Speaker 1: A for a couple of days. He joins us now
1:53
Speaker 1: from Radio Row at Super Bowl fifty six. John, Good,
1:57
Speaker 1: afternoon to you. What's happening on radio road to well,
2:02
Speaker 1: a lot of talk as you know from JP, I mean,
2:04
Speaker 1: as you know from being around this JP, but uh
2:07
Speaker 1: from for our world, for the Jaguars people who were here,
2:10
Speaker 1: Patrick Havanaugh, Dave Buchanis and myself. We're here for the
2:14
Speaker 1: announcement of Tony Biselli. We're hoping, as you said at
2:18
Speaker 1: the top of the show, February two, twenty two. What
2:21
Speaker 1: you hope is that this is a landmark day for
2:23
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, because that's really what it would be. It
2:26
Speaker 1: would be a great day for Tony. He deserves it.
2:28
Speaker 1: It would be the Jaguars first Hall of Famer. That'd
2:30
Speaker 1: be cool. It's a big deal obviously, the first draft
2:33
Speaker 1: pick and enfranchise history. Five time Pro Bowl or three
2:37
Speaker 1: time First Team All Pro, the shortened career because of
2:41
Speaker 1: shoulder issues, but everyone you talk to, most everybody you
2:44
Speaker 1: talked to who either played against him one on one
2:47
Speaker 1: or played with him know that in that window, he
2:50
Speaker 1: was the best player in football at that position. Especially well.
2:55
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough JP to cover I think all
2:57
Speaker 1: but maybe three or four of Tony's games. I left
3:00
Speaker 1: in two thousand. Uh, he played a little bit in
3:02
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, but I saw the great majority
3:05
Speaker 1: of his career. In addition to that, I spent a
3:08
Speaker 1: lot of that time during that time covering the Jaguars
3:11
Speaker 1: for the paper for the Full Times Union. So I
3:13
Speaker 1: talked to people about Tony. Uh. You know, I guess
3:16
Speaker 1: we're a little biased, but to me and to many
3:20
Speaker 1: many others, he was the best left tackle in what
3:23
Speaker 1: many people consider the Golden era of the position. Orlando
3:27
Speaker 1: paces I played at the same time, uh, Willie Rove
3:31
Speaker 1: played at the same time. UH, Jonathan Ogden played. Those
3:35
Speaker 1: guys are in. Tony was first Team All Pro three
3:40
Speaker 1: years in a row during that time with those guys
3:43
Speaker 1: in the league. That's the bell market the position. That's
3:48
Speaker 1: what shows you who is the best. Tony was the
3:50
Speaker 1: best I ever saw play the position. Many others agree, Uh,
3:54
Speaker 1: I think this is his time. And what's interesting, JP,
3:59
Speaker 1: We've talked about a lot amongst ourselves, amongst Jaguars fans,
4:03
Speaker 1: it doesn't always work out that that first pick of
4:07
Speaker 1: a franchise who's supposed to be the cornerstone is the cornerstone.
4:12
Speaker 1: He was the cornerstone. How fitting would be if he's
4:15
Speaker 1: the first and I think he will be. John Os,
4:18
Speaker 1: you're joining us from Radio Row at Super Bowl fifty
4:20
Speaker 1: six in Los Angeles. Well, the process we've gone through
4:24
Speaker 1: a few times now, this process with Tony being in
4:27
Speaker 1: the finalists, he's obviously the last five years or so
4:32
Speaker 1: actually now six years as a finalist, the last five
4:35
Speaker 1: have been in the top ten. That means he's gotten
4:38
Speaker 1: through the first cut of the finalists in that room.
4:40
Speaker 1: We'll see where it goes tonight. But I mean that's
4:43
Speaker 1: that's a lot of close calls. There have been a
4:44
Speaker 1: number of first ballot players. Clark Judge wrote an article
4:48
Speaker 1: today uh talking to he's one of the electors, and
4:52
Speaker 1: said there were ten first ballot choices the last four years,
4:56
Speaker 1: and there was a run of offensive lineman. Of course
4:58
Speaker 1: we talked about Fantica, Hutchinson and Maai. Those are all
5:01
Speaker 1: gone now. So this seems like as good a year
5:04
Speaker 1: as any. This seems like the year. I've written about
5:09
Speaker 1: it and talked about it so much that I know
5:10
Speaker 1: people who have to listen to me a lot get
5:12
Speaker 1: tired of saying it. Hudgenson, Fannik and Mawai and miss
5:17
Speaker 1: Elli were the four or four or five years ago
5:20
Speaker 1: that every voter you talked to. And I'm fortunate enough
5:22
Speaker 1: to have known a lot of Hall voters for a
5:24
Speaker 1: long time, so I talked to him on and off
5:26
Speaker 1: the record about it. All of them said, all four
5:29
Speaker 1: of those guys will eventually get in. The people who
5:32
Speaker 1: are in the room and vote, they study this process.
5:35
Speaker 1: They know how it works. Tony has been I think
5:38
Speaker 1: you said JP top ten five years in a row.
5:41
Speaker 1: Very rare for guys to get that close and not
5:45
Speaker 1: eventually get in, because if you're getting that kind of vote,
5:48
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people in the room who
5:50
Speaker 1: firmly believe you're a Hall of Famer. I've never talked
5:53
Speaker 1: to anybody who thinks he doesn't deserve to be in.
5:57
Speaker 1: These votes can come down to circumstance, two votes to
6:01
Speaker 1: other players getting votes. Everybody I've talked to things this
6:05
Speaker 1: is Tony's year. I'm more confident than I ever have been.
6:08
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if it's not, but we'll see. Jaguars
6:12
Speaker 1: dot Com Senior writer John Os, you're joining us from
6:14
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I loved your conversation with Anthony Mono's earlier
6:18
Speaker 1: this week. Gets on Jaguars dot Com right now. Hall
6:22
Speaker 1: of Fame player. Of course, his team is in the
6:24
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. A lot of folks want his thoughts on
6:26
Speaker 1: what the Bengals are doing this week, But your conversation
6:30
Speaker 1: with him was mainly about Tony Boselli, and he has
6:33
Speaker 1: him right up there at the top of that class
6:35
Speaker 1: as well of those players that played in the mid
6:38
Speaker 1: to late nineties. Yeah, and Anthony has been quoted before
6:42
Speaker 1: say any things, Tony was the best ever better than him.
6:45
Speaker 1: I think that's some humility. Most people set Moonios as
6:48
Speaker 1: the gold standard of the position. But he shared a
6:51
Speaker 1: story in that conversation of him coming down when he
6:54
Speaker 1: was working for ESPN and doing a very good piece
7:00
Speaker 1: on Tony when Tony was in his prime n or
7:03
Speaker 1: ninety seven. As he's relaying that story, I can remember
7:06
Speaker 1: as a reporter for The Times Union talking to Moonios
7:09
Speaker 1: when he was in town at that point, maybe it
7:11
Speaker 1: was ninety seven, and Munio is detailing how he believed
7:15
Speaker 1: Tony was better, how how he believed Tony had the
7:19
Speaker 1: potential and was going to be and maybe even was
7:21
Speaker 1: the best to ever play the position at that point. Uh,
7:25
Speaker 1: Moonio's absolutely believes he should be in. Uh. There's a
7:29
Speaker 1: fraternity of great left tackles who have played the position
7:32
Speaker 1: over the years. Pace we mentioned Ogden, Munos is one
7:35
Speaker 1: of them. Those guys already see Tony as one of them.
