Gang Green Nation on Braelon Allen
From the article
After waiting patiently as Hall's backup for 2+ years, Allen has started the last four games for the Jets. It is the first time in his career Allen has had the opportunity to carry the load over a multi-game stretch. He has not disappointed. Braelon Allen has produced 421 yards from scrimmage over the last four games.
STACKED’s take
Allen's four-game stretch rivals Hall's best; efficiency metrics suggest lead-back potential.
Allen has delivered impressive results in his first extended opportunity as a starter, producing 421 yards from scrimmage over four games with 72 carries for 357 yards at 5.0 yards per carry, averaging 4.2+ yards per carry in each game. After waiting as Hall's backup for 2+ years, Allen has now started the last four games for the Jets. His efficiency metrics are notably strong: in three seasons he has never had a success rate under 50% as a runner, compared to Hall's career-long struggle to exceed 50% success rate in five seasons. The source frames this as a potential changing of the guard, with Allen's consistent performance raising questions about whether he could be the Jets' lead back going forward.
