On outside zone plays most of the backside guys should cut somebody, but the back should never cut back inside the block of the front side guard on an outside zone play. You don't cut block on inside zone plays because the back is supposed to read his keys and find the hole depending how the defense plays it. From what I've heard it sounds like the OL isn't doing a very good job of double teaming the DL to the LB. When this is done correctly either gap the LB picks will result in him being blocked.
An example: On a inside zone play to the right the LG and C are responsible for the NT and MLB they need to get their hips together and drive the NT back into the MLB. If they are saying "Ok the NT is on the C so he'll block him and the LG has to run out and block the MLB," they are going to get beat. The MLB will be able to run though the front side A gap before the LG can get to him and blow up the play. This could very well be what they are doing because I haven't seen much to make me think the blocking schemes are very well thought out.

I think the point of attack is good, they are getting good double teams, they are just not coming off, I don't understand why, and when they try they are too late.
