Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?You're not doing anything wrong, it's hard for DT's to get deflections. In my experience, a good all-around build with 30 deflection gets as many as a DT with 100 deflection - it's a case of diminishing returns
DTs get double-teamed more often, that's why Spin Cycle doesn't get them as many sacks as a comparable DE - the coach can up the chances with scheme, such as lining the DT up next to a star DE with a blitz LB on the same side. But it usually is engineered the other way around, the DT is used to soak up the guard so the LB/star DE can get to the QB
