Speaker 1: Fame defensive end Bruce Smith introducing Vaselli as a member
1:19
Speaker 1: of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of It
1:22
Speaker 1: was a landmark moment in franchise history. The first Hall

Speaker 1: of Fame player for the Jaguars, the first draft pick
1:27
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars franchise, is now in Canton. He will
1:30
Speaker 1: be forever enshrined with that bronze bust. After the announcement,
1:34
Speaker 1: the best of the press conference in l A. I
1:37
Speaker 1: did lie to a lot of people. Leary told me
1:41
Speaker 1: not to live but yeah, that was probably the hardest part.
1:45
Speaker 1: You know, we found out a couple of weeks ago,
1:46
Speaker 1: and you have a bunch of people you're close to,
1:48
Speaker 1: asking questions. You're trying to make plans like hey, what
1:51
Speaker 1: are you doing for the Super Bowl? You're trying to
1:52
Speaker 1: make up a reason to go to l A and uh.
1:55
Speaker 1: But it was well worth it. Hey, Tony, this is
1:57
Speaker 1: for you. This is a Kylin asked with the three
1:59
Speaker 1: point conversion um. You have amongst all of the gentlemen
2:02
Speaker 1: up here, happy to distinguished honor of being the first
2:04
Speaker 1: of a franchise to get into the Hall. First of all,
2:08
Speaker 1: talk about how much more gravity that adds to the honor.
2:10
Speaker 1: Welcome to Canton, By the way, and then as a
2:12
Speaker 1: follow up, who do you think should follow you next
2:14
Speaker 1: into the Hall from Jacksonville? UM, Well, you know, first
2:18
Speaker 1: of all, it's a huge honor. I mean, I think
2:20
Speaker 1: every guy up here said that. I don't think you
2:23
Speaker 1: don't get here by yourself. There's a bunch of people
2:25
Speaker 1: in my life that helped me get to this point.
2:28
Speaker 1: In in part of those those guys I played with
2:31
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, it's the coaches I had. UM, it was
2:35
Speaker 1: fortunate to have a guy like Tom Coughlin, who probably
2:38
Speaker 1: deserves to be in the Hall of Fame one day
2:39
Speaker 1: what he's done as a coach. Mike Maser is an
2:42
Speaker 1: offensive line coach. I had a lot of good player
2:44
Speaker 1: than guys around me. UM. And so to be able
2:47
Speaker 1: to represent that that organization. UM, since I got drafted
2:51
Speaker 1: there is the first pick. And now going into the
2:54
Speaker 1: profit ball fame is something that I'm proud of. UM.
2:58
Speaker 1: I take it seriously sending the organization and it's something
3:02
Speaker 1: I love. Uh. And you know, people ask me all
3:04
Speaker 1: the time, you know, do you wish you'd have gone
3:06
Speaker 1: to you know, the Packers or the Patriots. He's great
3:09
Speaker 1: historic franchises. And I said, I'm good with the Jaguars.
3:12
Speaker 1: I'm good and uh, I like representing and I like
3:16
Speaker 1: that we're the first pick. As far as the next guy,
3:19
Speaker 1: I think I got opportunity played a lot of really
3:21
Speaker 1: good offensive players, two of the best in that era,
3:24
Speaker 1: and Leroy played against these guys guy named Fred Taylor
3:27
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Smith as good as anyone who ever played
3:29
Speaker 1: the game. So I'm pretty biased to those guys. I'm
3:32
Speaker 1: wondering what it meant to have him announce you tonight. Yeah,
3:36
Speaker 1: that was pretty good. That was pretty cool. Um, I
3:39
Speaker 1: mean I don't think that. I mean, if you notice
3:42
Speaker 1: he had a different color jacket, he had the red jacket,
3:45
Speaker 1: the top Hunter. So that's kind of like the Hall
3:46
Speaker 1: of Fame and Hall of Famers and uh and you know,
3:50
Speaker 1: obviously we you know, I had the opportunity to play
3:53
Speaker 1: against him in big games, playoff games, and he was
3:56
Speaker 1: the great I mean one of the greatest ever. And
3:58
Speaker 1: so to have him part of the uh this evening,
4:01
Speaker 1: because that was probably the big coming out game for
4:03
Speaker 1: me in my second year. Uh, it was it was special.
