I don't know. Both of the other guys were running at angles towards him and it didn't look like they were going to move out of the way. That could have been a nasty collision.
There didn't seem to be a lot of communication there. Both Guzman and Desmond reached for it a little hesitantly. I would imagine that would an easier for Desmond running to his glove side than Guzman reaching over in a backhand grab with bodies around him.
