Fisher was between his man and Smith, but Smith had nowhere to escape due to a collapsing pocket right in his face. If Smith could have taken even one step forward, Fisher could have pushed his man behind Smith. It also wasn't like Fisher was beat immediately on that play. Smith had time to get rid of the ball. When KC ran the ball to the left, they were mosty successful, so his run blocking looked good to me.

Looking forward to seeing it again... probably will go look at that 1 play again.. but as I recall it..
Both Fisher and Allen got shoved back quickly into Smith's short drop. But that wasn't really the largest problem.
The largest problem was that on that play design (or maybe a receiver just ran the wrong route?) there were 3 Chiefs all bunched together to the left hashmark.. and (I think) a large LB sitting in a zone right in front of that mess. It looks like shit for the QB.. but when you see that? and have nowhere to run? guess you got to eat the sack. NO excuse for the ball protection though.. that was very un-Smith-like!
Oh, I know I know... EXCUSES! The QB should have magically force pulled the underneath LB down on his face with his left hand and zipped a pass low to one of the 3 receivers! Stupid QB!
