Breece Hall didn’t need to improve, but the New York Jets’ play call did

Instead of forcing New York Jets running back Breece Hall to move into the A gap to make plays inside the zone, new offensive play caller Todd Downing used misdirections, throws, sweeps and outside runs to to create lateral advantages for its dynamic halftime. back.

By forcing opposing linebackers to chase Hall laterallyDowning is aware that this increases the likelihood that Hall will make defenders miss. While Hall’s nimble stature and quickness allow him to evade tackles in the open field, he’s like a Candle in the hot sun.

Inside runs should alternatively be taken over by Hall’s reserve, running back Braelon Allen. The Jets fielded about 21 players against the Buffalo Bills, with Allen and Hall on the field at the same time, but limiting Allen to just three carries.

Hall finished Monday night with 18 carries for 113 yards, an average of six yards per carry. However, things will get much more difficult against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in week seven.

While improved performance on the ground can boost morale in the Jets’ locker room, there’s really little room for moral victories when the team is two games under .500 and two games behind the Bills in the AFC East.
