You make adjustments. For example GB and Seattle both use 3 wide receivers a RB and FB in I or Offset I and no TE in their run game. That's an adjustment.
Putting players in position where they are overmatched is how you end up with holding penalties from the TE spots and some failed runs due to their failed blocks.
The TE blocking is an issue they have to figure out becuase the next the Ram's actually have a good run defense unlike the Miami's whose run defense is only average.

The only plays where a TE isn't blocking is a pass play where they are running a route.
If Gruden stopped calling runs with our TEs in the game you guys would bash him for being too predictable and being a dumb ass.
