Generally, your TEs are much better blockers, but can still slide out in a pattern. If 11 personnel was running the ball effectively, fine, but it isn't.
Listen to the "Hear that podcast growlin'" podcast (of follow Paul Dehner, Jr on twitter) and look at the horrible inefficiencies of the Bengals running the ball in to "go ahead and run it" defenses where everyone is off the LOS. Through two weeks, dead last in the NFL.
