Breece Hall & Jets’ rookie Braelon Allen are a dynamic duo

New York Jets running back Breece Hall has greatly benefited from the emergence of rookie Braelon Allen. Hall’s quickness and versatility, is now being preserved, allowing him fresher legs and an opportunity to exhaust opponents later in games.

Jets’ fans recoiled at the proposed idea of Hall sharing reps in week 1, but now understand how dynamic the team’s rushing attack is. Jets’ rookie Isaiah Davis even saw snaps versus the Patriots but it is Hall and Allen who are priority.

Hall is still only averaging around 3.7 yards per carry and that’s why Allen’s physicality works better on earlier downs. Allen contrarily is averaging 5.1 yards per carry, which implies that their tandem is interchangeable.

Whether rushing or receiving, Hall has now scored a touchdown in all three Jets’ games. The sky is really the limit for the Jets who finished off the Patriots decisively in week 3. They’ll now have a 10 day rest before facing the Denver Broncos on Sept. 29.
