You think a backer is going to cover one of them one-on-one because a safety can't cover both.
Teams generally don't play a safety in the box against a one-back set. And even when a safety plays in the box he would still have coverage priority over a LB. So he would pick up coverage on a TE before a LB would.
If you have 2 TE and 2 WR they are going to be covered by 2 safeties and 2 CBs.
You claim that a second DB would double on Green, but that is not man-to-man double coverage. It is deep zone help coverage that only becomes a double team if there are not 3 other receivers running downfield routes.
