1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome into another edition of Jaguars Reporters. It's Friday, August five, 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: j P. Shadrick Brian Sexton from the lobby of a 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: Holiday Inn and Canton, Ohio. It's our reaction to the 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and Tony Boselli's weekend a head. That's 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: all coming up, but Brian, let's start with last night's 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. The Raiders out rushed to Jags 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: by one hundred yards. They had some key penalties, there 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: were third down issues on offense that marred the opener. 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: Last night, the Raiders won the game eleven. Let's start 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: positive though. Trayvon Walker was on the field and looked 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: the part well. First of all, I mean, you get 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: into broadcasting and you don't think that you're going to 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: be broadcasting on a podcast from a Holiday Inn and 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: can'ton Ohio in two So this is something new to 15 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: me and I just perspective. Thank you for bringing that. Trayvon. 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: On the very first play of the game, we saw 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: both everything that he's capable of doing and things he 18 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: needs to do better right because he hesitated with his 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: pass rush and that's been the knock on him is 20 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: is that he doesn't necessarily have that instinct as a 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: pass rusher. And why what are you Georgia that used 22 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: him in so many different ways? Um? But that that 23 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: offensive tackle he played was six seven with arms that 24 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: stretched forever like his and he picked that guy up 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: and threw him at the feet of the quarterback. And 26 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: then he said in the locker room after the game, 27 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: I was so close. I didn't want to miss the 28 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: chance to impact the play. Well, you already did. But 29 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: then he reached and he impacted the fly to the ball. 30 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: Forget the fact that Cole caught it. He did his job. Um. 31 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: You know, I mean I've been saying he's he's the 32 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: body of a Clydesdale with the movement abilities of a stallion, 33 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he's just this incredible physical specimen. 34 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: And to see him right out of the gate maker 35 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: play like that last night, I know, I was excited. 36 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: And I was sitting a couple of seats down from 37 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: Trent Bulky in the press box, you know, the guy 38 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: who made the controversial pick. Um, he was pretty excited too. 39 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: Of Course, the next drive he gets home and gets 40 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: a sack, which was a good thing, and then they 41 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: got him out of the game after that, So a 42 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: couple of nice drives for Trayvon to get his feet 43 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: wet a little bit, get out there and as we said, 44 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: look the part, but to actually get home and get 45 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback that was another great move to kind of 46 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: straight on him the tackle and then the quarterback came 47 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: back underneath them and it turned into an easy set. Well, 48 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: imagine what happens when Josh Allen's on the other side 49 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: now and offensive coordinates have the game plan, figure out 50 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: who were gonna slide to, where's the background of Chip? 51 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: And then we saw I think he was an explosive 52 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: pass rush from Caleb and Chason, which was good and 53 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: Arden Keith finished it off and had two sacks last night. 54 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: So if you want to talk about coming in waves, 55 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, we always referenced the two thousand seven New 56 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: York Giants in that Super Bowl win against Tom Brady 57 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: where they just pelted him with everything they had. Um, 58 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, you want to bring that and it it 59 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: looked like you have the pieces to get some of 60 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: that done. So it's it's exciting to think about what's possible. Yeah, 61 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: everything didn't look great last night, but when you start 62 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: thinking about what when when John Josh Allen's on the field, 63 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: what can we do? There was a lot of positives 64 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: JP Shadow, Brian Sexon and Shag Wars reporters. We mentioned 65 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: the rushing defense issues. Well they had offensive issues too, 66 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: but they were outgained on the ground by one hundred 67 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: yards last night. But as you mentioned, there were a 68 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: lot of defensive guys that weren't in that will be 69 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: key in the run defense. Fully fought a cast, he 70 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: didn't play, Josh Allen, didn't play, Foyer Leuk in the middle. 