Jets’ Hail Mary Play Call Leaves Breece Hall ‘Surprised’ – The Latest NFL News

The Jets’ daring Hail Mary attempt, resulting in an interception and a touchdown for the Dolphins, was the pivotal moment in a 34-13 defeat on Friday.

Reportedly, not all players were on board with the risky play call.

Following the game, Jets running back Breece Hall revealed to media that the team was caught off guard by the decision to attempt a Hail Mary with rookie quarterback Tim Boyle from their own 49-yard line.

“We were kinda surprised we were going in for the Hail Mary,” Hall said. “Just whatever play your coaches call might not be the best play at the time but if you can execute it you can execute it and we didn’t execute. I was last line of defense but got blocked. Wish I could have made a move, made a tackle….can’t blame anybody but ourselves.”

Despite their initial hesitation, Hall expressed support for the coaches, acknowledging the frustration of the season overall.

“I liked our coaches trusted us enough to make the Hail Mary but we didn’t execute,” Hall said. “I love our coaches and love the stuff they’re calling. Not just one person not doing their job. I take pride in being one of our a players and try to be perfect, but it’s been hard. Part f me feels like I’m in a box a little bit.”

Teammate, wide receiver Garrett Wilson, shared similar sentiments in his postgame remarks, emphasizing the importance of taking risks in the game.

Wilson and Hall both expressed frustration, with Hall admitting to uncharacteristic mistakes.

“It’s been hard for me to get some open space and get some good looks,” he said. “…I’m making mistakes I’ve never made. Just frustrating. Trying to get better every week, trying to stay positive. Being one of the best players on offense just stepping into leadership role has been hard…just not been able to get the result we want.”
