  Speaker 1: Shadrick and today is Friday, April tent and it's time
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: for our weekly listen to some of the highlights from
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the past week on Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars Broadcast shows.

  Speaker 1: Another busy week. Of course, you'll hear from new Jaguars
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: defensive end and outside linebacker Cassius Marsh Trey Herndon gives

  Speaker 1: back to the Jacksonville community, and NFL Network's top draft

  Speaker 1: analyst Daniel Jeremiah explains his latest mock draft, including two

  Speaker 1: offensive players coming to the Jags in the first round.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: But first a final listen to. Last week, Senior correspondent
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexon caught up with the original senior editor for
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Jaguars website, Vic Catchman. He was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: with the team from all the way until eleven and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Catchman still follows the Jaguars closely and he knows this
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: offseason could be the turning point. This is a really
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: big time for or professional football in Jacksonville. They've got
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: this tremendous opportunity to turn that franchise around with all
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: these draft picks and I think they're gonna do it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I I really get the strong sense this is a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: strong draft coming up, and I get the strong sense
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that when when we come out of this whole mess,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I think good times are gonna happen. Catchman still writes
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this question and answer column on asked Vic dot us.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The full interview available on Jaguars dot com. Now to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: this week and an Ashland Sullivan Skype catch up with
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: one of the newest Jaguars defensive and outside linebacker, Cassius Marsh.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: He was a fourth round picked by the Seahawks out
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of U c. L A back in but he's also
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: spent time with the Patriots forty Niners and then last
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: season the Cardinals. Now it's onto the Jaguars, and it's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a decision that brings back memories for his father, Curtis Marsh,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: an original Jaguars draft pick from Castius, explains his family's reaction.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Be excited to here that you're coming to Jacksonville. He was,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he was pretty he was pretty pumped. Man. I know, uh,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, this is where his dream came true in Jacksonville,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you know, being able to be in the league and stuff.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure he was part of the first
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: first team every out there. Yeah, which is which is
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: pretty crazy. Um, but yeah, he's excited. I'm sure he'll
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: come out for a game. And my little brother is
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: actually from out in Jacksonville and grew up out there.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So some some definitely family ties to the to the organization.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: The full conversation available now on the team website. Now
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: on to Jack's Drive time. Tuesday morning, the position group
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: conversations continued. This time Ashlyn Brian and senior writer John
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Osher broke down the running back room. Really, the only
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: notable two right now are Leonard for Nette in right,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Caul Armstead. You have a few other guys that we
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: really haven't heard of much. It's kind of a shifting group.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But as of right now, those are your two guys,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: looking possibly to get another third guy. You go back
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to that three back set that we all with t J. Yeltman,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Corey Grant. We talked about how cool that was that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they had all these options. Right now that group looks
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: totally different from that. Yeah, it really does, and I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: would be surprised considering Jay Gruden's offense needs a change
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: or pace back. They utilize the back out of the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: backfield for Net can do that, but I got the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: idea from talking to Jay at the combine that he
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: would like one more back in that mix. The good
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: news is you can absolutely get a running back in
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the fourth round, third round, fifth round to come in
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and make an impact. And guess what, they have three
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: fourth round picks and the other thing ran You know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: would they be looking this year with the whole fifth
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: year option thing, with for Nette not knowing if he's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: gonna come back next year. The dynamics of that position
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: are different than any other in terms of what you're
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: gonna pay. Would they be looking to try to add
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a guy who can potentially be the guy going forward.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're there yet, but a guy
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: like that might be brought in with the idea that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: maybe if something that happened to four Net where they
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: don't bring him back, maybe he's the guy moving forward.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So I think definitely third to fifth round it. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: think they definitely take one. Well, And my question is, what,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know, how long are they going to stick with
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: this this run oriented offense. What if they dropt a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: quarterback at the top of the first round and they
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden transition and become a modern passing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: attack as opposed to you know what they ran in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: seventeen and what the Titans ran this last year. You
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: know how much how long did those last? Um, I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: don't know if you need to go look for that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: big bull feature back. Uh, if you're going to change
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: things up and become more of a pass first sort
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of team, Now that's not necessarily Doug Marone style, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Doug has been in places New Orleans comes to mind,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: where they were a pass first offense. I don't think.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I don't see this is a need. You've got four
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: net who's coming off of six and seventy four yards
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: seventy six receptions. Helly was healthy all season. He wasn't
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: even on the injury report till the final week, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I I wasn't where that was possible with the guy
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: who runs is aggressively and physically is for net. Um.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: We didn't get enough of a look at at Armstead
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: because for Nett was healthy, and if it wasn't for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Nette's health, then it was the jaguars inability to stay
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: on the field and give Armstead more chances. Um, I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: think you can find a guy that can be your
