The Jets did not have many good games to pick one ‘best.’ I mean, the 5-12 end to the season is always a blow. But individually speaking, some players did give their all. Heck, even the most common scapegoat, Aaron Rodgers, had a couple of vintage AR12 games. So, talking about Breece Hall? He came with a full-blown “I-run-this” energy in week 6 against the Bills. He didn’t just show up—he broke loose. 113 rushing yards on just 18 carries (that’s a nasty 6.3 per), added 56 receiving yards, and had the Bills’ defense chasing shadows after a 42-yard explosion on the ground and a 24-yard chunk through the air.

The Jets scraped out a 23-20 win, but make no mistake—this was Breece’s show. It was the kind of game that reminds everyone why he’s built different. And yet, here we are, in early April, with Aaron Glenn walking into the coaches’ meetings and dropping what feels like an offseason bombshell in coach-speak. One that might just shake the Jets’ entire offensive identity.

“There are three running backs on this team that we’re going to utilize as much as possible,” Glenn said, without blinking. Just like that, Hall went from lead horse to potential rotation piece. The new regime is talking committee, throwing names like Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis into the mix like this is 2017 Saints with Kamara and Ingram. But the only difference here is that Hall’s not a rookie. He’s a $9 million decision away from being a long-term investment—or a trade chip.

So yeah, there’s a lot to unpack. But why now though? That’s the part that’s hard to ignore. Hall’s deal is cheap for now—just $3.4 million in 2025—but that price tag’s got an expiration date. He’s due for an extension soon, and if you’re reading between the lines, this committee talk might not be about balance. It might be about leverage.

The thing is, Glenn isn’t exactly pulling this blueprint out of thin air. He just spent time in Detroit watching Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery split the workload like it was a family dinner. It worked. But even there, they didn’t push a three-headed monster. And this trio? Hall, plus second-year backs Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis? That’s not just a shift—it’s a full-on reset.

But it’s not just about easing Hall back from injury anymore. Rather, it’s also about testing how he reacts when the spotlight dims. And let’s be honest—no player wants to lose touches in a contract year. Especially not a running back. Especially not this running back. The open market is brutal for the position, and if Hall’s already watching his carries get chopped while his efficiency stats take a hit (down to 4.2 YPC, with Rush Yards Over Expected nosediving), it’s fair to wonder if this “committee” is just step one in a bigger plan.

Like, say, trade buzz? Because if Hall doesn’t like what he hears, or if the Jets fall for someone like Ashton Jeanty in the draft, don’t be shocked if Breece’s name quietly makes it to the rumor mill. Now, could this just be a motivational ploy? Possibly. Glenn did say, “I think mentally, [Hall] is in a good place… I think every player is going to be happy with the way we go about this offense.” New coach means changes. The Gang Green is changing on both sides of the ball.

Aaron Glenn wants new faces in the O and that’s fair

Aaron Glenn didn’t just walk into Florham Park with a clipboard. He brought a wrecking ball. So, in just one offseason, the Jets have gone from “veteran-heavy and vibes-only” to a squad that looks like it’s been built from a Madden franchise rebuild. The man’s clearly got a blueprint—and let’s just say it involves youth, size, and very little talking. “It’s a young man’s game,” Glenn says. And he means it.

Just one offseason addition is over 30. The rest? Under 30 and hungry. The message is clear: if you’re not young, fast, or physical, you’re probably not in the plan. If you wanna play? Earn it. Glenn isn’t handing out depth chart spots like Halloween candy. “The depth chart is written in pencil,” he said, and yeah, that might sound as if it’s a coachspeak, but only until you realize how real it’s about to get.

Consider this: Glenn’s trench work has been loud without saying much. Just look at the names he’s stacked in the offensive line room. Josh Myers, the former Packers starter with 56 games under his belt. They scooped him for just $2 million. Steal? Feels like it. He’s expected to push Joe Tippmann, not just hold a clipboard. And no, they’re not shuffling the deck—Tippmann stays at center, Alijah Vera-Tucker holds down right guard. But with no clear-cut right tackle yet, the competition is far from settled.

So, he wasn’t just showing the exit to Aaron Rodgers. He did that and then he brought Justin Fields. And now, it’s about giving him a stronger chance to cook with a stronger O-line. So, those of you who thought: ‘Ah, defense would be the focus with Aaron.’ You might wanna re-think about your strategies because AG’s only getting G’ed up.

But that’s how he moves, though. Glenn’s not about the rah-rah or social media subtweets. The guy moves like a stealth bomber. “Move in silence,” he said, almost like a warning. And after years of dysfunction, can you blame him? This franchise has had more leaks than a group text with ex-players. Glenn’s trying to plug those holes with culture—and clearly, that starts by keeping everything in-house and on-point.

Even Dan Campbell—Mr. Bite-Your-Kneecaps himself—called Glenn “an unbelievable leader.” He added, “If he can’t turn this thing around, nobody can.” No pressure, right? But hey, that’s how you flip a franchise: by setting a tone that doesn’t flinch.
