Number of tackles for DL's aren't that important. Go look at the NFL. What is important is for them to dominate the gaps and push the pocket. Terrance Cody almost always took 2 DL's to block him leaving our LB's open space to nail the RB or go through on a blitz to hit the QB. Jesse is in the same vein.

I knew the stats must suck cuz Bama didn't look the best. I appreciate the explanation as to why Bama is still the best.

Vlachos didn't move Brockers at ALL in two games last year. He got drafted as a RS Soph #15 overall because he DOMINATED all year and held his ground against two blockers, routinely.
You're correct in that their pass-rushing numbers and total tackles aren't important as by design DT's in our defense-and the NG's in yours-are being asked to play gap-control instead of pocket pressure.

Sheldon got those numbers getting double teamed most of the year.
