Mike Tomlin

And good supplements to Nico Collins.

Collins is a big-time one-on-one playmaker.

He's oftentimes on the backside of formations.

You get a single high defensive structure.

He's in one-on-ones with corners, and he wins a lot of them.

He makes the big boy catches.

He can run through traffic and run the end breaking routes.

He's good down the field on 50-50 balls.

He certainly has our attention as we prepare.

I think they've also displayed stability and depth at the quarterback position.

Got a lot of respect.

for CJ Stroud and his body of work and what he's been able to do in this league over a short period of time.

But I'm also very respectful of the veteran presence that Davis Mills provides.

I think he went 3-0 this year as a starter.

He threw five touchdowns and one interception over the course of that span.

And I just think that when you're able to absorb

The negativity of playing without your quarterback and maintain your offensive rhythm and take care of the football, I just think that's an asset to a collective.

And to be quite honest with you, I think that three game stretch that he had was really the catalyst for this nine game stretch that they're on.

And when they got CJ back, they just taken off from there.

And so we certainly have some challenges in that phase.
