SANTA CLARA – On a phone call last Tuesday to fullback Kyle Juszczyk, 49ers run game coordinator Mike McDaniel told him the misdirection run play “14 Suzie” would be part of the team’s game plan against the Cleveland Browns.
McDaniel also made a promise.
“We went over it, and he said it was going to be an absolute gash,” Juszczyk said after the 49ers' 31-3 victory over the Browns.
Coach Kyle Shanahan on Sunday night shared with the offense that he planned to open the game with the run play to Matt Breida.
“You’re always hoping when you get the right (defensive) call, it will be about 20 yards, but Breida did the rest and made a house call,” Shanahan said on the 49ers Insider Podcast.
