re: I awoke with even greater despair this morning...

His point is that the OLBs don't have the responsibility on those counters and power plays. DL has to occupy blocks and ILBs make the tackles if everything is going well. On that gif, you have Talia, Kamp, and Buckner on the DL. The first problem is that Talia and Kamp are getting owned (#55 is Talia and Kamp is in the middle getting sandwiched by a single blocker). Two blockers get to the second level on the left side and Mattingly, a bright spot, does his best to fill the gap. The OLBs are Prevot who is rushing the play and really doesn't have responsibility on the play. On that play, Kamp should've occupied the blocker that gets out on Mattingly #46 if things are perfect.

My problem is that the OLB covering the slot is no where to be seen. Our 240+ OLBs shouldn't be getting owned by a receivers. Good OLB play makes that an 8 yard gain and not TD. The OLB has to spill that play back to the middle.

I expected our DL to get single blocked at times and give up some chunk plays. We have stop explosive plays. Good OLB play there stops the explosion play.
