That would have been fun though. But yeah, the guy

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>is just amazing. I mean, you know the size, strange, speed, technical,

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:15.360
<v Speaker 1>you know the technical part of it, and then you

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 1>know a little bit of the nasty streak that I like,

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.800
<v Speaker 1>or maybe a lot of this, but yeah, I'm curious

0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to here and see what happened. So yeah, I'm a

0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:24.439
<v Speaker 1>big Tony fan from an x is a nose point

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:26.759
<v Speaker 1>of view. What made him great? I mean, you play

0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:28.719
<v Speaker 1>the game as well as anybody, Well you know what

0:36:28.800 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I said. I mean, not only is what six seven,

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, three twenty three thirty whatever he weighed, but

0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:35.759
<v Speaker 1>is you know, just the athleticism and the ability to

0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 1>move out in space, you know for a big guy.

0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, the leverage he played with and the hands

0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 1>that he I mean, it's just it's everything that you'd

0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 1>like to see an offensive lineman doing, especially an offensive

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:49.480
<v Speaker 1>tackle left tackle out in space, and like I said,

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.279
<v Speaker 1>he's a smart guy. I mean, you know when you

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:53.120
<v Speaker 1>get a smart guy out there that knows how to

0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>change it up when you're planning that that makes a

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:58.920
<v Speaker 1>big difference. And then you know you're throwing that that

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 1>nasty streak. To me, that that is ingredients for a

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame tackle you How well do you know

0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:09.560
<v Speaker 1>him and what would this honor mean tunea to happen?

0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 1>You know him pretty well. Uh you know again, when

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>he was at SC I watched him play and then

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll never forget. I was with ESPN at the time

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>and they flew me down to down to Jacksonville and

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.359
<v Speaker 1>I wore sweats. He can't wore swets. We went out

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:25.719
<v Speaker 1>in the field and they just rolled the camera and

0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:27.759
<v Speaker 1>we must have been out there for an hour and

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:31.040
<v Speaker 1>we talked about technique, mental part of the game. I

0:37:31.120 --> 0:37:33.839
<v Speaker 1>asked him questions, he asked me questions. So I got

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to know him and then just see him. You know,

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:38.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a golf tournament that you know, just uh finished

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:40.719
<v Speaker 1>after twenty years in Orlando and he was always there

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and I always went down, so, you know, just different events,

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 1>I've had a chance to be around him and uh

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, you know, I would say I know him

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:51.279
<v Speaker 1>pretty well and uh and it would not only be

0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:54.440
<v Speaker 1>exciting to to hear that because of him and his

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:56.360
<v Speaker 1>family and you know, of course, first of all he

0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:59.040
<v Speaker 1>was football his family and it doesn't hurt that we're

0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:02.040
<v Speaker 1>both Trojan. So have another trojan alignment that would be,

0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, to join Ron Nix and Yarry and you know,

0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Matthews and myself would be pretty awesome and things

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:10.200
<v Speaker 1>like this can to become a live sales but I've

0:38:10.200 --> 0:38:13.360
<v Speaker 1>read herd maybe even you told me once he was

0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:16.000
<v Speaker 1>as good as anybody who ever did it? Uh? Is

0:38:16.000 --> 0:38:18.120
<v Speaker 1>it fair to ask you where he ranked? You know,

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it's tough because you know I put him up there,

0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, Walter Jones, I really enjoyed watching guys like

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:27.399
<v Speaker 1>really Rope and Jonathan Ogden. Um. I'm trying to think

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:29.480
<v Speaker 1>of some other guys, but you know, he would be

0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:31.560
<v Speaker 1>probably a handful of guys I would put up there

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:34.040
<v Speaker 1>in the upper echelon as far as guys that when

0:38:34.040 --> 0:38:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I watched, I said, I love watching the pretty impressive

0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the humility there. He didn't mention himself. You're probably never one.

0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:45.759
<v Speaker 1>So uh, final question, how deserving. Would this honor be

0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:49.719
<v Speaker 1>for him? I mean, he's clearly a Hall of Fame guy. Well, no,

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it's very deserving. I mean, if you know, if he

0:38:52.120 --> 0:38:55.399
<v Speaker 1>just if he gets that call or whatever, that he's

0:38:55.440 --> 0:38:58.279
<v Speaker 1>in very deserve mat because to me, it's, you know,

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the deserving part of it is what you did on

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.839
<v Speaker 1>the field. And I think you know, people talk about

0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:07.359
<v Speaker 1>his career wasn't Hey, there's guys that have played, you know,

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and they were the best when they were playing, and

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:11.759
<v Speaker 1>that's what it's all about. If you're one of the

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 1>best ever and one of the best play. So I

0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:17.360
<v Speaker 1>would say that deserving if he gets that call, very deserving.

