Slowik’s Solution: Nico Collins Return Injects…
Houston’s Offensive Coordinator Bobby Slowik spoke to the media this week on the possibility of Nico Collins’ return.
On what it will be like to get WR Nico Collins back this week
Bobby: I know he’s been grinding. I don’t know if there’s been someone that works their tail off quietly as much as Nico Collins does. Just endlessly behind the scenes, putting in the hours, putting in the work, I know he really wanted to go last week. He gave it all he had. Couldn’t quite make it. And I know he’s doing the same this week. And if he’s there, we’ll be as excited as you could be.
Bobby: He’s a really good player. He changes how defenses have to look at what they want to do coverage, scheme-wise and how they want to handle him with a person, with a certain wrinkle in coverage. How they want to handle the box. I mean, he changes a lot of things. Any time you have a really good player, guys have got to account for that. But then additionally, I think, it more so just helps us. It’s just another guy that has the quarterback’s trust, an immense amount of trust, an immense amount of reps, and a rapport with each other. And in the run game, it’s really the same the amount of time and work and physicality he’s put into the run game, obviously plays a huge factor as well. So, any time you get a player like that back, you’re always excited.
