In the first half, Mahomes was doing a pretty poor job of stepping up. That will absolutely hurt a technician like Schwartz more than guys who rely on brute force to keep the pocket clean.
Schwartz will gladly let someone's momentum take 'em out of the play and just give 'em a little shove to help facilitate it, but if Mahomes won't step forward, Schwartz can't do that.
Now the interior line was pretty average as well yesterday so maybe Pat just lacked the confidence, but he clearly wasn't stepping forward in response to pressure from the edges.
