From the episode

he couldn't drive the ball to the outside. And sure enough, when I'm watching these games, nothing can get pushed to the outside or down the field. If he has to hitch up, the play just comes short.

Nix can't push ball downfield; tight offense limits explosive plays and run game.

Bo Nix struggles to push the football down the field or to the outside, creating a tight, constrained Broncos offense. Harmon notes this is consistent with Nix's process and playing style—he's the same age as Trevor Lawrence and Brock Purdy but operates with less vertical aggression. The lack of a downfield passing threat creates a trickle-down effect where defenders don't have to respect deep coverage, allowing them to play closer to the line of scrimmage as the game progresses.
