The dominant OL is reflected in yards before contact. If you have a dominant OL, they will swallow up defenders
and allow you to go free.
Your statement that having a good OL allows you to build up speed and improve your YAC is not shown to be the case by any metric I've ever seen. Most contact happens within the first 3-4 yards of the line of scrimmage so any speed difference is probably negligible.
YAC is always attributed to the ball carrier - not the people blocking for him.

He had 4.7 yards after contact. That has nothing to do with the OL and it translates across competition levels.

This is not the case according to advanced statistics. Yards after contact is largely independent of the OL talent and
