• 0:23
  Speaker 1: me is I want to represent this organization and this
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: fan base because I know it's important to them as well.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: For them to care that much means a tonu to me.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Join Jaguars dot Com senior writer John Hosier as he
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: sits down with the people who know Tony both professionally
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and personally. Former Jaguars right tackle Leon sc Lean first
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of all creata doing that, and you know it's Uh.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough to cover every game you guys
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: played together, to be there throughout it. And uh, I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: think jack Wars fans automatically associate Big Leon and Big
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Bow on the two sides of the line and people
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: who were there during that era. But I'm curious if
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: if you two, speaking for yourself, I feel the same way.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Is there that connection that fans feel between you guys? Well,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: there was a connection. Uh, Initially there was a competition
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you gotta remember when I came in here, I was
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: one of the top notch free agents that got the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: jaguall signed. And uh, essentially I came here wanting to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: be the man because when I was in Pittsburgh there
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: were my my thunder was stolen from you had the Demandi's,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: John Jackson's Duval loves or whatever. So I was looking
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to come to Jacksonville and kind of uh, you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: entrenched myself and being the man, the offensive line guy
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville. And I got this little you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I got this puppy, uh that just got drafted. We
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: called him the first born. Uh. Tony Boselli just uh
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: putting in working, and I can I can totally admit
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it now as I've gotten old of the first half
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: for the season, he was playing better than me. He
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: was he was right flat out playing better to me.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I was struggling. I wasn't all in mentally for whatever reason.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make it excuses for but I didn't
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: play well the first half the season. And but Sella
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: was was was spot on all his matchups and stuff
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: like that, and I had to I had as a competitor.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And you're watching film you have to say to yourself,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You're look at yourself in the mirror and say, this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: guy's out playing you, bro, you need to do something
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so I can admit to the fact that but Selly's playing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: His being so young and playing so well so early
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on kind of pushed me and we came to competitors. Initially,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Tony and I got into gott into like spouse verbally
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and meetings because I was getting jealous. He was getting
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: all the love and I was I was getting all
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the ridicule or whatever. So we had our little spats.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But initially when either when I got my game going
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and we made that nice little run towards the end,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: or that there was a bond because was there was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: no one believing in us, believing in us when we
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: made that playoff run. And then um, because I have
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: been to the the playoffs four years of Pittsburgh, so I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: knew what it felt like. Never missed the plous in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: my career, so I know what it felt like to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: be in those type of those type of situations and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to see both of us perform well throughout that spat
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: against the Buffaloes, against the Denvers and make it to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the FC championship game. I think that's where the bonding
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: began because we realized we were both young, but we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: realized we were both special and that you know, having
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: us to their solidified the line because we knew if
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: eight was protected, it gave us a chance to win.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: For those uh you know four years did that mentality?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You just talked about the pushing each other and you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: can't speak for Tony, but it seems like that would
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: have pushed you throughout that time as well. Oh yeah, absolutely,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I mean we we we could. We we didn't know
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we were doing it. We competed in the weight room,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we competed in practice, and um we wanted to the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: weight room. Well listen, we we laugh about it. We
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: laugh about it. We talked about this maybe a couple
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago. We Tony and I were two of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the weakest guys on offensive lite. Okay, we had guys
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: throwing up all kinds of weight in the offensive line,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I mean upper body washing. So in order to compensate
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for our lack of strength, we we did extra on
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the field tech, deep wise, fundamental wise, extra in the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: weight room, I mean in the film room, studying, you know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: dissecting our team, I mean dissecting other teams and in
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: tendencies by defensive players and stuff like that. So what
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: we lacked in strength, I think we I think we
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: made up it mentally because we we we did reps
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: upon reps, not only on the football field after practice,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we did in the film room and watching guys and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and breaking down guys and picking up on tendencies, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that's and that's what that's what I think. And both
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of us were athletic. We were a big athletic lineman.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I think that was beneficial to us, especially down the road.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: From watching both of you guys play, you might joke
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that you weren't strong. You weren't strong in the weight room.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: On the field, you guys both played strong, and you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: maybe that translated to mentality or whatever. But do you think,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you know, even though people considered you different and you're
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: different players, you had the punch that was your calling card.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And silly maybe a technician, you know, or you know, yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: he was a mom So both of you guys were.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And that was the approach that both of you took
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: with the offensive line. Even though he was known for
