The San Francisco 49ers are in a lively debate regarding rookie running back Isaac Guerendo's decision during a crucial moment in their recent victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Guerendo executed a significant 76-yard run but chose to go down at the 5-yard line, a move that has sparked discussions among teammates and coaches.
While Guerendo claims he made a strategic choice to avoid a potential tackle, others, including fullback Kyle Juszczyk and head coach Kyle Shanahan, have differing opinions. They acknowledge the impact of Seattle's Devon Witherspoon in the play and appreciate Guerendo's decision-making that ultimately helped secure the win.
With Guerendo's performance leading to 99 yards on 10 carries, he may see more playing time as the 49ers prepare for their next game against the Kansas City Chiefs, especially with starting running back Jordan Mason dealing with an injury.
