Some defensive formations have a play called Double TE or Double TE Bracket, which will add a safety in double coverage on the TE. I'm not sure which formations have it. I think it's on Nickel Normal.

Also, consider using a defensive play call that has man coverage but leaves one of the LBs in a zone over the middle. You should have an LB or Safety manned up on the TE, and you can control the Zone LB to help out with the TE. I know most of the Cover 1 plays are like this. You'll be exposed deep, but generally if you can stop the first level of cheese then the cheesers aren't smart enough to figure out another cheap trick.

Either that or just don't play online.
