As I suspected based on the talent on defense it would be an issue for the defense to catch up. Some teams transition quickly to a one gap 34 while other teams take time.
Keep in mind that a one gap 34 is not really any different than a 43 one gap in the grand scheme of things. The Patriots, Ravens, etc really go back and forth on it. And so have the Seahawks over the years.
So right now there is no excuse for the DL to be playing so poorly in a 34 one gap because it is basically the same principals as a 43 one gap. And the ILB responsibilities do not change that much from a 34 one gap versus a 43 one gap.
The only difference is the OLB in a 34 may be asked to drop into short coverage but that is pretty much it.
