BTW, Searcy was highly underrated. People always talk about how great Boselli was, but when I watched the games, Searcy was nearly as good. The guy was literally the perfect RT as he would dominate just about any player taking them way out of the play.

Imagine this OL with all players in their prime...

LT Tony Boselli

LG Vince Manuwai

C Brandon Linder

RG Andrew Norwell

RT Leon Searcy

I know people hate hearing this. But i think Searcy not only was almost as good as Boselli, He was actually more important to the offenseive line. I know he was the RT, and in a normal offense the LT is the more important position. Why you might say because he portects the QB's Blindside. But the Jags QB was Mark Brunell Left Handed QB. Boselli did not potect his blind side Searcy did. If Boselli got beat Mark saw it and ran why no sacks from Boselli's LT [BLEEP]. But if searcy got beat bam Brunell took a hit and went down. Im not saying Boselli isnt a HOFer or one of the best LT to play the game. Just understand the postion he played to the QB who he protected. He was more dominant in the run game and shut down any pass rusher most the time but he basically was playing a RT while seacy was playing the LT in tearms of protecting the QB blindside.

What I liked both about Boselli and Searcy were that they were bullies against elite pass rushers of their era, like Jason Taylor and Javon Kearse, who were rendered non-factors or even humiliated.