7:40
Speaker 1: He's in their fraternity. But you sort of need that
7:43
Speaker 1: gold jacket to be in in that fraternity. And j P,
7:47
Speaker 1: as I've told you before, the only problem with given
7:50
Speaker 1: Tony a gold jacket is he'll never take it off. No,
7:53
Speaker 1: never will. Well, he'll be wearing that thing everywhere, and
7:57
Speaker 1: of all the busts in that room and Canton, he'll
7:59
Speaker 1: have the just brune bust of them all. We know
8:01
Speaker 1: that for sure he won't be able to make it
8:04
Speaker 1: back out of the room. And I don't think so. No.
8:06
Speaker 1: John Osi with us from Radio Row. It's Super Bowl
8:09
Speaker 1: f six in Los Angeles, California. So all right, what
8:12
Speaker 1: does the rest of the day whole? It's a nine
8:14
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern time show tonight eight seven, six o'clock Pacific time.
8:19
Speaker 1: Do they have do you know what time do the
8:20
Speaker 1: players find out? We'll last Tony coming up a little
8:23
Speaker 1: more of the detail of that. But what do you
8:25
Speaker 1: have the rest of the day to cover? Just sort
8:28
Speaker 1: of waiting on it. We'll go to the press conference
8:31
Speaker 1: that follows it, hoping to beat Uh. You know, I've
8:34
Speaker 1: joked all day. What I want to not do tonight
8:37
Speaker 1: is have to do sort of the cheek click interview
8:40
Speaker 1: where you go here we are again, Tony, because I've
8:42
Speaker 1: done that four or five years in a row. I've
8:46
Speaker 1: I've lived through seeing his family so disappointed. Uh, and
8:50
Speaker 1: you know it's it's tough. I mean, it's an emotional moment.
8:54
Speaker 1: So from that point of view, he's lived through that
8:56
Speaker 1: disappointment so much that you hope it happens for him.
8:59
Speaker 1: For us, We'll be at press conference, we'll be waiting,
9:02
Speaker 1: We'll have a stream live on on Jaguars dot Com.
9:04
Speaker 1: People can watch it there, and then we'll have the
9:06
Speaker 1: reaction from him afterwards, which I hope is a happy reaction.
9:09
Speaker 1: That would be for sure nice. Uh was he he
9:12
Speaker 1: was around Radio Row I heard today right making the
9:14
Speaker 1: rounds as usual. He was. I spoke to him for
9:17
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and then he was, you're talking to
9:20
Speaker 1: a lot of different people about it, and uh, I
9:22
Speaker 1: think he feels good about it. I think he's hopeful
9:25
Speaker 1: and uh he reads the t leaves like everybody else,
9:29
Speaker 1: but he also knows that there's nothing guaranteed in this process. John, Hey,
9:33
Speaker 1: what's up? John Osian with us from super Bowl Radio
9:37
Speaker 1: Row in Los Angeles. You know, this is Tony Boselli day.
9:40
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll hear that call tonight when he's announced as
9:44
Speaker 1: a Class of Pro Football Hall of Famer. What's the
9:48
Speaker 1: general reaction there about the Doug Peterson hiring. You've been
9:52
Speaker 1: able to kind of make the rounds in the room.
9:54
Speaker 1: There all positive for the most part. Yeah, he's positive.
9:58
Speaker 1: I talked to uh Adam Kaplan yesterday who knows Philadelphia
10:02
Speaker 1: sports as well as anybody, and talked to Brian Baldinger
10:05
Speaker 1: from the NFL Network. Uh the vibe is good. There's
10:09
Speaker 1: a lot of well, you know, it's it would be
10:12
Speaker 1: hard for it to be a step back because it
10:14
Speaker 1: was a tough year last year, so there's a lot
10:16
Speaker 1: of that as well. I think overall people nationally and
10:20
Speaker 1: people who knows who know the NFL, no Doug. They
10:23
Speaker 1: know what he's about, they know he can handle the job.
10:27
Speaker 1: They have the same vibe JP that you and I
10:29
Speaker 1: got from talking to him after the press conference on Saturday.
10:32
Speaker 1: He's a professional coach, he knows what, he knows what
10:35
Speaker 1: he's doing. The word you keep hearing about him is
10:39
Speaker 1: a great collaborator. That's sort of what we heard on Saturday.
10:42
Speaker 1: Somebody who can bring the building together, who can coach
10:45
Speaker 1: his coaches, who players are going to believe in. All
10:49
Speaker 1: of those things that you heard leading up to it
10:52
Speaker 1: are things that you hear now that's what the franchise needs.
10:55
Speaker 1: And it feels like he's that guy. John. Thanks for
10:58
Speaker 1: the time, Enjoy the rest of the day, and uh,
11:01
Speaker 1: let's hopefully this gets done tonight with Tony Boselli in
11:04
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, Dangers crossed, Let's bring home the gold,
11:08
Speaker 1: no doubt. That's John Ozer, Jaguars dot com senior writer,
11:12
Speaker 1: joining us from radio row at Super Bowl fifty six
11:16
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. And as you heard him say the
11:19
Speaker 1: press conference tonight, if he gets in, we'll have it
11:22
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com. If that is the case, Daily's

12:00
Speaker 1: Nation Play more ahead on Jaguars Happy Hour return with
12:03
Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks, and we'll get into some
12:07
Speaker 1: of these Jaguars assistant coaches being reported. And this is
12:11
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. You know,
12:22
Speaker 1: I think what really like players is that Doug is
12:25
Speaker 1: a guguine guy and he doesn't put on airs and
12:28
Speaker 1: I think that that resume with players, and really that's
12:32
Speaker 1: what it's all about here. There's no he'll say in
12:34
Speaker 1: a lot if you guys will say that there's no
12:37
Speaker 1: more team game than a football team. In a game
12:41
Speaker 1: like that, I mean, you have to get everybody to
12:43
Speaker 1: buy in. Whatever your role is, do your job, do
12:47
Speaker 1: your job the best. If everybody knows their job great,
12:51
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have a lot of success. And that's
12:53
Speaker 1: really what Doug Peter does all about. But I think
12:55
Speaker 1: his motivation and you know the thing about Dougan's Billy, well,
13:00
Speaker 1: we look at the super Bowl win. We love playoff
13:02
Speaker 1: appearances after that. It wasn't easy in those three seasons.
