Sometimes on outside zone runs a DT can disrupt more than one lineman, but otherwise it is impossible to tie up blockers unless they are trying to block him in the first place.

And if Geno fails at keeping the LBs clean then what DT is better?
Okay let's slow this down.
That's exactly what keeping the LB's clean is. Holding the ground on the double team so the 2nd OL cannot free release to the LB.
Teams will not double team Geno when he is on the backside of a run.
Again, you are showing a lack of knowledge here. Geno's skill set is not conducive to taking on double teams. He's a 3T. That's not his job. It's not his skill set.
You shouldn't rely on your 3T to do the work of your NT. It's counter-intuitive and hurts the defense.
Some how you have tried to turn this into something about Geno when it's about the other DTs on the roster.
