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?

How is that any different than simply dropping back in shotgun going three and out repeatedly?  

Take the SF game as a prime example of what I am talking about.  They came out and ran a variety of plays from under center, (rather than the "small selection" that you speak of) and it payed off as the OL was able to establish themselves and maintain composure throughout the game.