13:06
Speaker 1: I mean one of the themes in his time here
13:09
Speaker 1: was a ton of injuries and Doug always was able
13:12
Speaker 1: to write the shift, might shift, stay calm, make sure
13:17
Speaker 1: that the next man up was prepared to play. Football,
13:21
Speaker 1: and you know by large and Jills Eagles chet winning
13:25
Speaker 1: football games and reaching the pall season. That is Dave Spidero,
13:30
Speaker 1: Eagles insider on the new Jaguars head coach. Of course,
13:34
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson was a player in Philly. He was an
13:37
Speaker 1: assistant coach in Philadelphia, the head coach of the Eagles
13:41
Speaker 1: who finally got them to the mountain top and a
13:44
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship. And welcome back, it's Jaguars Happy Hour.
13:47
Speaker 1: The full conversation was Spadero available on Jaguars dot Com.
13:51
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Los Angeles now and welcome in
13:54
Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks joining us from your home studio.
13:59
Speaker 1: That you know, Bucky, the Super bowls in your town
14:02
Speaker 1: right now, right it is in my town. It is
14:06
Speaker 1: a little bit of a zoo down there. L a
14:08
Speaker 1: live in the convention center with everything that's going on.
14:11
Speaker 1: Radio Row is in full earnest and popping on a Thursday.
14:14
Speaker 1: I decided because of all that, I think we're going
14:17
Speaker 1: to stay at the house today. We're gonna avoid some
14:18
Speaker 1: of the rat race and I'm just gonna hang out
14:20
Speaker 1: way for JP to Carr, Well, I mean, you you
14:22
Speaker 1: live the rat race every day. Let's be honest with you.
14:25
Speaker 1: You're all over the place. You've got you've got radio,
14:28
Speaker 1: you've got TV, you've got all these The mock draft
14:32
Speaker 1: season is here. I mean you. You are in the
14:34
Speaker 1: rat race every day. Yeah. Look, I'm in the middle
14:37
Speaker 1: of it right now. It's a bit of a transition
14:39
Speaker 1: because it's the end of one as we know it
14:41
Speaker 1: with the Super Bowl culminating the end of the season,
14:44
Speaker 1: but it's the beginning of two. And so if we
14:47
Speaker 1: think about it from a Jaguars perspective, now that we
14:49
Speaker 1: have to hear coaching plays, we're getting to put the
14:51
Speaker 1: piece of the coaching staff together. Now we can start
14:54
Speaker 1: looking at those mob drafts with a little reality based
14:57
Speaker 1: sense and feel for who could be the next ares
15:00
Speaker 1: and so now seeing any time because remember JP, in
15:02
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks we met Indianapolis at the Combine,
15:05
Speaker 1: and I know that you've already made a reservation so
15:07
Speaker 1: we can go eat at a couple of fine establishments,
15:10
Speaker 1: and you've got the credit card are all paid down,
15:12
Speaker 1: so we can we can have a good time looking
15:14
Speaker 1: forward to it's gonna be a blast. Yeah, the expense report,
15:17
Speaker 1: I'd like to apologize in advance for what's gonna happen
15:20
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. Bucky Brooks with us NFL network analysts. All right,
15:24
Speaker 1: so the Jaguars have reportedly come to terms with a
15:27
Speaker 1: number of assistant coaches. The word is when it's done.
15:31
Speaker 1: Maybe next week they'll have one full announcement with everybody
15:34
Speaker 1: on the list together. But today the most recent name
15:38
Speaker 1: has been out there is Press Taylor, offensive coordinator, reportedly
15:42
Speaker 1: coming to terms with the Jaguars. And you know, Zach
15:46
Speaker 1: Taylor's brother first of all, and has a history with
15:49
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in Philadelphia. He is the guy responsible for
15:53
Speaker 1: the Philly Special. How about that, Bucky? How about how
15:56
Speaker 1: about that? I think when you think about Press day,
15:59
Speaker 1: I think we probably should examine all of those moves
16:02
Speaker 1: around the quarterback together. So as Press Taylor as the
16:05
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, it's Mike McCoy as the quarterback coach, and
16:09
Speaker 1: then as Doug Peterson as the ultimate play caller. Well,
16:13
Speaker 1: Press Taylor and Doug Peterson obviously have a history having
16:16
Speaker 1: worked there together. And so the one thing that we
16:19
Speaker 1: know is that there's going to be synergy. The verbiage
16:22
Speaker 1: and the language is going to be the same for
16:24
Speaker 1: the quarterback, everybody is going to be in alignment with
16:27
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy. What you have is, um one, you have
16:31
Speaker 1: a guy who played like Doug Peterson, Mike McCoy and myself.
16:33
Speaker 1: We're all on the Green Bay Packers in the mid nineties.
16:36
Speaker 1: Mike mccorby was on the practice squad, and so you
16:38
Speaker 1: have that connection and synergy between guys who know one another,
16:42
Speaker 1: who were in the same quarterback room, who understand how
16:45
Speaker 1: the position should be taught. And so when you think
16:47
Speaker 1: about trying to create that that that synergy from top
16:51
Speaker 1: to bottom, meaning everyone who touched the quarterback is saying
16:54
Speaker 1: the same things. And so there's no confusion in terms
16:58
Speaker 1: of drills, instruction, schematics, all of that stuff is together.
17:02
Speaker 1: And so I love it the way that they're putting
17:04
Speaker 1: it together. You know, I think we buried the lead here.
17:06
Speaker 1: Forget far and Reggie White. I mean, you three guys
17:10
Speaker 1: were on the Packers together. I feel like that's forgotten. Yeah,
17:14
Speaker 1: look how about that, Like they're like, who knew like
17:17
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, myself, Mike McCoy, we were all together. In
17:20
Speaker 1: fact at the time, UM, Mike McCoy and I were
17:23
Speaker 1: on the scout teams taking it on. I was still
17:26
Speaker 1: paying why receiver before moving to defense back and so
17:29
Speaker 1: like we brought around yard a little bit challenge to
17:31
Speaker 1: defense and do all that stuff. And so um, I'm excited.
17:35
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get back into town because for me,
17:37
Speaker 1: it's like an old reunion. Like maybe they can give
17:39
Speaker 1: me like a little whistle. I can hang in the
17:41
Speaker 1: far corner of the practice field. Here he goes again, Buck,
17:46
Speaker 1: he's trying to like, you know, politic for a gig.
17:50
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just like a T shirt, just
17:55
Speaker 1: some Jaguar gear. And Okay, I'm with you. We could
17:58
Speaker 1: we could probably make that happen. Bucky Brooks with this
18:00
Speaker 1: NFL Network canalyst here on Jaguar's Happy Hour. You know,
18:04
Speaker 1: that's the offensive side, that's priority number one, get things
18:06
Speaker 1: right around the quarterback. But if Doug Peterson, as he says,
18:10
Speaker 1: is gonna call plays and be offensive guy and do
18:12
Speaker 1: all that stuff, well, the the the defensive coordinator role
18:16
Speaker 1: is huge, and there's still kind of up in the air.