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: change of pace back. I mean Corey Grant was an
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: undrafted rookie Tavian Banks. There's two guys. Change of pace
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: by guys who's whose careers came to sudden ends. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: mean like jolting slam on the brake ends Banks in
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: ninety eight in Atlanta and Corey Granted in Kansas City.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I really, I think the whole um point of the offense,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the whole direction of the offense, is going to tell
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: us how important the running back is. Jack's Drifetime airs
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Tuesday mornings on the Jaguars social media channels and Jaguars
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: dot Com, and it's available on this podcast channel as well.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: In these uneasy times, it's good to see some Jaguars
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: players trying to give back to the community. This week,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Cornerback Ain't Heard It and his girlfriend donated ten thousand
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: meals to the nonprofit group Feeding Northeast Florida. On a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: media conference call this week, he explained from where this
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: all came. Really, the thought of it all got started when, uh,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: going back to my Vandy days, I studied sociology and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just ever since then, I've kind of grown a passion
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: for you know, poverty areas of people going through poverty,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: low income areas. So actually last year I did an
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: event back in my hometown Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I fed
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: um a couple of hundred people at a soup kitchen.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You know, since then, I've kind of made it a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: statement in my mind to try to do something like
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that every year where I can try to help out,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you know, a community that is going through those kind
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of things, and with this virus going on right now,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you know, trying knowing that I am a part of
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: another community now Northeast Florida, I felt helping them in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: any kind of way, those who may have not be
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: as fortunate to use money for meals having to use it,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you know, for hands in its size, and all different
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: kind of supplies toilet paper. You know, I felt it
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: was a great opportunity for me to help out another
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: community I'm a part of. Hern Didn't jumped in and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: played a big role on defense last year and is
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: expected to again in and now he's playing a big
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: role in our community. Great work coming up. CBS Sports
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Senior writer Pete Prisco provides a solution to the unique
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and Ghakway situation, and NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah explains
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: his latest my draft. That's after these words from Jaguars
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: great Tony Boselli. Hi'm Tony Ball and I want to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: talk to you about this coronavirus. It's real and it's serious.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You've probably read or heard by now that I got
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the coronavirus. Thanks to the amazing healthcare workers at the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Mayo Clinic, I'm doing much better now. I'm recovering, getting better. Today.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about how you can protect yourself,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: your family, and your community, and that's by wearing a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: mask when you go out in public. Here in Jackson,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: were anywhere. Put a mask off. It'll protect you, It'll
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: protect your family and all those that you come in
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: contact with. You know, it's probably no different than the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: mask I wore when I played football. I wore that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: mask to protect myself, and now I'm asking you to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: wear a mask when you go out in public. If
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we wash our hands, if we do the social distancing,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and we wear a mask, we'll get through this faster,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: safely and together. Wear a mask. Thank you. We're back
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: on the Jags broadcast week in review, and speaking of masks,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars have purchased and are distributing forty five thousand
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Jaguars logo masks for those on the front lines battling coronavirus.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You'll start seeing those around the community in the coming weeks.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Now back to football or the business around it, at
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: least earlier this week, we caught up with our good
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: friend and the co host of Jaguars Happy Hour on
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Mondays during the regular season, Pete Prisco, the senior writer
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: for CBS Sports. He's never shy about his opinions. Just
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: give him a follow on Twitter and you'll find that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: out in a hurry. I asked him this week about
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the unique and Gackway situation and what the next steps
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: might be for both the Jaguars and for Intway. The
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Jaguars have control obviously right now, what is the end result?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: What do the Jaguars have to have to get rid
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of in Gockway? Well, I think they have to have
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: either a high one and something else or um, they're
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: not gonna trade them. And by that I mean the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: high one or maybe two mid ones. They're not gonna
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: get two mid ones for him, Nobody's no. And that's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: they protected themselves by putting that tag on them. They
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: could get two ones if somebody wanted them. But they're
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: not gonna do that, So they're not gonna get two ones.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So maybe a high one and a three, or a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: high one in a four might get that done. A
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: middle one and it too might get that done, because
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: it's a bad look for the organization JP to go
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: trading disgruntled players. When they went out and Jalen Ramsey
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: wanted out, they traded them because they got wild by
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: an offer. Now, if somebody comes with that kind of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: offer and cockways out the door, I mean, I don't
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: think you say a question about that. I don't see
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that happening. Do you do you see that kind of
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: offer for him? I don't know. Probably not. He thinks
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of himself to Pete is a top three defensive entree
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that he's a good football player. I'm not gonna knock
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: him for being a good football player. And he plays
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: hard and he works hard, and he's one of those guys.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: He's a good guy to have around. But the market
