What is Billings Looking For?

The issue really is everyone has a run fit in the running game and Billings can do his job which leave the lanes to either side of him open and the LB's or Safeties don't fill allowing a big run. While people may want him to make a great play and play beyond his gap, which he flashes occasionally, he plays his job well most the time. Everyone has bad plays but his really aren't as common as this thread would have people believe. 

Are you not going to share the value they assigned to him?  What is his rank among all qualifying defensive tackles?  

You're trying to tell us that he's not bad.  The OP made note of how often he's seen face flat on the ground, which I have noticed quite often myself.  You claim that he's doing his job, and teams are just running through the lanes on either side of him.  I'm going to assert that he's not doing his job, because if they are running just to the left or right of his massive body, he should be coming off that block and making plays.  Furthermore, a good NFL NT should command the attention of two blockers, leaving the MLB clean to fill the hole.  Obviously, those things aren't happening on any sort of regular basis.

So, is your stat service giving you bad info, or do you just want to believe in Billings to the point that you won't acknowledge his deficiencies?
