Only one other team uses a one-back system? Just off the top of my head I can come up with NYG (Barkley), GB (Jones), ARZ (Drake), OAK (Jacobs), MIN (Cook), NO (Kamara), CIN (Mixon), CAR (McCaffery), CLE (Chubb), TEN (Henry), and you'll probable be able to add DET and MIA to the list assuming those rookies start. Everybody gets their RB2 some touches, but all those teams are led by one back.

You're correct in that an effective run game can impose it's will, but 3/5's of this line has done it before and now (presumably) with more diverse play-calling and the added presumption that McCarthy will likely have teams thinking pass-first, there is every reason to expect Elliott will have nice numbers. But again, whoever ends up lining up a LG and C will likely ultimately decide how effective they can be as an overall running team.
