Nah. It's a bit of semi-technical explanation about why Jack and others are getting blocked out of reacting to the ball. 

They aren't coached to immediately get downhill into their gap, they are being coached to flow to the ball.
Problem is:  Jack, Williams, Goode, and Jacobs don't have those natural instincts to diagnose plays and flow to the ball. Because it's taking them longer to diagnose and they are missing Dareus it's giving pulling or climbing guards time and ease to get to the second level and block them out of running lanes. 

The LBs are struggling in the system and the DTs are allowing O-linemen to reach them before they can rect.

Yep generally they aren't going forward, they are going sideways or backwards. That allows the OL to get to the 2nd level. Generally the LBs are in position or near enough, but they are being blocked by an OL. You can't blame a LB for not getting off a block when you design the defense to be passive. The coaches are setting up the LBs to fail. They have 2 speed LBs and they keep them in the stable because they want them backpedaling.

It goes to playing zone all the time. The defense isn't the attacking defense that it should be, it is passive except on the DL. The issue is the Jags only bring 4 at a time, so if they don't win, the zone is setup to allow mid and underneath plays.
