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.

Fisher was my main priority this evening. I watched the 1 offense's plays mostly to see how he handled himself on the left side.
He was still having trouble with bull rushes - got pushed back consistently by JAG Robert Geathers. That's what stood out to me. It wasn't just about the sack/strip (which is on Alex just as much as the offensive line. He had a LOT of time in the pocket). That's what was concerning. If he's getting run over by a guy like Geathers, he's going to have a long season on the left side.