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: pass blocking, you know, he battled you as well. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that was the way. You guys were similar, right, Yeah,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we were. We both we we didn't just want to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: block you. We wanted to punish you. I mean, I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: can only speak for myself, but I know across the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: way the bully, he wasn't fine with just getting you blocked.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: He wanted to punish you. He wanted to barrass you,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: be quite honestly, especially if you start miling off, because
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know what, defensive players have a tendency to run
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: their moles a little bit. They expect offensive allignment to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: be quiet, and we weren't like that. We would talk
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: back and say, okay, you can talk your game, but
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: we're coming back. And it was It was a lot
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of times, a lot of games. If you watch on
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: film that Tony and I tried to we would like
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the bouncer at the club, you know, we would throw
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you out the club and then roll you into the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: sidewalk and then maybe you get hit by a cab.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Well that type of stuff. You know what I'm just
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. We we played with that, We played
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: with that um nasty mentality where we wanted to outphysical you.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And I don't know where it came from. Because neither
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: one of us were that strong up of body wise
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: as far as bench, but as football I always say,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: people can I say, we always tell people weights don't
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: hit back. I said, you can bench as much as
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you want to bench, but weights don't hit back. You know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: So I I did my necessary stuff in the weight room,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: but I I garnered myself and but Suny as well,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: guard on ourselves and being extremely physical. And because we
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: were both that way, from the left side to the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: right side, we expected nothing less from the guys that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: playing tran there and we and we held them accountable
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to that standard that we had. I mean, you had
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: been you had, you achiever, you had Who was the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: other offensive linement that was here wise not well? We
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: held we held the interior of the offensive line to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: be as accountable to the way we played, all the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: style we play. And I think that's the reason why
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: we were able to uh leap frog. Everybody looked at
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that ninety six years like, okay, they will Cinderella. I mean,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: how do they keep this, keep this going? And you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: we wanted to let people know that this wasn't no
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: one here, that we were here to stay. It's probably
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you know, it's uh. I think about this is as
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: preparing for this interview. A lot of great arison those teams,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Fred Brunell, Tony Bracken's, Kevin Hardy. I mean, I mean,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the list goes on, but the era sort of ended
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and began you Gotta here. You guys started playing together
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in you got Her to start two thousand when you
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: guys were on the book ends four straight playoff appearances.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: When you weren't, it was never quite the same. So,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I mean an argument could be made that that tandem
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you guys to find a lot went on there, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I think some of it probably revolves around what you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: were talking about. I don't know that this team nationally
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: was ever perceived as rough and tough, but she played
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: tougher than that perception as a team, And maybe it
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: started with you two guys. Yeah, And I remember what
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: what Tom call wanted wanted. He wanted to do the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: first of all, team Tom wanted the team to be tough,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and he didn't want the team to just be tough
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. He's on the team to be essentially tough
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Monday through Friday. And that that wasn't that was on
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the field. That was on the pra field and Tom
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: would always talk about exactly exactly, so Tom would always
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: talk about the Steelers. The Steelers were the model of toughness,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and Tom conference and I played for him. I knew.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I knew that in order for us to establish ourselves
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: within the division, within the respect is that you had
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to outtough the Steelers and not not at home. You
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: had to go into Pittsburgh and beat him and out tough.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And we didn't do that until what year, not the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: eight I believe I was not. In the first year
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: we swept him. I believe you swept him. I know
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you swept him in Yeah, I know, we swept him.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Think you split, but you beat him at home every
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: year and then it was always a split. Well, well, yeah,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: we had that that. Tom would always talk about the Steelers,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that that was that was the model of toughness where
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: we had to get to and he emulated our practices
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: to be tough and physical and hard and grueling. And
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: that didn't mind that than me and Tony. Yeah, we did.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: We didn't. We didn't worry about the practicing and going
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: after people because we understood to model our game the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: way effectively that we wanted to play. We had to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: implement that toughness and practice. I'm fascinated by the relationship.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But you played the position that you understand what it
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: takes to be great. So specifically to Tony. Uh tell
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: people uh who don't know football as well as you
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: why he's a Hall of famer. Well, well, Tony is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a Hall of famer because his mindset was either I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: be great or nothing. Okay, And Tony Tony not only
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: was great in games, I mean he he demanded the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: kind of respect from you in the locker room, in
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the film room. I always said that it's not always
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: always say this, it's it's it's how you do the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: little things, how you do everything. And what separates the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: good players from the great players is the attention to detail.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And Tony and that's what Tony was about. He was