4:07
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool. It was a neat a neat moment,
4:10
Speaker 1: Tony congratulations. Um, you know what Jacksonville has been through
4:15
Speaker 1: the last twenty two years with professional football. I mean, ah,
4:20
Speaker 1: what does what does tonight mean for for the fans
4:23
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville? And um, does this help give them hope
4:29
Speaker 1: for the future of the franchise? Well, based on Twitter
4:32
Speaker 1: and my text messages, I think they're pretty happy. So, um,
4:36
Speaker 1: you know. And for I'm happy for him. I mean,
4:38
Speaker 1: I love that place and and I've talked about a
4:42
Speaker 1: bunch that representing the city, in the in the fan
4:45
Speaker 1: base and the organization is important to me. It always
4:47
Speaker 1: has been, and this is another opportunity for me to
4:49
Speaker 1: do that. Uh, as far as you know, the lack
4:54
Speaker 1: of the success or lack of success more lack of
4:58
Speaker 1: the organization, Um, you know that. Hopefully that's gonna change.
5:01
Speaker 1: I believe it will. Got a new coach. I'm excited
5:05
Speaker 1: about that with Doug Peterson. Hopefully this is the start
5:07
Speaker 1: of a good two and get get things on the
5:11
Speaker 1: right track. And uh can't you can't change what's happened
5:13
Speaker 1: in the past, but they hopefully we're gonna have some
5:15
Speaker 1: better days ahead. And again, like I like I said,
5:18
Speaker 1: I hope this is the start of it. Hall of
5:19
Speaker 1: Fame left tackle Anthony Monos was part of the moment
5:22
Speaker 1: that Basselly found out. Mono was caught up with Jaguars

5:34
Speaker 1: What made him great? I mean, you play the game
5:36
Speaker 1: as well as anybody. Well, you know what I said.
5:39
Speaker 1: I mean, not only is what six seven, you know,
5:40
Speaker 1: three three thirty whatever he weighed, but is you know,
5:43
Speaker 1: just the athleticism he had, the ability to move out
5:46
Speaker 1: in space, you know for a big guy. You know,
5:48
Speaker 1: the leverage he played with and the hands that he
5:51
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's everything that you'd like to
5:53
Speaker 1: see an offensive lineman do, especially an offensive tackle left
5:57
Speaker 1: tackle out in space. And then, like I said, he's
5:59
Speaker 1: a smart guys. I mean, you know when you get
6:01
Speaker 1: a smart guyt there that knows how to change it
6:03
Speaker 1: up when you're planning, that that makes a big difference.
6:06
Speaker 1: And then you know you're throwing that nasty streak in.
6:10
Speaker 1: To me, that that is ingredients for a Hall of
6:13
Speaker 1: Fame tackle. The video of Basselli finding out he's headed

9:13
Speaker 1: have any hand in that or did you know? I
9:16

Speaker 1: you can figure out who is going to introduce the
9:21
Speaker 1: other people, or at least you can have a guest
9:24
Speaker 1: because of a team connection or you know something prior.
9:28
Speaker 1: I had no idea. When they said someone, I was like,
9:30
Speaker 1: maybe it'll be Anthon Millio's, I mean the left Apple.

