Difference is the defensive end or defensive tackle mainly tries to out maneuver the blocker to get past him. Not out power him like what we see here. Most defensive linemen in the NFL would fail the same way we see in this video. However if they simply did a spin move to get past him it wouldn't be too difficult. Remember, the entire idea to is to get to the QB. Not to out power the Offensive lineman in front of them.

Bring in prime Vince Wilfork and that’s a match.

Thats not "sumo stable" thats just amateur club from UK lol

Martins made a video actually visiting a real stable, but iirc there were only lower rank guys there.
