Chris Foerster Discusses 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo’s Learning Curve

Last week, Guerendo carried the ball one time, gained no yards and never touched the ball again.

The 49ers need a backup running back.

That’s why they traded up for Isaac Guerendo in Round 4 this year. Just in case someone gets injured. And currently, both Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell are on Injured Reserve, which means Jordan Mason is the only healthy running back the 49ers trust.

have to have that patience and that’s hard to get. But you just have watch it, you have to study it out here in practice, we have to do it. [Running backs coach] Bobby [Turner Jr.] drills it in his drill work, but there’s nothing like those live reps. But Mason was the same way. You can see their helmet stripe. When we watch the all 22, as soon as they get the ball, if they go like this [turns head], not if you’re running an outside zone, they’re looking too soon. You got to press and then that hole will appear. But if you see that helmet stripe, go there, nine times out of 10, they don’t go press where they should. And all of a sudden, we can’t get to that second level of defenders to block again. There’s a lot to it. It’s not as simple as that. If it were, I don’t know what would happen, but it’s not that simple.”
