    Dear Breece Hall, The Jets rank No. 30 in rush yards per game

    The New York Jets rank No. 30 in rush yards per game this season and only one player has taken the majority of the carries.

    Through 65 carries, Jets running back Breece Hall has produced 197 total rush yards at a rate of three yards per carry. For contrast, his reserve Braelon Allen has a total of 143 yards on just 32 carries.

    It’s very simple mathematics, yet somehow, former coordinator Nathaniel Hackett kept Allen minimalized through the first six weeks of the season.

    Sure, it isn’t all Hall’s fault. Hackett’s clueless play calling had Hall plunging the a-gap, where his undersized frame yielded a disadvantage.

    Hall is best when he is used in the counter game, outside zones, or as a pass catcher out of the backfield and interim coach Todd Downing needs to make the adjustment versus the Buffalo Bills.

    As for Allen, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich is too prudent to ignore the signs anymore. Expect Ulbrich to get both Hall and Allen the touches they need on Monday night.