71 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: Linebacker Devin Lloyd hasn't practiced yet. I mean, it's gonna 72 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: be hard to stop to run against anyone if those 73 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: guys aren't in. So you have to have a little 74 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: perspective in this. Well here and here's a piece of perspective, 75 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson gave it to us in the postgame 76 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: locker room last night. Is that you're talking about, you know, 77 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: mixing and matching and putting guys into the line of 78 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: egg because you needed bodies because you had so many 79 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: guys that didn't play, but you wanted to see people 80 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: in certain situations. Well, let's just say you've got a 81 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: j to fele and he lines up next to you know, 82 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: some undrafted rookie free agent, and you know your your 83 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: rolling linebackers through. Well, one guy makes a mistake and 84 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: gets out of position, and it's it's more likely to 85 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: happen in that scenario than it is in a regular 86 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: season you know, third and seven situation, because you've got 87 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: so many guys are where am I supposed to be? 88 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: Who am I supposed to get? You saw guys jumping 89 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: out of gaps last night, just reacting, and that made 90 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: everybody look like they were, you know, tumbling downhill like 91 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: a row of dominoes. So it's really hard to evaluate. 92 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Although you know set after the game, Hey, look if 93 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: we can't run the ball and stop the run, what 94 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: are we doing? So you wanted to see at least 95 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: the basics of that, But I'll give you the perspective. 96 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: They had eight practices j pe and and two of 97 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: those were in full pads. So I think, if if 98 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm interpreting Doug Peterson's mindset, last night was a practice 99 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: kind of felt like that at times. It really did. 100 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Uh that's Brian Sexton. I'm J P. Shadick. The offense, 101 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: it was without Trevor Lawrence C. J Bethard still coming 102 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: back from that growing issue at the end of the 103 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: offseason program. Top three receivers are out Puss Lavisca Chennault, 104 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: who was off to the side the last couple of 105 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: days of practice before the trip. Evan Ingram didn't play, 106 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: Tyler Shatley, and Brandon Sheriff didn't come close to the field. 107 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: So you were digging deep on offense last night to 108 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: certainly the quarterback position. Luton got the start. Sloughter came 109 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: in later and had a touchdown pass in the game, 110 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: but you know that was going to be the field 111 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: in this game, getting some of those younger guys some 112 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: reps in that first time out there, and then I 113 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: think is the week's move on. Certainly this week you 114 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: might see some of those guys come back here. We'll 115 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: tell you I paid almost no attention offensively. Is I'm 116 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: making my notes in the game. I'm I'm looking at 117 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: Jake Luton and these receivers and thinking, okay, so I 118 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: thought I won't focus on two guys. Luke partner the 119 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: center and walk a little the right tackle. And it's 120 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: tough to evaluate the center until you go back and 121 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: look at the table. But I thought Walker little show 122 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: those movement skills that we've been talking about since last 123 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: year and looked really good. And I asked him last 124 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: night in the postgame locker room, did you feel like 125 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: when you had that first team group together on the 126 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: practice field, you feel like you're making progress? And he 127 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: said yes. I said, do you feel like next week 128 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: when the Browns come to town you're all out there, 129 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: the fans will see the progress that they didn't see tonight. 130 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: His answer was short and sweet, Yeah, I do. I 131 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: think they will. So if folks are disappointed from what 132 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: they saw on the offense last night, hold on and 133 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: let's evaluate it next Friday night, when we're likely to 134 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: see guys, even if it's only for a series or two, 135 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: and then be able to say, oh, I see what 136 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: they did with the offensive line, I see what they're 137 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: doing with Travis Etn and stuff like that. Right, we're 138 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: gonna put this game to bed and we're gonna move 139 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: forward to enshrinement weekend when we return.