18:18
Speaker 1: Mike Caldwell's name was out there early. Gerald Alexander's name
18:23
Speaker 1: came in later. I haven't really seen a report of
18:26
Speaker 1: any resolution here. Bucky, but Mike Caldwell's name was the
18:29
Speaker 1: lead name for a long time. Yeah, Mike cal Will
18:32
Speaker 1: is interesting because Mike cal Will obviously worked under Doug Peterson.
18:36
Speaker 1: They have a history together. They they've been around each other,
18:40
Speaker 1: and so there's some familiarity with the players and so
18:44
Speaker 1: with the player and the coaches and and all that
18:46
Speaker 1: other stuff. And so when you think about Doug Peterson,
18:49
Speaker 1: uh trying to I guess assemble the staff, you can
18:52
Speaker 1: say he's in a way trying to get the band
18:54
Speaker 1: back together. He wants people who can kind of run
18:56
Speaker 1: this games that he's familiar with. Now. I think Mike
18:59
Speaker 1: cal Will is very interesting and very interesting higher because
19:02
Speaker 1: his time at Tampa Bay put him around Thy bowls,
19:05
Speaker 1: Thy Bowls. As you know, the Tampa Buccaneers defense is
19:07
Speaker 1: one of the most aggressive defenses that you will find
19:10
Speaker 1: a lot of zone dogs, a lot of pressure from everywhere,
19:14
Speaker 1: but they did things that allowed the corners to be
19:16
Speaker 1: safe and coverage to be interesting to see how much
19:20
Speaker 1: is that he would implement in jack and Jacksonville if
19:23
Speaker 1: he is the guy. And then Gerald Alexander I would
19:26
Speaker 1: say a former Jaguar, but someone I know personally, having
19:29
Speaker 1: watched him work out, having watched him come out of
19:32
Speaker 1: Boys as a good player. UM, a guy who I
19:35
Speaker 1: must tell you is one of the finest teachers that
19:37
Speaker 1: you will find at the defensive back position. UM. When
19:40
Speaker 1: you talk to the players that have been touched by
19:42
Speaker 1: Gerald Alexander as a coach, they rave about him talking
19:47
Speaker 1: to the players from California when they were coming out.
19:49
Speaker 1: They just talked about how he got them ready to play.
19:51
Speaker 1: His attention to detail and instruction is superb down in Miami.
19:55
Speaker 1: The impact that he had in a really quick time
19:58
Speaker 1: on the young players from a developmental standpoint. And my look,
20:03
Speaker 1: if I had my dream list, I would like for
20:05
Speaker 1: both of those guys to come on board because I
20:07
Speaker 1: think there's value for both of them and what they
20:10
Speaker 1: could add to the unit. I don't know if that
20:12
Speaker 1: can happen, but I'm saying, you're talking about two very,
20:15
Speaker 1: very good coaches. UM. I think it certainly would be
20:18
Speaker 1: an upgrade of what we've seen previously. Is there any
20:20
Speaker 1: hesitation there with his just lack of NFL coaching experience.
20:24
Speaker 1: He hasn't been in the league as a you know,
20:26
Speaker 1: he was a dB coach the last couple of years
20:28
Speaker 1: in Miami, but that's really been the bulk of his
20:30
Speaker 1: time in the league. Yeah. I mean, obviously there's a
20:34
Speaker 1: little bit of a concern, but you don't get experience
20:36
Speaker 1: until you have opportunity. He played in the league for
20:39
Speaker 1: a long time. I think what really helps and maybe
20:42
Speaker 1: what will buffer some of the inexperienced in terms of
20:45
Speaker 1: an NFL coach is that he had to do it
20:47
Speaker 1: in college as a position coach, and so when you're
20:50
Speaker 1: coaching college kids. We talked about the precision in the
20:53
Speaker 1: detail that you need to uh have Toby to take
20:57
Speaker 1: complex matter and make it very very simple, well than
21:00
Speaker 1: digestible for your eight team to twenty two year olds.
21:02
Speaker 1: That experience could allow him to be a very a
21:06
Speaker 1: very good teacher at the NFL level. As I said,
21:09
Speaker 1: if we could get both of those guys on board,
21:12
Speaker 1: I would be very very happy because I saw with
21:14
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins defense looked like I saw Hazavien Howard
21:17
Speaker 1: and those guys played under the two legion. Jerald Alexander,
21:21
Speaker 1: I know you'd do a fine job. And he's a
21:23
Speaker 1: former Jaguars so did also Matters signed them all up. Yeah.
21:26
Speaker 1: I like that. Bucky Brooks with his NFL Network analysts
21:28
Speaker 1: here on Jaguar is happy our special teams. Heath Farwell
21:32
Speaker 1: a name that's been reported to the Jaguars. He's been
21:34
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I believe as of late, there's a special
21:37
Speaker 1: teams group. Last year, I mean they had some struggles
21:40
Speaker 1: and coverage. They had a couple of early successes with
21:43
Speaker 1: the kick returns, but as the season went along, the
21:46
Speaker 1: roster changed in the churn and all that just didn't
21:49
Speaker 1: work out well in special teams last season. What do
21:51
Speaker 1: you know about far while Well? I haven't watched far
21:53
Speaker 1: whill Um as undrafted free agent. I want to say
21:56
Speaker 1: he came out of San Diego State. That is my
21:58
Speaker 1: area of the country when I was scouting. Look, this
22:00
Speaker 1: guy made a nice career for himself as a special teamer. Uh,
22:04
Speaker 1: someone who could come down and look really cover all
22:07
Speaker 1: the kicks, and he is taking it and he's become
22:10
Speaker 1: an outstanding special teams coach. When you look at what
22:13
Speaker 1: he's been able to do as assistance with Seattle and
22:15
Speaker 1: Carolina respectively. You think about the Buffalo Bills and their
22:18
Speaker 1: special teams, and not only the special teams and how
22:21
Speaker 1: they play, but how they were part of the culture
22:24
Speaker 1: that Buffalo created. Um. Special teams have to be a
22:28
Speaker 1: special deal. It has to be important because what you're
22:31
Speaker 1: doing is you're trying to convince a bunch of guys
22:32
Speaker 1: who have never necessarily participated in the kicking game to
22:36
Speaker 1: not only participate, but to excel in that phase. And
22:39
Speaker 1: so the special teams coach has to be enthusiastic. He
22:42
Speaker 1: has to be a great teacher. He has to be
22:43
Speaker 1: a great team builder because he has to build that
22:46
Speaker 1: team together. So he thar world comes with a lot
22:49
Speaker 1: of accolades and recognition. He did a great job in Buffalo.
22:51
Speaker 1: I would expect him to do a great job down
22:53
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Bucky always appreciate the time, you know. It
22:57
Speaker 1: kind of feels like just reading the tea leaves and
23:00
Speaker 1: talking to people. We heard from John Osier out there
23:02
Speaker 1: a minute ago. He's been around radio row that this
23:05
Speaker 1: should be Hopefully, Tony Boselli is night to get in
23:07
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. It would be nice to finally
23:09
Speaker 1: get that done. Oh look, man, tell me it's about
23:12
Speaker 1: time for Tony to go. Tony Um goes. And then
23:15
Speaker 1: what that does is that opened the door for free
23:17
Speaker 1: at T and Jimmy Smith. Maybe some other guys to
23:20
Speaker 1: eventually get through the door. But Tony Baselli um is
23:22
Speaker 1: one of the best players that I've ever played with.
