He's simply not playing well.
And you're simultaneously heaping a disproportionate amount of blame on those 2 without acknowledging the role Schwartz has played as well as the rough game both Fisher AND Osemele (not to mention Mahomes) had in the only truly bad game the OL played this year against SD.
These two guys aren't great players - they aren't gonna give you a lot of great football. But they're good pass blockers who will give you credible performance. Such is the nature of a cap league - gotta rob peter to pay Paul if you're gonna maintain 7 guys on your roster who are at/near the top of their respective position groups.
Would I like them to be better? Sure - and keep an eye on weeks 8-10 to see if Rankin gets back and makes a difference. But they're viable NFL players who by and large perform admirably.

Fair enough, but Schwartz is an All-Pro who was elite last season, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
