They've already started to.

Cook had his lowest snap count of the year Sunday night, Hicks had his highest.

Reid said last week Hicks was going to see the field more going forward. They must really like him. Cook sure as hell isn’t doing jack shit, so I’m fine giving Hicks a shot.

I'm really impressed with how the Chiefs have gone out and at least tried to address their injuries and weaknesses as the season has gone along. I live in DFW and I see that the Cowboys have done exactly jack shit. I love the commitment to winning.

Cook is lost in coverage.

I have just never for one second understood that Cook pick. Dude was never a 2nd round talent.

100% and I remember us both saying it at the time. I can probably cut him some slack and say maybe the injury hasn't helped, but nah, not a 2nd rounder, and not above Raimann

I wanted Travis Jones or Tariq Woolen with that pick. And like everyone else, Pickens over Skyy. Pickens is unquestionably a grade A asshole, but Skyy was obviously a massive bust.

Yep I was a Travis Jones guy too. Cook wasn't even my favourite safety at that point. I liked Kerby Joseph and he's turned into a helluva player it seems.

In fairness to Cook, if the D-line isn't going to generate pressure, you need world beaters playing CB and safety. Last year they had a better secondary and a pass rush. Hence the success defensively.

This team has more money invested in the D-line than in the secondary. The line needs to start playing better.

It's definitely rhe worst part of the defense. The secondary feels like it's an average outside corner away from being able to rejig positions and function OK. DL needs an above average DE and probably another DT.

Hopefully, he’ll bring some experience & situational awareness to the secondary. Whether it’s man coverage or zone, the current roster does not have a ball hawk. The secondary seems to be out of sync and out of position on a lot of those mid to deep receptions. I can’t remember the last time the secondary made an interception vs a good offense. Maybe I’m just getting old.

Hopefully he looks back for the ball.

Emmitt Thomas was a great Chief but it seemed like most of the DBs he coached here didn't look back for the damn ball.

[BWillie]

He's had a good career and last two years. Hope he's been in shape because he's gonna be 32 when we play in the Super Bowl. Anyone know any good 32 year old corners? I don't.
