They more than likely have an effective counter punch to man-2.  Most typically, that's short completions under coverage, a viable receiving threat out of the backfield, and/or a tight end to stress the seam.  Or defenses are worried about the running game (Chargers w/ Gordon) and bring down a safety into the box, leaving you with cover-1 or cover-3 as the easy coverages by default.  And then you follow that up with play action.You run those other concepts to force the defense out of man-2.  When they get out of cover-2/man-2, you take your shots downfield.You don't need a great TE, not even necessarily a good one.  Just good enough that most linebackers will lose in coverage.  Even then, you can probably get creative to get the occasional good coverage linebacker lined up on that receiving back via motions or other tricks.</blockquote>