10:12
Speaker 1: in the playoff game that kind of set my career
10:14
Speaker 1: in a different course. Um. So that was special, and

Speaker 1: the fans in Philly. I think he built a culture
17:29
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, a championship culture and in short order, uh
17:33
Speaker 1: and what he accomplished in Philadelphia should not be understated
17:37
Speaker 1: at all. Remember, he drafted Carson Wentz and then lost
17:42
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz in the month of December in the Super
17:45
Speaker 1: Bowl season and had to switch gears to Nick Foles,
17:48
Speaker 1: A guy that you guys know very well. He lost
17:51
Speaker 1: his starting middle linebacker, he lost his starting left tackle,
17:57
Speaker 1: he lost his best specialty teams player, and then they
18:02
Speaker 1: were underdogs in each of their postseason games and they
18:06
Speaker 1: had to face Tom Brady, and Tom Brady put up
18:08
Speaker 1: a record number of yards passing in the Super Bowl
18:13
Speaker 1: and he overcame that with some really aggressive and fearless
18:17
Speaker 1: play calling, some magic by Nick Foles. So what he
18:20
Speaker 1: accomplished in Philadelphia, bringing the first Super Bowl title with
18:23
Speaker 1: the first Lombardi Trophy to a city that was starred
18:27
Speaker 1: per championship, just like Jacksonville, I think it is very
18:31
Speaker 1: instructive for the people of Jacksonville. Now to the Jaguars
18:34
Speaker 1: on the roster and most notably quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He
18:38
Speaker 1: was in the building along with a few teammates Saturday
18:41
Speaker 1: to meet the new head coach in person, and he
18:43
Speaker 1: stopped by to visit with Jaguars Dot Com reporter Ashton
18:46
Speaker 1: Sullivan and gave his reaction, We're really excited, obviously, you
18:50
Speaker 1: know I talked to him briefly on the phone. Um,
18:52
Speaker 1: I guess that was Thursday night, and then today first
18:54
Speaker 1: time meet him in person. Um, just seems like a
18:57
Speaker 1: really great guy. Obviously, he's had a lot of success.
18:59
Speaker 1: You know, his resume kind of speaks for itself, and
19:02
Speaker 1: you know he's an offensive guy. You know, he played
19:04
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. All those things, you know, make
19:07
Speaker 1: me really excited and something that I'm just excited to
19:09
Speaker 1: get to work with him and see what he brings
19:11
Speaker 1: to the table. So I think everybody's excited. Everybody's really relieved.
19:15
Speaker 1: You know, we got our guy, and and to be
19:16
Speaker 1: able to move forward and just go to work now
19:18
Speaker 1: is a good feeling. You mentioned that phone call. I
19:20
Speaker 1: thought that was so optimistic. When the news is broke
19:24
Speaker 1: late Thursday night, like eleven thirty and he's on the
19:26
Speaker 1: phone with you talking to you when that news breaks.
19:29
Speaker 1: What was that phone call like, Yeah, just discussing, you know,
19:32
Speaker 1: kind of first just kind of get to know each
19:34
Speaker 1: other a little bit. You know, we hadn't really talked before,
19:36
Speaker 1: so get to know each other. That was the first
19:38
Speaker 1: part of the phone call. Then after that, just talking
19:40
Speaker 1: a little bit of ball, kind of his philosophy, things
19:42
Speaker 1: that he likes to do. Obviously, like I said, he
19:44
Speaker 1: played the quarterback position, so he sees it through through
19:47
Speaker 1: my Lens more so than a lot of coaches that
19:49
Speaker 1: haven't played the position. So that was really cool to
19:52
Speaker 1: you know, talk to him and hear his his take
19:54
Speaker 1: on a lot of things and just you know, vaguely
19:56
Speaker 1: his plan. Obviously you can't get into all the details,
19:58
Speaker 1: but you know, just really excit. He seems super prepared,
20:01
Speaker 1: like he's got a great plan, and um, I think
20:03
Speaker 1: it's gonna go over really well with the whole team. Yeah,
20:05
Speaker 1: and he seems like just a genuine good guy. I know,
20:08
Speaker 1: we have gotten so many texts and calls saying you're
20:10
Speaker 1: gonna love this guy. He's gonna fit in, So I
20:12
Speaker 1: can imagine if we're getting text you're getting a lot
20:14
Speaker 1: of text Yeah. I mean I've heard a lot of
20:16
Speaker 1: great things. Um, he's really close to a lot of
20:18
Speaker 1: people at Clemson. Actually, the first time I saw him
20:21
Speaker 1: in person, we didn't really meet, but I was a freshman,
20:24
Speaker 1: just got to Clemson and spring practice, and that was
20:27
Speaker 1: after they won the Super Bowl in Philadelphia, so he
20:29
Speaker 1: was there. Coach swinne and invited him to to speak
20:31
Speaker 1: at one of their clinics, and he came to practice
20:33
Speaker 1: and talk to the team. So that was then and
20:36
Speaker 1: coach Sweeney told him. Apparently he told me on the phone.
