It's hard to establish the run when you have a small selection of run plays you can execute effectively. If you come out trying to establish the run every game, the D just keys on those plays and pretty soon you're behind on the scoreboard and your D is gassed. If you can only run a handful of runs effectively, you have to primarily pass and try to catch them with a run here or there to keep them honest.
For another, lots of teams run pass happy offenses and don't have to get their OL in rhythm by establishing the run. Why would ours be different?