23:24
Speaker 1: I still have vivid memories of him dominating Bruce Smith
23:27
Speaker 1: in that postseason game where we upset them in the
23:29
Speaker 1: wild card round. Uh. Look, people talk about the brevity
23:32
Speaker 1: of the career. I don't worry about that. I worry
23:34
Speaker 1: about the dominance, and so if he does get in tonight,
23:36
Speaker 1: it is well deserving. He's one of the best players
23:38
Speaker 1: that the league has ever seen. Bucky, thanks for the time.
23:41
Speaker 1: As always, we'll talk to you a getting next week.
23:44
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Man Brooks NFL network analysts joining us

Speaker 1: maybe next week you can expect one big n anouncement
24:00
Speaker 1: with all the coaches on one and maybe some availability
24:04
Speaker 1: of possibly the coordinators. That's down the road a little bit,
24:07
Speaker 1: still a little work to be done on the Jaguars
24:09
Speaker 1: coaching staff in the days ahead. We're back in a

25:31
Speaker 1: energy at in l A. You know, Honor showed tonight

Speaker 1: that they change the order a little bit. In the past,
25:36
Speaker 1: they that honors the night before the Super Bowl. Now

25:41
Speaker 1: kicking off the Hall of Fame week, Tony. So take
25:45

25:51

Speaker 1: I like that for sure, Tony. Boselli with us. You
26:35
Speaker 1: heard you made the media rouse today on Radio Row.
26:37
Speaker 1: You do that most years. Of course, in the years
26:40
Speaker 1: past you've been involved with the broadcast on Westwood One.
26:43
Speaker 1: Not this year, but with the Hall of Fame stuff.
26:45
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're a popular guy today on Radio Row. Yeah,
26:48
Speaker 1: it was a busy one. It was good. Um. It's funny,
26:51
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about all of fame, like, well,
26:53
Speaker 1: we'll find out tomorrow. I think some of them wish
26:55
Speaker 1: I would have come tomorrow and not today so that
26:58
Speaker 1: the you know, more details around the thing. Um. But yeah,
27:03
Speaker 1: it's it's almost back to the normal JP. I guess
27:06
Speaker 1: you know the Super Bowl and Radio Row. It's probably
27:09
Speaker 1: what it was pre COVID, Um, you know, not as
27:13
Speaker 1: many stations. But it was good. It's good to have
27:16
Speaker 1: it back. You know, you can sense the build up
27:19
Speaker 1: and you've been to the days before kind of each
27:21
Speaker 1: each day, but as you get closer to the game,
27:23
Speaker 1: there's more intensity and more exertimen. So it was good
27:28
Speaker 1: to be out there today. Tony Basselli with US prior
27:30
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars left tackle finalists for the Pro Pro
27:34
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame. We'll find out tonight NFL Honors
27:36
Speaker 1: Show nine o'clock on ABC, ESPN Plus and NFL Network. Uh,
27:42
Speaker 1: you know, all right, let's talk big picture Tony Boselli
27:45
Speaker 1: career stuff. Since this is the Tony BASSELLI day to
27:47
Speaker 1: do that and we don't do that a lot. What
27:50
Speaker 1: is your top career highlight Tony? Um, that's a great question,
27:57
Speaker 1: j P. There's so many. I mean, I mean an
27:59
Speaker 1: overall over arching highlights. Just being a part of the
28:02
Speaker 1: organization from the beginning, you know, being the first pick
28:04
Speaker 1: and being on the expansion team and and kind of
28:07
Speaker 1: having the success we did. It was an amazing Obviously
28:13
Speaker 1: that nineties playoff run we had with two big wins
28:16
Speaker 1: in Buffalo into Denver. Will I'll never forget ninety We have,
28:20
Speaker 1: you know, a great team. Unfortunately couldn't get over the
28:22
Speaker 1: hump because of the Titans. You know, there's you know,
28:27
Speaker 1: being able to go playing Pro Bowls and why as
28:29
Speaker 1: a young player was remarkable. Making you know, the playoffs
28:33
Speaker 1: four straight years was fun. You know, there's but at
28:36
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I think my favorite part
28:38
Speaker 1: is the guys in the locker room. You know you missed,
28:40
Speaker 1: you missed that, you know, camaraderie and getting together and
28:43
Speaker 1: laughing at joking and and going out and competing together. So, um,
28:47
Speaker 1: there's a lot. It was a lot. It was great.
28:49
Speaker 1: It was a lot of amazing times, um that I
28:52
Speaker 1: had as a Jaxsonel Jaguar. Is that the whole of
28:54
Speaker 1: fame calling? Do you need to get that vone call Tony?
28:56
Speaker 1: I don't Is that them? I thought? I don't know.
28:59
Speaker 1: I got every I got everyone of their brother in
29:02
Speaker 1: this room right now, trying to get ready, all my kids, life,
29:10
Speaker 1: people everywhere. It's chaos in here, JP. It's like another
29:15
Speaker 1: day at the Bassel household. I've seen this in person before.
29:18
Speaker 1: This is how it works all the time. You've been
29:20
Speaker 1: to the you've been to the house, you've been over
29:22
Speaker 1: for holidays, so you know how it is um around here.
29:26
Speaker 1: That's what they just called Thursday in Land. For sure.
29:29
Speaker 1: It's a normal day. Really. All happened to be in
29:33
Speaker 1: one hotel room. So interesting. Last couple of minutes with
29:38
Speaker 1: you will let you get on your way and I
29:39
Speaker 1: get a lot coming on. So you know who was
29:43
Speaker 1: when you were coming up as a young player, who
29:46
Speaker 1: did you look up to as a left tackle? You
29:48
Speaker 1: know what I want to play like this guy who
29:50
Speaker 1: was your your guy you looked up to. Yeah, I
29:53
Speaker 1: mean I didn't even play offensive linement until I got
29:56
Speaker 1: my junior in high school. Um, you know, I was
29:58
Speaker 1: like everyone else wanted to play quarterback or you know,
30:01
Speaker 1: defense or do something. It wasn't so my junior, my
30:05
Speaker 1: high school coach, Sam Borgana moved me the offensive line.
30:07
Speaker 1: So I didn't even really you know, like most kids.
30:09
Speaker 1: He watched the ball. And then I think when I
30:11
Speaker 1: got to see I was fortunate to back my freshman year,
30:16
Speaker 1: Pat Harlow was the starter, and uh it was the
30:19
Speaker 1: former first roundraft picks. I gotta watch him play. You know.
30:21
Speaker 1: Anthony Munos was a S grad and obviously that you know,
30:25
Speaker 1: my opinion, the greatest left hackle ever played the game.
