Elliott is correct about how they played the game in TB and what TB was not going to allow them to do, run the ball. They forced Prescott to check out of almost half the run plays called because Arians and Bowles knew the Cowboys had to protect that defense and keep it on the sideline and we saw what happened when they couldn't and the Cowboys dominated TOP in that game. The game has shifted from TOP to POP, Points Off Possessions, and coaches could care less about controlling the clock.
TB is also a smart defense and knew the best run blocker was out and Arians knows the worst thing that can happen to a defense is to have the other team run the ball on you. We know from last season that experience.
I don't know if everyone is aware but Elliott is one smart guy. He could have gone to college on an academic scholarship but chose athletics and OSU but he is not some dumb jock.
A lot of RB's would have been frustrated with his role in TB but he handled it not only well but admirably from a teammate standpoint. He's only speaking out because of the ignorant criticism aimed his way by the worst local collection of sports reporters in the league.
Ya know, some still have it in for him for that hold out and fat contract when you would have done the same thing or should have if you were smart enough.
Stop faulting the players for their pay and put your anger where is belongs, those signing the checks. And any player that doesn't go to the wall up against this team for his money is a fool. They fold too easily and every agent knows that.
