Breece Hall Bluntly Puts Jets on Notice During NFL Playoff Game

[TBJ]

Breece Hall has let the New York Jets know exactly how he feels.

During the NFC Championship game on Sunday, January 28 Hall posted on X previously Twitter, “The way they [the Detroit Lions] using Jahmyr right now is a RB’s dream.”

Before sending that out on social media, Hall reposted a comment from longtime former NFL offensive lineman Damien Woody who said, “How some teams neglect the OL is criminal.”

Hall Hits the Nail on the Head for Jets Key Issues

While Hall didn’t name the Jets directly, it was easy to connect the dots.

Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was heavily criticized this season for his personnel usage and overall effectiveness.

The Jets only scored 15.8 points per game (No. 30 in the NFL) and only produced 268.6 total yards per game (No. 31 in the league) in 2023.

Hackett also provided an odd answer at the end of the season during a January 4 press conference when talking about Hall’s abilities as a pass catcher.

“I don’t think I was ready for him to be as productive as he was in the pass game,” Hackett admitted.

That comment drew the ire of Jets fans who were flummoxed that Hackett didn’t know how adept Hall was as a receiver. Especially considering Hall averaged 11.5 yards per reception which was among the league leaders at running back in 2022.

It’s also hard not to take Hall’s social media interaction as an indirect shot at the Jets offensive line.

“The Jets have had 21 different starting combinations over the last 34 games due to injuries,” Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic said.

From Week 6 through Week 15 Hall only rushed for 250 yards. That resulted in a 2.52 rushing yards per clip on 99 rushing attempts.

That inexplicable lack of production could have been attributed to the Jets’ issues in the trenches.

If the Jets can create stability on the offensive line and maximize Hall’s usage he could reach a new level next season.

Several Ex-Jets Will Be Making an Appearance in the 2024 Super Bowl

The Jets haven’t been to the Super Bowl since the 1968 season. However, several former members of the team will have a chance at immortality on Sunday, February 11.

The most notable of which is former first-rounder Sam Darnold. He is the backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. Barring an injury to Brock Purdy, Darnold won’t see the field.

Mecole Hardman, do you remember that guy? The Jets signed him to a one-year deal for $4 million this past offseason.

He was supposed to be a deep threat and gadget guy for the green and white offense but things didn’t work out that way. Hardman appeared in five games, he didn’t make a start, and finished with one reception for six yards.

Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, the Jets traded Hardman to the Kansas City Chiefs. KC packaged a 2025 sixth-rounder in exchange for a 2025 seventh-rounder and Hardman.

Now Hardman is in the Super Bowl with the Chiefs.

La’Mical Perine entered the league as the No. 120 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft. He didn’t do much with the Jets during his two-and-a-half years with the team. Perine carried the ball 72 times for 263 rushing yards and he finished with two total touchdowns.

However, after getting released by the Jets, Perine found a home on the Chiefs as a backup. He received a Super Bowl ring last season and he has a chance to double his championship hardware in 2024.

Finally, former assistant coach Anthony Lynn spent six seasons with the Jets from 2009 through 2014. Now he serves as the assistant head coach and the running backs coach for the 49ers.

So no matter who walks away with the victory in Super Bowl 58, Chiefs or 49ers, at least two former Jets will earn Super Bowl rings.

I don't really get Breece's point about how Detroit uses Gibbs. If anything, Detroit underutilized him.

This season:

Hall had 223 carries for 994 yards. 

Gibbs had 182 carries for 945 yards.

Hall had 76 receptions on 95 targets (591 yards).

Gibbs had 52 receptions on 71 targets (316 yards).

Agree. 

I get his point to jab at them for Hackett but the Lions use Montgomery more than I ever would if I had Gibbs. Montgomery carried more than Gibbs did in that game

He's eligible for a contract extension after next year. A huge year in 2024 is very important to him. I think we can all agree that breece could be much more than what we've seen and he knows that too. Breece kind of throws me off. He seems like the pretty down to earth, quiet type in interviews and on game days...but on social media, he likes to stir the pot a bit. Regardless, at the end of the day, its all about getting paid for these guys, especially for a RB. He wants this team to do whatever it can do put him in position to have a monster year in 2024.

This seems like a strange post to me. 

First of all, the tweet was about the game and I think it came early when Gibbs was getting all the touches - which I think is what Breece wants. 

Second, it seems strange to complain about the useage of Montgomery.  Montgomery had 95 on 15 compared to Gibbs 12 for 45.  Gibbs is a more dynamic receiver, but he had 3 catches for 11 yards on 6 targets.  Montgomery had 20 yards on 2/2.  Oh and Montgomery did not have the fumble that cost them the game.

Another "article" post from "Boy Green" - this should be a bannable offense

[Jet_Engine1]

One of the very few guys in the "Jets YT Content" sphere that I genuinely dislike. Some are informative, some are funny, some are total homers, and some hate everything... but most are just fans doing what we do here, in a different format..

 

That guy?

 

Just annoying af.

[LionelRichie]

He’s here for 3 more years and then off to the highest bidder.  I hope the jets use him to the max if his ability 

[freestater]

I'd be perfectly fine with Breece being RB/OC

[JetPotato]

Things like this are taking a toll on my eyes. How many eye rolls are you allowed before they fall right out?

[sciond]

Breece said the quiet part out loud....

Yeah, but Breece didn’t get a Single touch in the NFC championship game. Gibbs did. .

He said "the way they are using Gibbs right now." He wasn't making a full season comparison.  Lions under used him early on and really until the midway point.  

[UntouchableCrew]

He's right. I mean, has a single Jets player said a single good thing about Hackett or this offensive scheme? As a fan watching has anything you've seen led you to a different conclusion?

If you follow the players on social media and read between the lines it's very easy to see what they all think of this offensive coaching staff.

Gibbs rushed for 70 less yards with almost 40 less carries. He had 10 TDs on those 40 less carries and that's not even accounting his 300+ yards receiving. 

Gibbs is a far more explosive back and deserves the vast majority of carries. Gibbs deserves more touches, there's no question about it. 

[faba]

Get the ball to one of your most productive players seems logical except to Hackett

[hawk]

The thing that stuck out the most, 30th in points and 31st in yardage.

There were worse offenses?

Seriously?

Even in the game where he was doing considerably worse?  And spit the ball up?

Yes.  We were "historically bad" yet other teams were worse.