30:28
Speaker 1: You know, So I had watched tape on him, um
30:31
Speaker 1: and kind of model my game and see what he
30:33
Speaker 1: was doing and kind of the techniques and so you know.
30:35
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest thing JP is is I
30:38
Speaker 1: had great coaches. I mean the coaches I had, um,
30:42
Speaker 1: we're remarkable. I mentioned Sam Bugano is my head coach
30:45
Speaker 1: in high school. Um, John Matsko, who's still coaching in
30:49
Speaker 1: the NFL today was my offense line coach at USC.
30:51
Speaker 1: The first two years after that it was Mike Barry,
30:54
Speaker 1: who coached all over college and was an amazing influence
30:59
Speaker 1: in my life. And then I out to the pros
31:00
Speaker 1: and had another really good offensive line coach and Mike Mazor. So,
31:04
Speaker 1: you know, so much of the things that have influenced
31:06
Speaker 1: me and contributed to whatever success I had was I
31:10
Speaker 1: was fortunate that God put really good people in my
31:12
Speaker 1: in my path. John Ozer talked with Anthony Munio's yesterday.
31:16
Speaker 1: Tony and Munio said that, you know, he was offered
31:20
Speaker 1: the offensive line coaching job the year before you got
31:23
Speaker 1: to SC and didn't take it. He said, if I
31:26
Speaker 1: had taken it, I might have messed up. Tony was selling.
31:28
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe. I don't think I
31:30
Speaker 1: believe that Anthony's you know, one of the things that
31:34
Speaker 1: I always loved about watching Anthony he was such a technician,
31:37
Speaker 1: great athlete, I mean an amazing athlete for a human
31:40
Speaker 1: being his size, but the way he approached the game
31:43
Speaker 1: and how um he performed so well because of the
31:47
Speaker 1: great technique that he had, So I bet you he
31:48
Speaker 1: would have been an awesome coach. Um. So I've appreciated
31:52
Speaker 1: that friendship. You know, it's kind of growing as I
31:55
Speaker 1: got into the NFL, and uh, it continues to grow.
31:58
Speaker 1: So he's someone I've always looked up to. He's great players, great,
32:01
Speaker 1: he's a great person, great husband, father, um. And so
32:05
Speaker 1: having him on say nice things about she is always
32:08
Speaker 1: a pretty cool thing. All right, Tony, We'll leave you
32:10
Speaker 1: this is It may not be a fair question for you,
32:12
Speaker 1: but you're here, so I'm gonna ask you what would
32:15
Speaker 1: what would this mean for first off, the Jaguars organization
32:19
Speaker 1: having the first Hall of Fame player in franchise history,
32:23
Speaker 1: And what would it mean for the city of Jacksonville
32:26
Speaker 1: and Jaguars fans to to finally have somebody with a
32:29
Speaker 1: bronze bust in Canton? Um? I mean they There's probably
32:34
Speaker 1: others that could answer that better than I can, but

35:07
Speaker 1: or thanks to John Osier as well and Bucky Brooks
35:11
Speaker 1: who joined us from Los Angeles. We we talked to
35:14
Speaker 1: Tony's a moment ago and we're asking him, hey, who'd
35:16
Speaker 1: you watch? Who'd you like? You know when you were
35:19
Speaker 1: coming up? Anthony Munos was the name that he discussed,
35:23
Speaker 1: and we mentioned that conversation with John Osian. Let's still
35:26
Speaker 1: run a bit of that now. It's available on Jaguars
35:28
Speaker 1: dot com the full thing. But Anthony Monos yesterday at
35:31
Speaker 1: Radio Row with John Osier about Tony Basselli's chances of
35:35
Speaker 1: getting in the Hall of Fame and his ability as
35:38
Speaker 1: a player. Hopefully, Uh, it's the way it is over
35:43
Speaker 1: for Tony. But you know, we talked about it all
35:45
Speaker 1: the time. A guy's amazing player. I mean, he's a
35:47
Speaker 1: great person as we all know. But uh, I had
35:50
Speaker 1: a chance to broadcast a couple of games, and you know,
35:52
Speaker 1: we've we've I've kind of laughed over the years. Uh.
35:55
Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't take the job because I might
35:57
Speaker 1: have messed him up. But he was at USC and
35:59
Speaker 1: John Robins and offered me the offensive line job the
36:02
Speaker 1: year after I retired and Tony was there. So maybe
36:04
Speaker 1: it was good that I went into broadcasting and didn't
36:07
Speaker 1: coach Tony. That would have been fun though. But yeah,
36:09
Speaker 1: the guy is just amazing. I mean, you know, the size, strange, speed, technical,
36:13
Speaker 1: you know, the technlo part of it, and then you
36:15
Speaker 1: know a little bit of the nasty streak that I like,
36:17
Speaker 1: or maybe a lot of this, but yeah, I'm curious
36:19
Speaker 1: to here and see what happened. So yeah, I'm a
36:22
Speaker 1: big Tony fan from an x is and nose point
36:24
Speaker 1: of view. What made him great? I mean, you play
36:26
Speaker 1: the game as well as anybody. Well you know what
36:28
Speaker 1: I said. I mean, not only is what six seven,
36:30
Speaker 1: you know, three three thirty whatever he weighed, but is
36:33
Speaker 1: you know, just the athleticism and had the ability to
36:35
Speaker 1: move out in space, you know for a big guy.
36:38
Speaker 1: You know, the leverage he played with and the hands
36:41
Speaker 1: that he I mean, it's just it's everything that you'd
36:43
Speaker 1: like to see an offensive lineman doing, especially an offensive
36:46
Speaker 1: tackle left tackle out in space. You know, like I said,
36:49
Speaker 1: he's a smart guy. I mean, you know when you
36:51
Speaker 1: get a smart guy out there that knows how to
36:53
Speaker 1: change it up when you're planning that that makes a
36:55
Speaker 1: big difference. And then you know you're throwing that that
36:59
Speaker 1: nasty streak. To me, that that is ingredients for a
37:03
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame tackle you How well do you know him?
37:07
Speaker 1: And what would this honor mean to him to happen?
37:09
Speaker 1: Know him pretty well? Uh? You know again, when he
37:12
Speaker 1: was at SC I watched him play and then I'll
37:14
Speaker 1: never forget. I was with ESPN at the time and
37:17
Speaker 1: they flew me down to down to Jacksonville and I
37:21
Speaker 1: wore sweats. You can't wore sweats when we went out
37:23
Speaker 1: in the field and they just rolled the camera and
37:25
Speaker 1: we must have been out there for an hour and
37:27
Speaker 1: we talked about technique, mental part of the game. I
37:31
Speaker 1: asked him questions, he asked me questions. So I got
37:33
Speaker 1: to know him and then just see him. You know,
37:35
Speaker 1: there's a golf tournament that you know, just uh finished
37:38
Speaker 1: after twenty years in Orlando, and he was always there
37:40
Speaker 1: and I always went down, so, you know, just different events,
37:42
Speaker 1: I've had a chance to be around him and uh
37:45
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, I would say I know him
37:47
Speaker 1: pretty well and uh and it would not only be
37:51
Speaker 1: exciting to hear that because of him and his family
37:54
Speaker 1: and you know, of course first of all his football,
37:57
Speaker 1: his family, and it doesn't hurt that we're both Trojan.