0:39:18.120 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Monio's yesterday Hall of Fame tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals,

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:25.799
<v Speaker 1>joining John Osier on radio road at Super Bowl fifty six.

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:30.600
<v Speaker 1>The full conversation between those two available on Jaguars dot Com.

0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of conversations earlier this week, knew Jaguars head coach

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Doug Peterson was in the building in fact over the weekend.

0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:38.799
<v Speaker 1>He's in the building, yes, but he was here for

0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:42.439
<v Speaker 1>the press conference on Saturday. After the fact, a sit

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 1>down interview one on one with Jaguars dot Com senior

0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 1>correspondent Brian Sexton, and a lot of conversation about the

0:39:49.840 --> 0:39:53.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and much more, a great opportunity to really to

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:57.000
<v Speaker 1>really flip this organization and get it, get it back

0:39:57.000 --> 0:39:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in the direction that it that it's I know that

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:00.799
<v Speaker 1>that Sean Khan wants to to go, and we all

0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go. And you know, to have have the

0:40:02.840 --> 0:40:05.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in places obviously a key thing. And it kind

0:40:05.160 --> 0:40:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of drew me to obviously this this franchise. And then

0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:12.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, as you mentioned the draft, capital and and resources,

0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:14.759
<v Speaker 1>it's just one piece of one piece of time. You're

0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the first Jaguars head coach who has played the position

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>to quarterback. How does your experience as a player translate

0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to coaching the position. I just feel like I can

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:27.520
<v Speaker 1>see it through the quarterback's eyes. You know. I was

0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 1>never the starter a lot, you know, but I had

0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 1>had that career backup, so I was always in a

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:34.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of a coaching sort of a mentor. You know,

0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I see the game through the quarterback's eyes, and I

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 1>think that's important to understand what they're what they're seeing

0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 1>with those guys are seeing out on the football field.

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:43.880
<v Speaker 1>And then obviously you haven't been coached by some some

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 1>great coaches and you know head coaches in my career.

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.799
<v Speaker 1>It's something now that I can you know, pass on

0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to it to a guy like Trevor and just just

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:53.080
<v Speaker 1>create that desire which is already there, but you want

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:55.799
<v Speaker 1>to enhance the desire to to be great. And he

0:40:55.840 --> 0:40:57.360
<v Speaker 1>wants to be he wants to be that way. I

0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.200
<v Speaker 1>want that for him. And again, teams that have this

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>position right are the ones that have had success in

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:05.960
<v Speaker 1>this league. And uh, you know, Jacksonville has gotten it

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>right doing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. How we're doing, man?

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Just see how are you doing? Man? This roster I

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>think has some players on it, guys like Josh Allen

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.760
<v Speaker 1>who are hidden Jim because this team hasn't had success

0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and people haven't seen him. Do you see some promise

0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 1>in this roster or do you see? This is a

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 1>long haul job. No. I mean to me, the guys

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:34.800
<v Speaker 1>like Josh Allen, you know, on this roster are those

0:41:34.840 --> 0:41:37.720
<v Speaker 1>guys that that are in the right spots, right positions

0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to be successful. And and this is the other thing

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 1>that attracted me to to this this job is the

0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:46.160
<v Speaker 1>fact that these players are hungry to win. And that's

0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 1>all they want to do. They just want to play ball.

0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:49.279
<v Speaker 1>These are these are these are kids who just want

0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to be out there on the grass. They want to

0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:54.160
<v Speaker 1>compete and win games. And that that is a that

0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:56.840
<v Speaker 1>is a key recipe to the success in the National

0:41:56.880 --> 0:41:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Football League with teams that you see you're in a

0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 1>year out, you know, vying for those for those postseason spots.

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:05.799
<v Speaker 1>So how do you balance the need to win now? Right?

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:10.239
<v Speaker 1>The owner told the media and Jacksonville weeks ago, months ago. Now, uh,

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:11.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, even want a five year plan. He wanted

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to win um and you just talked about the importance

0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:17.640
<v Speaker 1>of that, but you have to be future focused also,

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:19.919
<v Speaker 1>how do you balance that? It's it's a fine line.

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 1>It's really a fine line. Listen. I want to win.

0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to win tomorrow. You know. It's it's something

0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:25.920
<v Speaker 1>that that that we get into this business to win

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:27.960
<v Speaker 1>football games. That's where we get hired, right and and

0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:29.759
<v Speaker 1>really that's the reason sometimes we get fired. We just

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.759
<v Speaker 1>don't we don't win enough games. But to me, the

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:35.680
<v Speaker 1>foundations here and now you just build upon that right

0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:38.000
<v Speaker 1>with with the coaching staff and the front office and

0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:40.680
<v Speaker 1>obviously again as we talked with it with the quarterback,

0:42:40.719 --> 0:42:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and you just you just start chipping away at it,

0:42:43.120 --> 0:42:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's and it's a it's a it's a methodical process.

