<\/p>\nOh boy.<\/p>\n
New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was asked to describe the 2023 season for running back Breece Hall.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I was ready for him to be as productive as he was in the pass game,\u201d Hackett admitted to the media on Thursday, January 4. \u201cI think that is something that has added a whole dimension to things that we can do. Lining him up at wide receiver, catching the ball from the backfield, and when he touches the ball I mean he can score at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A media member asked a follow-up question, \u201cWhen did you realize that he was that effective in the pass game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hackett said the one that \u201cjumps out to him big time\u201d was an example from the Week 8 contest against the New York Giants.<\/p>\n
Hackett Gets Roasted on Social Media for His Hall Response<\/strong> \u201cNot to be dramatic but this Breece Hall quote is really unforgivable for me. I don\u2019t know how this is a real quote from Nathaniel Hackett,\u201d O\u2019Leary explained. \u201cDid Nathaniel Hackett spend any time watching the 2022 New York Jets and the first seven games when Breece Hall was healthy? What was the prep for Nathaniel Hackett when he got this job? That is what I want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n While Hall wasn\u2019t on pace for the same amount of volume in 2022 compared to 2023, he showed explosive traits.<\/p>\n The former Iowa State product averaged 11.5 receiving yards per reception through seven games last year. That was the second-highest average of any running back in the NFL last season.<\/p>\n Something that seemed obvious to Jets fans apparently didn\u2019t hit Hackett\u2019s radar until Week 8 of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Giants game was Week 8 of the season. Week 8! You learned that Breece Hall is really good out of the backfield? Are you kidding me? Oh my God. How is this guy employed,\u201d Jets analyst Jake Asman incredulously asked on \u201cThe Jake Asman Show.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t understand what [Aaron] Rodgers loves about the guy. That is ridiculous!\u201d<\/p>\n Will the Return of Rodgers to the Jets Be the Cure-All Elixer?<\/strong> #Jets<\/a> OC Nathaniel Hackett provided an absolutely bizarre answer when asked to describe Breece Hall\u2019s season:<\/p>\n \u2018I don\u2019t think I was ready for him to be as productive as he was in the pass game\u2019 \ud83e\udd28<\/p>\n \u2018That has added added a whole dimension to things that we can do.

\nJets content creator Matt O\u2019Leary unloaded on Hackett after this press conference.<\/p>\n
\nHackett in his debut as the Jets offensive coordinator this season has been awful. Gang Green is dead last in every important offensive category this year.<\/p>\n\n
