Braelon Allen gives New York Jets something they needed

Braelon Allen‘s second preseason outing as a New York Jet did not match the pizazz of his first. After running for 54 yards on 6 carries in his debut (9.0 YPC), the rookie running back only recorded 27 yards on 8 carries in his encore (3.4 YPC).

Despite the difference in production between his first game and his second, Allen displayed an important trait in both performances: consistency.

While Allen only averaged 3.4 YPC across his 8 carries in Carolina, he still managed to run for at least 3 yards on 7-of-8 carries.