0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 1>But then then comes the day when when everything kind

0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 1>of is that aha moment and the light kind of

0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:53.080
<v Speaker 1>turns on. And then when it does, that's that's a

0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:55.800
<v Speaker 1>beautiful thing when that happens, because your team's your team's

0:42:55.920 --> 0:43:00.600
<v Speaker 1>united um and you start winning games. Having a portion

0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 1>of the conversation, the full sit down available on Jaguars

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 1>dot Com. Doug Peterson and Jaguars dot Com senior correspondent

0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Brian Sexton, it was a it was a fun saturday

0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 1>at t I A. Bank Field, have Peterson in the

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:16.680
<v Speaker 1>building taking a look around for the first time. The

0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 1>press conference upstairs in the West Club. We had the

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:22.920
<v Speaker 1>live coverage on Jaguars dot com pregame show, and then

0:43:23.239 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Peterson joined us right after the fact, and I got

0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to get in his head a little bit. And he's

0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:31.160
<v Speaker 1>been right after busy, of course, with all the reports

0:43:31.200 --> 0:43:35.440
<v Speaker 1>coming out of these assistant coach hires taking place, reports

0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that they're in the building already, some of these guys

0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>already getting to work behind a little bit after a

0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:45.080
<v Speaker 1>linky search. But as Doug Peterson was saying during the

0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:49.120
<v Speaker 1>press conference, he's quite confident that, um, this thing should

0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:52.480
<v Speaker 1>get done pretty quickly, at least on the on the

0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:55.640
<v Speaker 1>coaching side. And as we said earlier, once it's all

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:59.239
<v Speaker 1>hired and close to done, you can expect one big

0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:02.200
<v Speaker 1>announcement the entire coaching staff on that. And the next

0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:05.680
<v Speaker 1>question is what happens with the executive vice president roll

0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:08.879
<v Speaker 1>that shot Khan discussed during the press conference there out

0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 1>to the league. They've apparently got some interviews lined up. Uh,

0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 1>that will be in the next couple of weeks time.

0:44:14.680 --> 0:44:18.359
<v Speaker 1>I think the next big storyline for the Jaguars today, though,

0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:22.359
<v Speaker 1>of course, is Tony Basselli Day. Let's see tonight nine

0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:27.200
<v Speaker 1>o'clock the NFL Honor Show is on NFL Network, ESPN

0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Plus and ABC. That's when they'll announce the Modern Era

0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:35.200
<v Speaker 1>electees from the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of two,

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and we hope Tony Boselli is a part of that.

0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 1>We heard from Tony coming up. A couple of other

0:44:40.040 --> 0:44:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars notes today. Are there reports this morning that Tony

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Khan was preparing a run for Congress, Well those are false.

0:44:47.560 --> 0:44:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Tony Khan came out on Twitter himself with a wrestling

0:44:52.520 --> 0:44:56.440
<v Speaker 1>style tweet if you will, and said the fact checking

0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:59.480
<v Speaker 1>standard of Pro Football Talk reporting is far lower than

0:44:59.520 --> 0:45:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that of a w's roving reporter Tony Schivanni. I'm definitely

0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:07.120
<v Speaker 1>not running for Congress. This filing is faker than Eddie

0:45:07.120 --> 0:45:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Gilbert's apology to Tommy rich In. I don't know what

0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:14.839
<v Speaker 1>that means, but they have it from Tony Khan's mouth

0:45:15.040 --> 0:45:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to your ears. Uh. He is not running for Congress

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:24.160
<v Speaker 1>in District number four, he said so himself today. Real news, though,

0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars are headed back to Wimbley Stadium. As part

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference yesterday, he

0:45:32.560 --> 0:45:35.800
<v Speaker 1>announced two games are actually four games coming up in Germany,

0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:40.080
<v Speaker 1>including this year in Munich, and of course the league

0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:42.719
<v Speaker 1>has two games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium already on the

0:45:42.719 --> 0:45:45.920
<v Speaker 1>books in London. The Jaguars, not long after that announcement,

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:49.880
<v Speaker 1>announced that they will play at Wimbley Stadium in two

0:45:49.960 --> 0:45:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and return to a place where they started playing games

0:45:52.520 --> 0:45:56.279
<v Speaker 1>in the Jaguars and they've gone every year since they

0:45:56.320 --> 0:45:59.759
<v Speaker 1>missed the COVID year of last season they win as

0:45:59.760 --> 0:46:03.040
<v Speaker 1>part of the NFL package at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to

