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?
There are gaps that are supposed to be filled by the line and there are gaps that are supposed to be filled by the linebackers and secondary. Based on the shell those can actually change play to play as well as with offensive alignment. Just because they run left or right of him does not mean it was his responsibility as strange as that sounds to most.
As I said he is an average to above average DT.
