Disruption
It's not a "stat" they keep track of. Only the very best of the best are going to rack up any large numbers in the interior.
But that doesn't mean they aren't good and causing disruption. QB having to move off his spot, rolling a little to the right or left. An interior lineman can disrupt a play and not get credit for a pressure.
It doesn't even have to be a pass play. Even if a run play is going right disruption from the left can still mess up the timing and rhythm of a play and result in blocking assignments getting messed up and the play going for less yards. On and on.
I'm not in any way upset or concerned with our D line play. It's much better than past couple seasons.
Well said, disruption is probably the most underrated thing when speaking of D-Lineman cause it doesn't count on the stat sheet.