0:46:03.080 --> 0:46:05.440
<v Speaker 1>play the Dolphins there and got the win on the

0:46:05.560 --> 0:46:08.080
<v Speaker 1>long field goals at the end of the game to

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:12.160
<v Speaker 1>get that done. Next season back to Wembley Stadium. We'll

0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:14.520
<v Speaker 1>see what the future holds as well, but as of

0:46:14.560 --> 0:46:18.640
<v Speaker 1>now the game announced um the schedule and the opponents

0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:21.440
<v Speaker 1>will be announced closer to if not right at the

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:25.319
<v Speaker 1>schedule announcement, which usually is right around the draft, but

0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you can probably expect that in early May here in

0:46:28.160 --> 0:46:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the campaign. So this year the NFL is scheduled to

0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:35.440
<v Speaker 1>have five International Series games, three in London, the one

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:38.960
<v Speaker 1>at Wembley, into at Tottenham Hotspur, one in Germany and

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Munich and then Mexico City will host a game as well,

0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:46.200
<v Speaker 1>and each team around the league starting with this season

0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>will have a rotation of games over a number of

0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:55.160
<v Speaker 1>years in International Series games, so everybody will be involved

0:46:55.239 --> 0:46:57.640
<v Speaker 1>at least at some point. Moving ahead, the Jaguars of

0:46:57.680 --> 0:47:00.919
<v Speaker 1>course will be involved, it feels like most every year

0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:04.319
<v Speaker 1>moving ahead, and certainly this year at Wimbley Stadium, the

0:47:04.400 --> 0:47:07.960
<v Speaker 1>national stadium in England. The first year for the Jags

0:47:07.960 --> 0:47:10.960
<v Speaker 1>of course back in as we said, missed out in

0:47:12.600 --> 0:47:14.120
<v Speaker 1>so the you have it that's the biggest news of

0:47:14.160 --> 0:47:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the week of course tonight. Uh, let's all cross our

0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:19.640
<v Speaker 1>fingers for Tony Basselli. He sounded confident there. You know,

0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 1>he's got the family there and we'll see what the

0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:25.799
<v Speaker 1>official word is coming out. The accolades we know are

0:47:25.800 --> 0:47:28.800
<v Speaker 1>all there. Um. We we've heard about him for years

0:47:28.880 --> 0:47:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and years and years. Hopefully tonight is the night Tony

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Basselli makes his way into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

0:47:37.239 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 1>There is another Jaguars connection that is a finalist tonight

0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:43.320
<v Speaker 1>as well. That should be knocking on the door to

0:47:43.360 --> 0:47:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Leroy Butler is the other Butler of course, twelve year

0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:50.439
<v Speaker 1>player with the Green Bay Packers. He's from right here

0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:54.160
<v Speaker 1>at Lee High School in Jacksonville. I went to Florida state,

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:57.239
<v Speaker 1>of course, and could he get in Could it be

0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.359
<v Speaker 1>a douvall double tonight? If you will? With Butler from

0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:04.800
<v Speaker 1>here Baselly, the first Jaguars player drafted, it is possible

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that could happen tonight. That would be a heck of

0:48:07.480 --> 0:48:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a run. And by the way, if this all happens,

0:48:11.239 --> 0:48:14.560
<v Speaker 1>if you've never been to Canton, Ohio, why not, uh,

0:48:14.600 --> 0:48:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, make a make a trek up there and

0:48:16.719 --> 0:48:18.799
<v Speaker 1>do it this time. If this is the case, if

0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:21.719
<v Speaker 1>these both certainly, if both of these players make it

0:48:21.719 --> 0:48:24.719
<v Speaker 1>into the Hall of Fame. Uh, it is surreal it's

0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:28.040
<v Speaker 1>ever been to. I've never been to an in trinement ceremony,

0:48:28.080 --> 0:48:31.600
<v Speaker 1>but have traveled to that place twice in two different years.

0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Ninety one was the first time on a family vacation.

0:48:34.800 --> 0:48:37.040
<v Speaker 1>It was still the small little Hall of Fame at

0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:39.719
<v Speaker 1>that point, and then again in like oh seven, it

0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:43.359
<v Speaker 1>expanded and since then it's even they've added a whole

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:46.600
<v Speaker 1>new experience on the back end of that stadium's brand new.

0:48:47.520 --> 0:48:50.680
<v Speaker 1>And it is a weekend to remember in Canton, Ohio.

0:48:50.760 --> 0:48:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's hope that the Jaguars are involved in Jacksonville is

0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:55.879
<v Speaker 1>the city has two players into the Hall of Fame

0:48:55.960 --> 0:48:57.920
<v Speaker 1>this year. It is well worth the trip if you

0:48:57.920 --> 0:49:00.680

0:49:01.680 --> 0:49:04.640
