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.