So 170 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: I think the tentative date is just screen at the 171 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: weekend of October ninth, ninth, and tenth, when the Texans 172 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: are in town, because that's gonna be the alumni weekend, 173 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: so all of these former teammates will be in for that. 174 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: It it's exciting, it really is to get to get 175 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: to this point of the weekend and to think about 176 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: celebrating the Jaguars fans and Jackson. I go back to 177 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: ninety five when they drafted him and we all pointed 178 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: at him because he was a great player in college 179 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: and said that's our guy. And then for him to 180 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: actually be our guy, I mean when he got on 181 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: the field that first night against the Packers and Stone 182 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: Sean Jones, and he didn't get many reps against Reggie White, 183 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: but I don't think Reggie White wanted to mess with him. 184 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: He stayed over there on the other side of the 185 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: line from that moment all the way through his career 186 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: short and though it may be jp, he fulfilled his 187 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: potential as the number one pick, as a player and 188 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: as a person. He was the leader of the football 189 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: team on the field and a leader in the community, 190 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: and and this franchise leaned on him and he delivered. 191 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: I can't think of of another player that no one 192 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: from that class that's ever come through here that you 193 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: can necessarily say that about. He is a tremendous human being, 194 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: as you well know, and his family is beautiful. He's 195 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: a member of our community. He said he was going 196 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: to be. It's just to me, it's just full circle. 197 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: It's amazing that he became what we all hoped he would. 198 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: You mentioned Reggie White, and a story just popped in 199 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: my head that he has told me at least before 200 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: and probably numerous other people, was one of the Pro 201 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Bowls he went to and he's lined up at right tackle. 202 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: I think Vinny testa Verdie is the quarterback and here's 203 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: Reggie White lined up against him. So it's like the 204 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: first play of the game. He's like, Okay, this is 205 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: a half speed Pro Bowl, not for Reggie White. He 206 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: went right around Tony and hammered Vinny Testaverdie and Tony 207 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: is like, sorry, Vinnie, that dad. I didn't realize that 208 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: there was a little different time of the Pro Bowl 209 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: back then when they were actually trying to get after it. 210 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: But that that memory just kind of pops in my head. 211 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: And another one for me the first time I met 212 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: Tony Boselli. I had just started with the Jaguars in 213 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: and I'm kind of the new guy in the PR 214 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: department and I'm I'm excited, you know, all this new 215 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: clothes and office, and I had brought my I got 216 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: this Alabama in the National Championship, right, So I had 217 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: this something that that was the twelfth of now a 218 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: lot so but I had this poster of the returning 219 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: starters that season, and I got an autographed by all 220 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: of them on the defensive side and it was great. 221 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: All of those guys got drafted. So I had that 222 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: frame and I brought it to the office and put 223 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: it in my office. Well, Tony Boselli walks in to 224 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: say hi and introduced himself. How are you doing? He 225 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: looks at the at the poster. He's like, yeah, I 226 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: blocked that guy. That guy wasn't good. He was okay, 227 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: but not great. I blocked him all day long, like 228 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: he went through the whole list. I'm okay, it's a 229 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: little different here. This guy is a totally different animal. 230 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: That was my first interaction with Tony. The first time 231 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: I met him was the Sunday morning. Back then, the 232 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: draft was Saturday and Sunday, so he was drafted about 233 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: noontime on Saturday, and by Sunday morning he was in Jacksonville. 234 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: I was coming back to the stadium to do some 235 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: work and somebody goes, hey, grab that microphone. We're going 236 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: to interview Tony Boselli. And when he's here already, Yeah, 237 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: he's here, Come on's go. We go to the weight room. 238 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: I went, where's the weight room? Right? The stame was 239 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: all under construction, right, we're dodging worn clips and crates, 240 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: And there he is standing in a suit with Angie 241 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: uh in all. I mean, she looked like Miss California. 242 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: She's wearing this bright red jacket. And you just saw 243 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: these two and they were so friendly, they were so 244 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: genuine and excited to be here. And uh, Tony had 245 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: some moments when he was a player, when he's up, 246 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: just a pain in the assis in the locker room. 247 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: He just like, man, I don't want to deal with 248 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: him today. But but that's what you expect. You know, 249 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: he was a cranky, offensive lineman, which is what made 250 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: him great. Edge and the edges would make him great. 