Out of position penalty

but by all logic, Lewith should have been getting trucked with his low weight and lower strength. 

You're using actual football logic. Not the logic of the sim. Strength is important for linebackers, but it's not like strength vs strength if you can tackle them or not. Doesn't work that way. Doesn't work that way with weight either. The reason Lewith could tackle Jenkins and Verns could tackle Durden is because they were there. You don't have to be better, you only have to be first.
