If you watch the games, there are often times a running back is forced to run to the outside. This causes them to spend time running laterally which can be risky as they aren't gaining yards when forced to the outside. If they aren't pressured or tackled, then they can make a play but if they are, then a LB can easily get a tackle for loss.

Also with passing plays, QB's are forced to throw the ball away or check down. This has no stats associated with the defensive line, but is definitely a positive impact from the DL.


DL might not have the most glory stats now that OLs are functioning, but it sure is fun to watch your circle break through OL and charge towards the RB/QB regardless of the stat outcome.