20:39
Speaker 1: Coach Swainey told him, then, hey, watch out for this guy.
20:41
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna be a good one one day.
20:42
Speaker 1: And then now you know he's he's the head coach
20:45
Speaker 1: here and we're you know, on the same team. So
20:46
Speaker 1: it's it's cool how everything comes full circle. It's a
20:49
Speaker 1: small world. And just really excited to work with him.
20:52
Speaker 1: The full interview available on Jaguars dot com and Jack's
20:54
Speaker 1: social media. Finally, we close it this week with Peterson's
20:58
Speaker 1: one on one conversation was Senior correspondent Brian Sexton on
21:02
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com. Back in the locker room after year away,
21:05
Speaker 1: first time in your adult life you're away from football.
21:09
Speaker 1: I it feel to be back in the lock It
21:11
Speaker 1: feels it feels great. You know, it feels it feels
21:13
Speaker 1: like home obviously. I mean, you know, playing football in
21:16
Speaker 1: my whole career and even as a kid, you know,
21:18
Speaker 1: you've been around locker rooms and kind of still smell
21:20
Speaker 1: the grass a little bit, in the dirty uniforms and
21:22
Speaker 1: all that when you walk in, and that's that's the
21:24
Speaker 1: motivation that you have. And I enjoyed that. I've been
21:27
Speaker 1: here a long time close to it, so I may
21:29
Speaker 1: see it too rosy. You tell me, this looks like
21:32
Speaker 1: a great job. There's draft capital, there's a cap space,
21:36
Speaker 1: there's a young quarterback. What did you see that excited
21:39
Speaker 1: you about being the head coach of the Jaguars. A
21:41
Speaker 1: great opportunity to really to really flip this organization and
21:45
Speaker 1: get it, get it back in the direction that it
21:46
Speaker 1: that it's uh. I know that that Sean Kahn wants
21:48
Speaker 1: it to go, and we all wanted to go. And
21:50
Speaker 1: you know, to have have the quarterback in place is
21:52
Speaker 1: obviously a key thing, and it kind of drew me
21:54
Speaker 1: to obviously this this franchise. And then you know, as
21:58
Speaker 1: you mentioned, the draft capital and and resources is just
22:01
Speaker 1: one piece of one piece of the time. You're the
22:03
Speaker 1: first Jaguars head coach who has played the position to quarterback.
22:07
Speaker 1: How does your experience as a player translate to coaching
22:12
Speaker 1: the position. I just feel like I can see it
22:14
Speaker 1: through the quarterback's eyes. You know. I was never the
22:16
Speaker 1: starter a lot, you know, but I had had that
22:18
Speaker 1: career backup, so I was always in a kind of
22:20
Speaker 1: a coaching sort of a mentor, you know, I see
22:23
Speaker 1: the game through the quarterback's eyes, and I think that's
22:25
Speaker 1: important to understand what they're what they're seeing with those
22:28
Speaker 1: guys are seeing out on the football field. And then
22:30
Speaker 1: obviously you haven't been coached by some some great coaches
22:33
Speaker 1: and you know head coaches in my career. It's something
22:35
Speaker 1: now that I can you know, pass on to it
22:38
Speaker 1: to a guy like Trevor and just just create that
22:40
Speaker 1: desire which is already there, but you want to enhance
22:42
Speaker 1: the desire to to be great, and he wants to
22:45
Speaker 1: be He wants to be that way. I want that
22:46
Speaker 1: for him. And again, teams that have this position right
22:50
Speaker 1: are the ones that have had success in this league,
22:52
Speaker 1: and um, you know, Jacksonville has gotten it right. That
22:55
Speaker 1: full interview available on the team website Jaguars dot Com.
