I'm hoping that with repetition, the line will block better.

I saw a vlog from Bootleg Football on the Jaguars.  One of their key points is that the Jaguars needed to improve their run offense and defense in 2024.  They mentioned the lack of OL talent, but one of their other key points is that the Jags run game is very limited/predictable.  Essentially that almost all running plays are 'inside zone' runs from very similar formations, and that the coaches weren't very dynamic even if the opposing defense consistently stopped that running play throughout the game.

I didn't bother to watch to clip but your description is way off target. 

Pederson's ZBS was actually a bit too complex for his line to execute and there has been talk of dumbing it down by removing some of the bells and whistles.  He commented on this in a recent presser. 

The run game was a complete failure in 2024 directly due to the horrible execution from the 5 guys up front. 
Not due to a limited playbook or predictability. As the season wore on and it was obvious how badly the line was underperforming - they may have scrapped certain run calls that they lost all confidence in being able to execute, but that's not the same limited dynamic you asserted. 

Predictability is not a problem in Pederson's offense. He runs lots of different plays out of very similar or same looks that bake in a nice element of unpredictability.
