KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2013 Kansas City safety Bryan Cook spoke from the podium at team headquarters prior to Wednesday\u2019s practice. The Chiefs this week will visit the Giants on Sunday Night Football<\/em> (7:20 p.m. CT, NBC\/KSHB-TV, Channel 41, 96.5 The Fan).<\/p>\n

To view his comments, watch below.<\/h3>\n

On what he saw from Giants quarterback Russell Wilson last week:<\/h3>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen him clicking on all cylinders. Just trusting his arm, letting it sling, you know, trusting his guys, getting the ball to his go-to guys as well. I think he\u2019s finding his different type of groove. You know, he\u2019s been in the league for a few years, and I feel like he\u2019s found a great combination as far having the experience, as well as the mentality of just playing football and having fun. So, he definitely has his groove for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On Giants wide receivers Malik Nabers and Wan\u2019Dale Robinson:<\/h3>\n

\u201cExplosive. Anytime, with a quarterback like Russell, they can launch it 70 yards and they can go get it at any point in the game. So, for us, it’s a challenge. I’m excited for it. I’m looking forward to the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

On whether 0-2 eats at him, or he\u2019s focused on the next game:<\/h3>\n

\u201cI mean, yeah, but you know, each week is different. Try to put it behind you. But the biggest thing, you learn from it. You know, what are some positives, what are some negatives? So then, obviously you want to do more positives than bad. And then each week is, it recycles. So, I wake up and watch film. I wake up, do my assignment and things like that, to get back you ready for the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the mindset in the building:<\/h3>\n

\u201cI would say we’re excited. Sometimes in life, you get hit with obstacles, you know, and kind of test you as a person, as a man, as a woman, or people out there. And you can now see what you’re made of. Not saying rebuild yourself, but kind of like, you know, revamp in a way, as far as like, \u2018Okay, like that didn’t work. How can I become better?\u2019 And sometimes it takes you getting punched in the mouth a couple times, but \u2018Okay, cool. Let me do this a little better this time.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On navigating unfamiliar territory, considering all he\u2019s known since being drafted in 2022 are Super Bowls:<\/h3>\n

\u201cLike I said, we\u2019re all excited. We\u2019re all excited for the challenge. You know, haven’t been in this situation before \u2026 but other times I had throughout my life. You\u2019re talking about, \u2018I lost two games in NFL,\u2019 but like, I’m still in NFL, know what I\u2019m saying? It’s still a little different, but we get an opportunity to play against a great quarterback and great receivers. So I’m excited for the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

On improvements he\u2019s seen in the defense from Week 1 to Week 2:<\/h3>\n

\u201cI think, guys are just hungry. Like I said, getting punched in the mouth kind of woke us up a little bit. But it’s just seeing a new identity; every year is a different year. We had different guys, different positions, and the trust factor, like the camaraderie we have this year. I know we had Juan Thornhill was here, (L\u2019Jarius) Sneed was here, Justin Reid, the list goes on. But this year, now I’m the old head in the locker room. That\u2019s kind of crazy. But seeing how the guys gel together, it’s a beautiful feeling, beautiful thing to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On having more responsibility being the old head in the locker room:<\/h3>\n

\u201cYeah, unfortunately, I’m the only one I believe in the DB room that\u2019s married and got kids, so they kind of ask me a lot of other questions. But it’s been fun. You know, they always joke with me about things like that, but it’s nice to have that respect level. And as far as, like, just being there for them. At the end of the day, we\u2019re all going through life, we’re all here for a short amount of time \u2026 But I just want my career to last, so I try to enjoy it as much as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

On how close the defense is to being where it needs to be:<\/h3>\n

\u201cHonestly, it’s scary because we have so far to go, but at the same time, we\u2019re right there, if makes sense. A play here, a play there is dynamic. But the things we showed last week, very excited, very excited. But as far as like, it being Week 3, oh, it’s gonna definitely be some fireworks coming soon, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On building off good communication the secondary had in Week 2:<\/h3>\n

\u201cYeah, absolutely. We\u2019re in Week 3, so you\u2019re still working out some things, but to see us fly around and communicate and, you know, have fun and enjoy each other’s success, is just a beautiful thing to see. And, we\u2019re gonna keep riding this wave out until the end of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

On what he leans on during times of adversity:<\/h3>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a man of God, my faith. I have scriptures tattooed on my hands, as far as reminders. Because, and everybody knows this isn\u2019t about football, but life things happen. I have kids. I have a wife at home and things like that. So, this is only a small part of my life. It\u2019s so major but in our reality, we’ll say, what 10 more years, there\u2019ll be another safety up here talking to you guys. Patrick (Mahomes), he\u2019ll still be here, maybe different guys, you know, coming in front of the camera, and I’ll be on the back end, just watching. But it’s a small time in my life. And I think just having my faith in the Lord and trusting Him where he’s putting me at, and placed me, it’s a beautiful thing to see. How He’s working with me, my journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
