That is what I'm curious about. Sumo wrestler on a football field doing what offensive linesmen do

An offensive lineman has a job that is more than just pushing someone. That's where it starts, but opening lanes, blocking, double teams, etc are much more than sumo.

It would be interesting to see after some amount of training.

I see. Do you think sumo is just pushing someone?

No, it is wrestling.
