New Report Suggests Bad News for New York Jets' Breece Hall originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
There's a new sheriff in town for the New York Jets, with first year head coach Aaron Glenn taking over. Glenn formerly served as the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, and it seems as though Glenn is taking some of his Detroit philosophies to New York, which could scream bad news for running back Breece Hall.

Albert Breer has high hopes for the Jets' offense, but, the way he sees it happening may not work out in Hall's best interests.
"The situation there, I think, is better than people realize. The offensive line, behind young tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou, has a shot to be really good." Breer wrote. "The run game, behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, should benefit, and get (Justin) Fields in manageable down-and-distance situations consistently. And he's got built-in chemistry with Garrett Wilson, having played together at Ohio State."
While the inclusion of second-year back Braelon Allen there doesn't initially mark Hall's situation as bad, Breer later doubled down, saying he believes Allen's role will be "pretty significant."
"I mentioned Braelon Allen above." Breer noted. "I think his role in the Jets offense, alongside Hall, could be pretty significant."

The Lions have deployed a committee approach to their backfield for years to the tune of great success, and it seems as though Glenn will be holding on to that philosophy. Glenn previously stated that the Jets may use such an approach with as many as three running backs,
If Breer's report hold trues, the split between Hall and Allen may be much closer to the tune of a 50-50 split than it was last season.
Allen took just 92 carries in his rookie campaign, compared to Hall's 209. Hall averaged more yards per carry (4.2, compared to Allen's 3.6). But, Allen had a much higher rushing success rate, with a 51.1 percent mark to Hall's 46.4 percent.
The shift could be an early indicator that the Jets will be moving on from Hall after this year, entering the final year of his rookie deal. Or, it's designed to keep him and his legs healthy for a long future with the Jets. Hall suffered a torn ACL in his rookie campaign and had a nagging injury on the same knee to end last season.
