They aren't usually blocked against a 4-3 or 3-4 is my point.

Against a 4-3, the linemen block the four down linemen in some fashion (although sometimes the off play defensive end is left unblocked), and the middle linebacker.

In a 3-4 it depends who blitzes, but Oregon didn't bring much pressure last night. So in a base 3-4 where 8 players drop into zone, the 3 down linemen are blocked and the two middle linebackers by the OL.

His point seemed to not make sense. Maybe I didn't understand it.

You are making my point. Our OLBs played with terrible leverage the entire game. They either pinched in too far or ran themselves out of the play.
