Kyle Shanahan needs to let RB out of doghouse to boost 49ers' dismal run game

The San Francisco 49ers have not been good at running the football this season. That is why head coach Kyle Shanahan needs to let running back Isaac Guerendo out of the doghouse to try and boost the rushing attack.

San Francisco ranks 28th in rushing this season, and the offense has precisely zero rushing touchdowns on the season.

That's simply not going to cut it.

However, the 49ers' passing game ranks 13th and the run game ranks 28th. https://t.co/7nHJDHutgx

Star running back Christian McCaffrey has still been effective as a receiver, but he has struggled to get much of anything going on the ground, which raises uncomfortable questions about the offensive line.
