Actually against overloads no lineman can handle it on their own no matter how good they are. That is why you need to not run empty sets versus blitzing defenses - you need someone back with the QB to chip/block the blitzer. Gio did this heroically yesterday once they started consistently putting him back with Burrow on passing downs.
