I'm not in love with parts of this (not sold on Zardes and I highly doubt Jurgen will start Green), but if Jurgen wants proactive soccer, he needs actually play these guys in positions that favor their skill set and mentality.
Bradley and Bedoya can work well together if they have piece of mind behind them, but also do not have to push up into the opponent's back line. Jozy always drops into the midfield anyway. Green and Zardes have speed to dart through the lines on diagonal runs.
