This offensive line is garbage when facing big huge front 7s that get after you with just punching you in the face.
I was at the game and the Giants are terrible but one of their biggest investments is their D-Line (Snacks, JPP, Vernon, etc). They are stout up front just like the Steelers and this offensive line can't handle guys that just bullrush you all game.
I have never seen a LT in football get that much help on the blindside like Fisher did against the Giants. I couldnt believe how many times Kelce lines up on the LT's side or they BROUGHT AN EXTRA LINEMAN IN and had to declare him as an eligible receiver just to sit him next to Fisher and help Fisher stop Vernon.
The Chiefs basically admitted defeat before the game even started that the 1 on 1 matchup between Fisher and Vernon was something they needed to plan and help him with with Kelce chipping or an extra lineman.
I couldn't believe how many double teams and all the resources that went into stopping Vernon. It made me realize how important having a good premier LT is.
