Watch the connection. Watch where your hands and the handle are when your legs are finished. You need to first bring the hands in sooner. Not faster; earlier. You may also need to "slow" the legs down. I don't mean pull lighter, I just mean to take your time with the legs. If they fire down right away, you've got nothing left for the rest of your drive.

Stroke pair: Connection looks ok. Timing is off. You two have been and will continue to row with each other a ton. You need to be hitting the same marks at the same time. Releases need to synch up.

Brian - shoulders. As you come up the slide, you lunge foward with the outside arm. Sit up and keep the shoulders in their sockets. Twist around your rigger rather than continuing to push forward. Keep your outside shoulder up and relax your inside shoulder. You can also bend the inside arm to make sure that you don't use it for power.

Bow pair - this is all new to you. Timing is an issue, but I would assume that it would be. That will come as you get more comfortably with what you are doing. You are both opening your bodies far too early. To get the blade into the water, just take the weight of your arms off of the handle. The body stays forward while this happens. When you begin your drive, the body should still be forward. Only after you have started moving the boat with your legs do you start to open the body.
