How Jets ‘bulldozer’ is building chemistry in new dynamic backfield
NY Post
There’s a new Jets duo in town.
Breece Hall and rookie Braelon Allen are now the headliners for the Jets rushing attack — perhaps soon to be known as the B&B boys.
Hall, the third-year back, is known for speed and quickness while Allen, a 20-year-old rookie, is what Robert Saleh calls a “bulldozer.”
Together they scored all three touchdowns — each with one receiving before Allen scored the game-winner on the ground — in the Jets’ 24-17 victory against the Titans that lent signs of what the future could hold.
It had been 30 years since the Jets had two running backs with receiving touchdowns in the same game — since Richie Anderson and Johnny Johnson each caught one from Boomer Esiason in 1994 against the Dolphins.
It has been a significant difference for Hall, who carried the rushing load last season while Dalvin Cook failed to become the expected complement. In each other, Hall and Allen have found a friend and a training partner.
