Collins: He and Mills both have “room for improvement”

Tuesday, Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins met with the media and spoke about the offense’s struggles and his relationship with QB Davis Mills.

Collins stated the team just needs to keep grinding to get better each week:

“I’d say just continue to build every day, work hard, watch the film, and correct the mistakes we made. Just continue to keep going.”

He knows the offense has to avoid the same situations that have plagued them:

“We just have to stay out of third-and-longs. Keep getting better on early downs. We have to start the games a little faster than we have been. You can’t start the game slow in this league. Just continue to put points on the board.”

As far as how they can get points on the board faster, Collins replied:

“Just continue to keep going, trust the process, trust the game plan and continue to go out on game day. Just ball out and then see what happens.”

Collins explained both he and QB Davis Mills are continuing to grow both individually and together:

“The growth is still growing. Just a lot of room for improvement in both of our games. That’s what we’re going to continue to keep doing. Continue to grow, continue to work on our craft, and continue trying to make plays for the offense.”

Collins also stood up for the way his QB has handled the adversity this season:

“He’s the same guy. He never gets too high, never gets too low. He’s always positive, still positive. I’m pretty sure he knows; we watched the game film, there’s probably things on there he probably missed, but he’s on a mission this week to correct those. We know his mindset is keeping going. He’s never going to get down on himself.”