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: isn't good right now for the pass rushers. You saw
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Dante Fowler who had eleven and a half sacks, he
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: got fifteen million. Wasn't it a sixteen million Damian Clowney,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: who doesn't get a lot of sacks, but he's a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: good football player, had his price come way down he
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: started at twenty two. These guys were all shooting to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: go above DeMarcus Lawrence and and above who's Frank Clark. Well,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: they're not getting above that. So now his eighteen and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a half billion dollars that he turned down last year
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: from the Jaguars now looks like that would be a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: heck of a deal. Now, the question would be, now,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: would he take that from the Jaguar if they gave
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: him a four year deal averaging or five year deal
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: averaging eighteen eighteen and a half million dollars year with
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a guy who's made about four million dollars in his
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: career so far, to take that money? And I think
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: no matter what he talks about, the culture and the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: answer to that question should and would be yes, you
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: think he would? You think he would back off of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: all those statements. What are his options right now? Let's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: just play it out. He doesn't take that deal, they
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: haven't want to tag, they don't make a trade. Is
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: he gonna leave eighteen million on the table after make
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it four? Of course not. He's gonna go play if
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he has a giant ear, what are they gonna do again.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna let him walk, They'll tag him again.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So in that scenario he gets two tags, fine, he
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: might make make thirty six million dollars. He's okay with that,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: then fine, but there's no guarantee that that's going to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: be the case. What if he goes out, they tag
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: him and he doesn't play well? Then what so I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: think if you if he's wise and he listens to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: his agent, and I mean his agent listens to the market,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: he takes the eighteen and a half, we find the years.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: If you get eighteen and a half, look at that money.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: The full Prisco visit available on the team website, or
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the archive of Jaguars Happy Hour on Jaguars dot com,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: or this podcast channel. And finally, we're inside two weeks
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: from the start of the NFL Draft and this thing
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: is going virtual for the first time. All team personnel
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: around the league must be in their own homes. That
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: means no huddling at one location. Considering the differing governmental
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: restrictions in the NFL cities around the country. NFL Networks
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: top draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah joined me over a Skype
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: call and explained who might have an advantage logistics technology
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: of this thing. How's it gonna work, Daniel, Well, I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: think you're gonna have, you know, a group of about
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: ten people probably per organization, really connected and plugged in
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: together via Zoom or whatever video conferencing program that they
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: want to use. Um. But I actually think it's got
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a chance to go off smoothly. And the way that
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: will happen is it's going to be the teams that
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I used that phrase right year twice cut once. It's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the teams that are ultra prepared coming into the event.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: If you were on the clock, and that's in the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: first round. If you're on the clock and you are
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: making the first trade phone call that you've made at
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that point in time, you're not doing it right. Um,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: this has got to be something that's gonna be mapped
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: out ahead of time. You need to be calling every
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: other team in the league and trying to work out
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: parameters for trades before the thing even starts. Hey, if
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: if you wanted to move and we wanted to move up,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: let's discuss what it would take. Looking at our picks,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: looking at your let's put together what it could look like. Now.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: The odds that it's gonna happen that we both want
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to move is probably not great. But we'll have that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: all ironed out before the draft even starts. To place
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that phone call when you're on the clock and try
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and negotiate this and work this out with all the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: moving parts this year, I think that'll be what's difficult. We,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of course, also discussed prospects and his latest first round
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: lock draft on NFL dot Com, a little different field
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: than the ones we've seen before, no more defensive lineman,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and his latest for the Jaguars, McKay Beckton with the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: ninth pick, the tackle from Louisville, the big fella, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: then Justin Jefferson, the l s U wide receiver at
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: number twenty overall, both offensive picks. For you, that seemed
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Yeah, Look, the holes are there on defense,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and we all know where they are with who's left
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the building over the last twelve months. But I also
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: think it's fascinating to see what they do. Knowing Gardner
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Menshew showed a lot of promise last year. So if
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you can use this year you're considering next year, you
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: have more picks. If you wanted to do the quarterback
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: thing a year from now, um, it might be some
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: some intriguing options there, But I think this year is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: about getting a good evaluation on Gardner Minshew. Can he
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: build off of what he did last year which was
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: impressive and show he can be the guy going forward,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: which will really free this franchise up to be able
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to spend money in free agency at other positions. Fix
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the defense, use your resources next year in the draft
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to really really uh take care of that side of
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the ball. But man, if you could, if you told
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: upgrade the offensive line a little bit, which I think
