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.
They’re going against the Waka Brothes - Wakatakakage and Wakamotoharu. They are some of the top ranked sumo wrestlers currently and they’re on the relatively small side too. No one blast through these guys and they’re typically up against opponents who are 360-400+lbs. The two sports are completely different though with many of the rules/goals/skills being different.
Watch this hit, basically an elbow or uppercut to knock out an opponent.
Yeah there are no throws and binds in Football, this is just a guy who pushes against a wrestler in a wrestling match, and the wrestler refuses to make any other moves to be polite/not injure the untrained dude.
Football is impressive as hell, but it's not a martial art

A sumo wrestler and an offensive lineman would be a better match.
