Nah Bob. None of those require a B player to be on his side of the LOS to Start the play.
2.8 defines encroachment (a place where no player can go)
2.24.3 only defines what is a defensive lineman, doesn't require anyone to be one.
7.16 again deals with encroachment. Again does not require that a B player be lined up on his side of the LOS, only that he not encroach the NZ.