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: about perfection each and every day, all right. And I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: was a good player, wasn't a great player. And I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: could pay a point to the guys who I played
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: with that were great because they did the extra They
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: did the extra whatever on the film in the meeting rooms,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: in the film rooms. Uh. And he he wanted to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: be great and he was willing to sacrifice whatever he
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: needed to do or be to be great, and and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: he commanded that with the people that was around, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: essentially that rubs off on all whole a lot of people,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you know. So he deserves to be in the Hall
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: of Fame because in his era, during his time where
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: there was some out may have been some of the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: greatest offensive tackles to play the game. You're talking about Ogden,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you're talking about Growth, you're talking about Walter Jones, you're
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: talking about zimmer Member Pace, all those guys. And if
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: if there's one consisus. And then you asked them, hey,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in your era, who who was probably one of the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: better offensive linements that play And it's usually but Celia.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Those two they were the pinnacle of what an offensive
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: linement could be. And they were the type of guys
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: if you watch them, if you earned the pressure on
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: them or sack, you earned it. That's what at the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: end of the year, absolutely earned it. They were giving
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: away sack. They were gonna always be a good position,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: always with their hands, good based, good feet, good shoulders back,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and they were gonna they were going to have a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: lot more wins than losses. So but Celia or the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: two pinnacle guys and I'm not listen. People say, well
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: on your because you play well, you can ask Listen.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: We had we had Willie Roth on the show. Okay,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: we had all types of offensive linement that played in
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that era, and we asked them and we said, hey,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: well who's the who's the best offensive linement that played
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in your era? He said, but souther he was the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: guy they watched. And when you have see that, what
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: what makes this so essential for Baselly is that the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the guys that were great that they're in the Hall
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of Fame watched him play and emily did their game
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: offered him and that's the sign of greatness. That's that's like,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that's like Kobe and Lebron saying, man, I watched Mike mhm,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I was able to uh, I watched Michael Jordan's as
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a basketball player. I mean that's essentially what it is.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: They're saying that you asked these great offensive linement that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: played in the late nine who effectively they steered their
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: game around where they emilated their game from and his
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: name comes up. And the reason it's interesting talking to
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you about this because it feels to me like the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: reason you respected so much is. It wasn't just physical ability,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: it was packaging it to get there too. The work. Yeah,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: because first of all, you got to have a discipline
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: mind to do. You've got to do stuff. You've got
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: to do stuff when nobody else is watching. I mean,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: we all get celebrated on Sunday, but people don't realize that,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: in effect, what we do throughout the week that makes
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: us great. And he was willing to do that. Um,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: each and every day we played four years together. It
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: sounds like the bond you guys have. Yeah, we never
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: goes away, so it doesn't go away. It doesn't go away.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, um, we we we we talked, We laugh
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: about stuff. We was in Vegas together day. We were
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: just we were just laughing about this situation is in
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the locker room. I remember the time we was in
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Buffalo and we had to play Buffalo in the playoff
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: game and we was at this wing place right and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: we're all sitting at an offensive line about the eastern
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: wings and stuff like that, and we was like we're
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: trying to decipher on how we was gonna block Bruce
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Smiff and all this other kind of stuff. And I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: remember I remember Dave why they said, man, let's screw that. Man,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: let's just go punch him in the mouth. Yeah, that's yes,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that's right. We're overthinking this right now, we're really overthinking this,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna get our butts beat and said he said, man,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: screwed that all that. He said, Letten, let's just go
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: out there and punch him in the mouth. And I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: changed our mindset. We went from worrying about how we're
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: gonna stop this, start this to look at the defense
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: we have to do this is that to like, man,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's just go out there and fist
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: fight with him and see who comes out on top. Yeah,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Tony saw him before he because that was great. That
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: had to be said that I was when I had
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to go out and buck Bruce exactly. That's true. That's true,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and that's true. It's a strong he pulled. Yes. Something
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you said to me right when Tony got elected in
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: January or I'm sorry February, was that there really is
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a pride among you guys who played out together with
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: him and yourself of seeing him go in that that
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: mad he does. I remember when he when I initially
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: on social media, when he went in, I said Jacksonville.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: We were in Canadon, I believe, but selling all that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: his teammates that he played with. I mean, although we'll

  Speaker 1: goes off and gets married. You know, you know we're
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: going to celebrate them, you know, because he was one

• 16:36
  Speaker 1: that's a good feeling. It's a great feeling. I mean
• 16:38

• 16:42
  Speaker 1: or when Rob Woodson went in. You know, I played
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: with those guys. I have more of a fun uh,