37:59
Speaker 1: So have another trojan alignment. That would be you know,
38:02
Speaker 1: to join Ron Nix and Yarry and you know, Bruce
38:05
Speaker 1: Matthews and myself would be pretty awesome. Now, things like
38:08
Speaker 1: this tend to become a live sales, but I've read her.
38:10
Speaker 1: Maybe even you told me once he was as good
38:13
Speaker 1: as anybody who ever did it? Uh? Is it fair
38:16
Speaker 1: to ask you where he ranked? You know, it's tough
38:18
Speaker 1: because you know I put him up there. You know,
38:20
Speaker 1: Walter Jones, I really enjoyed watching guys like really Rope
38:24
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Ogden Um. I'm trying to think of some
38:27
Speaker 1: other guys, but you know, he would be probably a
38:30
Speaker 1: handful of guys I would put up there in the
38:31
Speaker 1: upper echelon as far as guys that when I watched,
38:34
Speaker 1: I said, I love watching them. Pretty impressive. The humility there.
38:38
Speaker 1: He didn't mention himself. You're probably never one. So uh,
38:42
Speaker 1: final question, how deserving would this honor be for him?
38:46
Speaker 1: I mean, he's clearly a Hall of Fame guy. Well, no,
38:49
Speaker 1: it's very deserving. I mean, if you know, if he
38:52
Speaker 1: just if he gets that call or whatever, that he's
38:55
Speaker 1: in very deserve mat because to me, it's, you know,
38:58
Speaker 1: the deserving part of it is what you good on
39:00
Speaker 1: the field. And I think people talk about his career
39:04
Speaker 1: wasn't all Hey, there's guys that have played, you know,
39:07
Speaker 1: and they were the best when they were playing, and
39:10
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. If you're one of the
39:11
Speaker 1: best ever and one of the best would play. So
39:14
Speaker 1: I would say that deserving if he gets that. Anthony
39:18
Speaker 1: Monio's yesterday Hall of Fame tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals,
39:22
Speaker 1: joining John Osian on radio road at Super Bowl fifty six.
39:25
Speaker 1: The full conversation between those two available on Jaguars dot Com.
39:30
Speaker 1: Speaking of conversations, earlier this week, knew Jaguars head coach
39:34
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson was in the building in fact over the weekend.
39:36
Speaker 1: He's in the building, yes, but he was here for
39:38
Speaker 1: the press conference on Saturday after the fact, a sit
39:42
Speaker 1: down interview one on one with Jaguars dot Com senior
39:46
Speaker 1: correspondent Brian Sexton, and a lot of conversation about the
39:49
Speaker 1: quarterback and much more. A great opportunity to really to
39:54
Speaker 1: really flip this organization and get it, get it back
39:57
Speaker 1: in the direction that it that it's I know that
39:59
Speaker 1: that Sean Khan wants to to go, and we all
40:00
Speaker 1: wanted to go. And you know, to have have the
40:02
Speaker 1: quarterback in places obviously a key thing. And it kind
40:05
Speaker 1: of drew me to obviously this this franchise. And then
40:08
Speaker 1: you know, as you mentioned the draft, capital and and resources,
40:12
Speaker 1: it's just one piece of one piece of the time.
40:14
Speaker 1: You're the first Jaguars head coach who has played the
40:17
Speaker 1: position to quarterback. How does your experience as a player
40:21
Speaker 1: translate to coaching the position. I just feel like I
40:24
Speaker 1: can see it through the quarterback's eyes. You know. I
40:27
Speaker 1: was never the starter a lot, you know, but I
40:29
Speaker 1: had had that career backup, so I was always in
40:31
Speaker 1: a kind of a coaching sort of a mentor. You know.
40:34
Speaker 1: I see the game through the quarterback's eyes, and I
40:36
Speaker 1: think that's important to understand what they're what they're seeing
40:39
Speaker 1: with those guys are seeing out on the football field.
40:41
Speaker 1: And then obviously you haven't been coached by some some
40:43
Speaker 1: great coaches and you know, head coaches in my career.
40:46
Speaker 1: It's something now that I can you know, pass on
40:48
Speaker 1: to it to a guy like Trevor and just just
40:50
Speaker 1: create that desire which is already there, but you want
40:53
Speaker 1: to enhance the desire to to be great and he
40:55
Speaker 1: wants to be He wants to be that way. I
40:57
Speaker 1: want that for him. And again, teams that have this
41:00
Speaker 1: position right are the ones that have had success in
41:03
Speaker 1: this league. And um, you know Jacksonville has gotten it right,
41:09
Speaker 1: Thank thank thank you. I would doing mane. Yeah, how
41:16
Speaker 1: you doing? Mask? This roster I think has some players
41:20
Speaker 1: on it, guys like Josh Allen who are hidden Jim
41:23
Speaker 1: because this team hasn't had success and people haven't seen him.
41:25
Speaker 1: Do you see some promise in this roster or do
41:27
Speaker 1: you see this as a long haul job? No? I
41:31
Speaker 1: mean to me, the guys like Josh Allen, you know
41:33
Speaker 1: on this roster are those guys that that are in
41:35
Speaker 1: the right spots, right positions to be successful. And and
41:39
Speaker 1: this is the other thing that attracted me to to
41:41
Speaker 1: this this job is the fact that these players are
41:44
Speaker 1: hungry to win and that's all they want to do.
41:46
Speaker 1: They just want to play ball. These are these are
41:48
Speaker 1: these are kids who just want to be out there
41:49
Speaker 1: on the grass. They want to compete and win games.
41:52
Speaker 1: And that that is a that is a key recipe
41:55
Speaker 1: to the success in the National Football League with teams
41:58
Speaker 1: that you see you're in a year out, you know,
42:00
Speaker 1: vying for those for those postseason spots. So how do
42:03
Speaker 1: you balance the need to win now? Right? The owner
42:06
Speaker 1: told the media and Jacksonville weeks ago, months ago. Now, uh,
42:10
Speaker 1: you know, even want a five year plan. He wanted
42:11
Speaker 1: to win um and you just talked about the importance
42:14
Speaker 1: of that, but you have to be future focused also,
42:17
Speaker 1: how do you balance that. It's it's a fine line.
42:19
Speaker 1: It's really a fine line. Listen, I want to win.
42:21
Speaker 1: I want to win tomorrow. You know. It's it's something
42:23
Speaker 1: that that that we get into this business to win
42:25
Speaker 1: football games. That's where we get hired, right, And really
42:28
Speaker 1: that's the reason sometimes we get fired. We just don't
42:30
Speaker 1: we don't win enough games. But to me, the foundations
42:33
Speaker 1: here and now you just build upon that, right with
42:35
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff and the front office and obviously
42:38
Speaker 1: again as we talked with it with the quarterback, and
42:40
Speaker 1: you just you just start chipping away at it. And
42:43
Speaker 1: it's and it's a it's a it's a methodical process.
