And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

What's up everybody? DJ Bucky here and Bucky. Man, I'm fired up about this episode. I know you having played the position.

This one's near and dear to your heart. Talking wide outs today.

Oh, man. I love the, you call them wire receivers. I call them the playmakers, the pass catchers. These are the guys that we're beginning to see now make the offense go.

You can make the argument outside of the quarterback. The wire receivers have started to become the second most important position on the field because these are the guys that are able to make the big plays in the passing game and everyone in a national football league is living and dying with the passing game.

No doubt in here's who you have to look forward to the conversations in this episode. Thomas to meet off General manager, the Atlanta Falcons, one of the best wide receiver rooms in the NFL, including arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL.

And Julio Jones, we're going to get his insight on scouting the position Brian Billick. Everybody knows coach Billick from hoisting the trophy as a Super Bowl winning head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, but go back before that when he was with the Minnesota Vikings and that receiving core.

He had a chance to coach as that offensive coordinator, Randy Moss, Jake Reed, Chris Carter, what a person to talk to in regards to the position and how about somebody that's played the position for 15 years in the national football league.

Brandon Stokeley is going to offer unique insight. Bucky is one of the better route runners during his career, a couple of stints there with Pete Manning, some fascinating stories from from Mr. Stokeley. I know the folks are going to enjoy the other folks will enjoy all of these interviews.

Thomas to meet you off. Obviously you talking about having Julio Jones, Brian Billick being the director of that explosive offense with a Minnesota Vikings and then Brandon Stokeley, who found a way to survive in this league for 15 years.

You just don't play the position that long in the national football league without being talented in skill in several areas.

Throwing left side wants the Andre Hopkins and milk with a TD catch. Oh my goodness.

Breeze drops back throws down the slot. Mike Thomas is trying. He's to the 30. He's to the 20 to the 10 touchdown. Mike Thomas 72 yards in the Saints strike a hole in the hearts of the Rams and the four takes the snap.

He's back to throw. He loves one left for back. Again, who's got to touchdown Giants. Here's Julio Jones is open down the far side line and will score. Oh my heavens.

Alright, let's get to our evaluation before we get to those conversations. What we're looking for when we're scouting the position, but I'll give you the floor.

The first thing I look for, you know, is a mix of explosiveness and separation. Meaning I want to be able to see a guy that at the top of his break, he is able to create separation from the defense of back.

Everyone worries about the 40 time and how fast these guys go on a straight line, but really the guys have superb stop start quickness are the ones that are able to separate.

And if you can create a yard, two yards of separation in the national football league, you're wide open by any measure. You have to have guys that can create that space to be able to be successful as number one receivers.

I love that. And to me, I write down quickness and separation. So those are the two words I use when you're looking at those things. We've talked about it before. Don't get carried away with the 40 time. Obviously you want guys to be explosive. You know, I, you know, look at a guy like Tyree kill that helps.

But if you have to choose and it's between speed and skill, I'll give a little bit on the speed in order to get the skill because we've seen it, Buck.

You look in the national football league right now. We talked about this and the run up to the combine looking at the guys that caught over 100 balls last year.

And you see guys like Michael Thomas Deandre Hopkins, Devonte Adams, Judeo Smith, Schuster, Antonio Brown, Keenan Allen. What do those guys have in common? None of them cracked below 4.5 on 40.
