Again, New York Jets running back Breece Hall was off to a good start in week seven versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yet, passing-game coordinator Todd Downing found a way to alienate him from the game sequence, especially in the second half against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7

Hall finished Sunday night’s 37-15 loss with six receptions for 103 yards and 12 carries for 38 rushing yards. His struggles on the ground are indicative, and some of his carries should be delegated to rookie Braelon Allen. Ball distribution continues to be an area lacking in the Jets offense as an inability to sustain drives compels them to be more pass heavy.
Inside a very divided locker room, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is possibly looking for someone to blame and it definitely shouldn’t be Hall after these last two weeks. Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson took some blame for his game-changing drop that led to an interception.
Ultimately, Hall has played better under Downing, but the team’s love for the pass has made his contributions null and void. Until the Jets settle in on an offensive identity they will continue to struggle.