42:45
Speaker 1: But then then comes the day when when everything kind
42:48
Speaker 1: of is that AHA moment and the light kind of
42:50
Speaker 1: turns on. And then when it does, that's that's a
42:53
Speaker 1: beautiful thing when that happens, because your team's your team's united, um,
42:57
Speaker 1: and you start winning games. Having a portion of the conversation,
43:01
Speaker 1: the full sit down available on Jaguars dot Com. Doug
43:04
Speaker 1: Peterson and Jaguars dot Com senior correspondent Brian Sexton, it
43:09
Speaker 1: was a it was a fun saturday at t I A.
43:12
Speaker 1: Bank Field. I have Peterson in the building taking a
43:15
Speaker 1: look around for the first time. The press conference upstairs
43:18
Speaker 1: in the West Club. We had the live coverage on
43:20
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com LI pregame show, and then Peterson joined
43:24
Speaker 1: us right after the fact, and I got to get
43:26
Speaker 1: in his head a little bit. And he's been right
43:28
Speaker 1: after busy, of course, with all the reports coming out
43:31
Speaker 1: of these assistant coach hires taking place, reports that they're
43:35
Speaker 1: in the building already, some of these guys already getting
43:38
Speaker 1: to work behind a little bit after a lengthy search.
43:42
Speaker 1: But as Doug Peterson was saying during the press conference,
43:45
Speaker 1: he's quite confident that, um, this thing should get done
43:49
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, at least on the on the coaching side.
43:53
Speaker 1: And as we said, earlier. Once it's all hired and
43:57
Speaker 1: close to done, you can expect one big announcement the
44:00
Speaker 1: entire coaching staff on that and the next question is
44:03
Speaker 1: what happens with the executive vice president roll That shot
44:06
Speaker 1: con discussed during the press conference there out to the league.
44:09
Speaker 1: They've apparently got some interviews lined up. Uh, that will
44:13
Speaker 1: be in the next couple of weeks time. I think
44:14
Speaker 1: the next big storyline for the Jaguars today, though, of course,
44:19
Speaker 1: is Tony Basselli day. Let's see tonight nine o'clock the
44:24
Speaker 1: NFL Honors Show is on NFL Network, ESPN Plus and ABC.
44:28
Speaker 1: That's when they'll announce the Modern Era electees from the
44:32
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of two, and we
44:35
Speaker 1: hope Tony Boselli is a part of that. We heard
44:38
Speaker 1: from Tony coming up. A couple other Jaguars notes today.
44:41
Speaker 1: Are there reports this morning that Tony Khan was preparing
44:45
Speaker 1: a run for Congress, Well those are false. Tony Khan
44:48
Speaker 1: came out on Twitter himself with a wrestling style tweet,
44:53
Speaker 1: if you will, and said, the fact checking standard of
44:57
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk reporting is far lower than that of
45:00
Speaker 1: a w's roving reporter. Tony Schivanni. I'm definitely not running
45:04
Speaker 1: for Congress. This filing is faker than Eddie Gilbert's apology
45:08
Speaker 1: to Tommy rich In. I don't know what that means,
45:12
Speaker 1: but they have it from Tony Kahn's mouth to your ears. Uh.
45:16
Speaker 1: He is not running for Congress in District number four.
45:20
Speaker 1: He said so himself today. Real news though, the Jaguars
45:25
Speaker 1: are headed back to Wimbley Stadium. As part of the
45:28
Speaker 1: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference yesterday, he announced two
45:33
Speaker 1: games are actually four games coming up in Germany, including
45:36
Speaker 1: this year in Munich, and of course the league has
45:40
Speaker 1: two games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium already on the books
45:43
Speaker 1: in London. The Jaguars not long after that announcement announced
45:47
Speaker 1: that they will play at Wimbley Stadium in two and
45:50
Speaker 1: return to a place where they started playing games in
45:53
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and they've gone every year since they missed
45:56
Speaker 1: the COVID year of last season, they win as part
46:00
Speaker 1: the NFL package at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to play the
46:03
Speaker 1: Dolphins there and got the win on the long field
46:06
Speaker 1: goals at the end of the game. To get that
46:08
Speaker 1: done next season, back to Wimbley Stadium. We'll see what
46:12
Speaker 1: the future holds as well, but as of now, the
46:15
Speaker 1: game announced m the schedule and the opponents will be
46:18
Speaker 1: announced closer to if not right at the schedule announcement,
46:23
Speaker 1: which usually is right around the draft, but you can
46:25
Speaker 1: probably expect that in early May here in the campaign.
46:29
Speaker 1: So this year, the NFL is scheduled to have five
46:32
Speaker 1: International Series games, three in London, the one at Wembley,
46:35
Speaker 1: into at Tottenham Hotspur, one in Germany and Munich and
46:39
Speaker 1: then Mexico City will host a game as well, and
46:42
Speaker 1: each team around the league starting with this season will
46:46
Speaker 1: have a rotation of games over a number of years
46:50
Speaker 1: in International Series games, so everybody will be involved at
46:55
Speaker 1: least at some point. Moving ahead, the Jaguars of course
46:58
Speaker 1: will be involved. It feels like most every year moving ahead,
47:01
Speaker 1: and certainly this year at Wimbley Stadium, the national stadium
47:05
Speaker 1: in England. The first year for the Jags of course
47:08
Speaker 1: back in as we said, missed out in so the
47:12
Speaker 1: you have it, that's the biggest news of the week
47:14
Speaker 1: of course. Tonight. Uh let's all cross our fingers for
47:17
Speaker 1: Tony Basselli. He sounded confident there. You know, he's got
47:20
Speaker 1: the family there and we'll see what the official word
47:23
Speaker 1: is coming out. The accolades we know are all there. Um,
47:27
Speaker 1: we we've heard about him for years and years and years.
47:30
Speaker 1: Hopefully tonight is the night Tony Basselli makes his way
47:34
Speaker 1: into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There is another
47:38
Speaker 1: Jaguars connection that is a finalist tonight as well, that
47:41
Speaker 1: should be knocking on the door to Leroy Butler is
47:44
Speaker 1: the other Butler, of course, twelve year player with the
47:48
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. He's from right here at Lee High
47:51
Speaker 1: School in Jacksonville. I went to Florida state, of course,
47:55
Speaker 1: and could he get in? Could it be a douvall
47:58
Speaker 1: double tonight if you will, with Butler from here, Baselli
48:01
Speaker 1: the first Jaguars player drafted, It is possible that could
48:05
Speaker 1: happen tonight. That would be a heck of a run.
48:07
Speaker 1: And by the way, if this all happens, if you've
48:11
Speaker 1: never been to Canton, Ohio, why not, uh, you know,
48:15
Speaker 1: make a make a trek up there and do it
48:17
Speaker 1: this time. If this is the case, if these both certainly,
48:19
Speaker 1: if both of these players make it into the Hall
48:22
