I've seen several times where the TE continues to run down field even though there aren't ANY blockers in front of him. I would assume any sensible football player would stay behind looking for a block?

I honestly do not see any issues here. There is no one for him or the HB to block at the LOS so they move down the field to creat a path. Basically like every screen play I've ever seen irl.

I will, however, file this in BZ and allow for more discussion if anyone else disagrees.

Not likely a bug - filed

I agree with VB on this one. Seems like he doesn't see a threat at LoS and heads down field. He does turn to come back 1 or 2 ticks before the tackle.
Verifying as not likely a bug

I'm not saying it is a bug because it is the way the SIM is coded

however,

I don't know where you guys learned to play football or if you ever did, but when I was playing and was lead blocking, if there was nobody down the field to block, I didn't run straight down the field. expecting someone to magically appear in front of me Instead I turned and looked for someone coming from the inside so I could pick up those defenders and try to keep them from getting to the ball carrier.

This +infinity
1) Look to lead block, if nobody is there proceed to 2
2) Turn inside and try to seal the edge

A couple good suggestions, but not a bug.
