Though every game plays out differently, for RB Breece Hall, the objective is always the same: make the most of your opportunities.
“Sometimes, you’re able to call all the plays, get all the plays off the play sheet. Sometimes, you’re not,” Hall said. “So, for me, it’s just about doing my job and being effective the times I do get the ball.”
Hall has been the workhorse of a unit that ranks fifth in the NFL in rushing yards per game (141.6). Individually, he is averaging the most rushing yards per game of his career (72.2) and is on pace to surpass 1,000 yards on the ground for the first time in his NFL career. His 722 rushing yards rank 12th in the league this season, while his 948 scrimmage yards are the ninth most in the league.
“I’m running the ball very efficiently,” Hall said. “I’m up there in explosive runs, explosive plays, yards per carry after contact, yards before contact. The O-line’s been blocking very well. So, it’s been good to see how efficient we’ve been running the ball, how effective it’s been.”
Hall praised the efforts of the Jets’ two new O-line members, Armand Membou and Josh Myers, as well as the communication and teamwork of the entire unit. While that unit has been the definition of consistency this season — the same five players have started every game — HC Aaron Glenn confirmed Wednesday that there will be a change under center. Tyrod Taylor will make his second start for the Green & White in Week 12, facing the team that drafted him in Baltimore.
