Any reference to the Jag variables outside of the robotInit() method will refer to the ones that aren't initialized (green), and since they aren't initialized they won't be sending commands to any motor controllers.
Remove the "Jaguar" text thats highlighted red and that should fix your problem.

Yup, he is right, you having that is like pretty much trying to make two jaguars of the same variable name, and in any programming language you can't simply do that.
