From the episode

Michael Penix hates the middle of the field... like I think his first throw in that Packers game was like a dig that got intercepted. And he hadn't thrown back in there since. Like it's just all sevens and fives, just outbreak and stuff and comebacks and quick.

Penix avoids middle-of-field throws; Ravens can exploit this weakness.

Penix hates throwing into the middle of the field; his recent throws have been all sevens and fives (deep routes), outbreakers, comebacks, and quick routes. He avoids dig routes and inside throws, which the Ravens defense can exploit by forcing him to throw into the middle where their best players operate.
