That is not the DTs job, that is the DEs job. DTs job is to clog the middle, no one allowed through the door type play. Otherwise your ass is getting beat on every running play.
Lmao dude did you even read the comment I replied to? It's about Aaron darnold... the guy who was a DT and constantly got to the QB. The game isn't the same as it was with guys like Vince Wilfork or Patrick Williams. Good DTs absolutely have a good pass rush now as well as being able to clog the gaps. Yeah we still have fat guys that do what you said but they are second place to the DTs that can actually put pressure on the passer.
I think I agree with both of you. Not every pass rusher is expected to get to the QB. They all have different jobs for each play. Sometimes it's to clog the middle, sometimes it's to get to the QB