251 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: But um, but the moment that that that I first 252 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: saw him, laid eyes on him and talk to him 253 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: till now, I mean, I just I just have felt 254 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: so honored to have to known him and to be 255 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, friends with him, and to to see his 256 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: career go. They're just fabulous people. And I have to 257 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: say this too about about Tony and blocking. You talk 258 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: about all the guys he blocked. I remember early in 259 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: his career, guys would just watch him and just watch 260 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: him move and warm up and say he's gonna be great, 261 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: gonna be great, and and you just knew he was 262 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: better than everyone else. No one's ever said that about me, 263 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: or he's just better than everyone else at anything. Maybe 264 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: taking out the trash on Tuesday. I don't know. Um, 265 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: it's just I can't imagine what that's like, where you're 266 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: just the best, easy to be, I guess for him 267 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: as Brian Sexton, I'm JP Shatrick. It's Jaguar's reporters. We 268 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: got to go to the Hall of Fame yesterday. Jaguars 269 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: All Access Television shot there. I had a chance to 270 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: walk around the hall and the Basselli exhibits are out 271 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: as locker is out there with some items that he 272 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: sent to the Hall of Fame. A couple of his 273 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl jerseys areround, and then you go into the 274 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: bus room and there's the little platform where his bust 275 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: is going to go. And that's really really cool. And 276 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's fun to see all the people that 277 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: have come up from Jacksonville for those two and I 278 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: think you heard them during his introduction before the game 279 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: last night. I think it was the loudest cheer of 280 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: all the Hall of Famers, all the Jacksonville and the 281 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: Jaguar fans better here to support him. And he talked 282 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: about that during the game last night, how how meaningful 283 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: that was for him to to hear that kind of 284 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: response last night. I noticed that too. The Raiders fans, 285 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: Cliff Branches. Obviously the csed he died Ineen. They gave 286 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: him a nice ovation. But when Tony came across, I 287 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: saw him, I think hesitate and stopped. You know, probably 288 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: the only time he ever hesitated going onto a football field. 289 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: I think. I think the moment grabbed him. And the 290 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: great thing about Tony is how sensitive he is to 291 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: the history of this game, to the to the franchise 292 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: and what it means not just to his family, but 293 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: to this franchise, which is you know, the extension of 294 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: his family and into the NFL. I walked around the 295 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and I went looking for some of 296 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: the greats who played left tackle, and you know he 297 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: he played in the golden era of left tackles. Us 298 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: do you think about Orlando Pace with the St. Louis 299 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: Rams and Walter Jones out in Seattle and of course 300 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: John Ogden in Baltimore. I think Tony was better than 301 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: all of them. Now you can say, well, you're biased, 302 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I'm personally sure. But Anthony Munios 303 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: came to town in two thousand, used to host the 304 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: Florida Sports Awards. The Jaspers. They called him and and 305 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: backstage we were quizzing him and we said, who's the best. Remember, 306 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: everyone said Anthon Munios is the best, and he said, 307 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: you can say that, and I really appreciate it. But 308 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: if I'm honest with you, I look at him and 309 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: I think he's better than make. He's the best left 310 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: tackle to ever play the game. And at that moment, 311 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: I said, okay, he is. He's the best left tackle 312 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: to ever play the game. And I'll tell you I 313 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: can't imagine anybody ever playing it better than he did. 314 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: The combination of length and nasty aggression and and look, 315 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: if this team needed someone to light a fire, needed 316 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: somebody who sparked the way you wouldn't think the left 317 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: tackles the guy. Hey, let's focus on the left. But 318 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: Tony Boselli was always the guy out front. He was 319 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: like following me, let's go. Um. I love the guy. 320 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: It's been so much fun to watch him and and 321 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see that bust go into the 322 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and we'll all kid him about how 323 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: big it is. I'm sure I already have actually on 324 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: the video or whatever. So the weekend to hand, we 325 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: will be following Tony throughout these events, but not the 326 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: Ray nitch Key luncheon that's for Hall of Famers only 327 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: on Friday.

And there's an old saying in football, 341 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: and it's the memories that make us rich. Right, It's 342 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: the people, it's the experiences, it's the places and the 343 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: things that we've done in this game. And Dick formal 344 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: has done a lot of them, and I would say 345 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: he'll be emotional, but I I'm kind of anxious to 346 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: hear Tony, you know, I mean, I really I know 347 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: that they've practiced this thing and they're gonna really hold 348 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: it to eight minutes. Um, I'm anxious to hear it. 349 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Mark Brunell, and I have to tell 350 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: you those two were thickest thieves from the very beginning. 351 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they just they bonded and became friends. I 352 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: don't know it's the Pact twelve thing or they had 353 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: some friends in common, um, but they rode to work 354 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: together every day from marsh Landing to Jacksonville in the 355 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: time that they played together, and they were just always together. 356 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: And so when people started asking, Hey, Tony, who's gonna 357 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: be your presenter, I thought, there's no question about this, 358 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: is there. I mean, it's gonna be Mark Burnell. And 359 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: so I'm excited to hear Mark. I'm decided to see 360 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: those two together.

And yeah, they didn't deliver Super Bowl, I 363 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: get it, but they gave us great memories.
