FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)  Breece Hall and Braelon Allen have already envisioned busting big plays together out of the backfield.They've also created a simple, but catchy nickname.We were joking around Jon Lester Jersey  calling ourselves The Killer Bs' the other day, Hall said Tuesday with a big smile.Opposing defenses won't be laughing if everything goes the way the Jets hope.ADVERTISEMENT  Hall is the Jets' undisputed lead running back who's coming off a terrific second NFL season during which he ran for 994 yards and five touchdowns and led all players at his position with 76 catches for 591 yards and four scores. He also he for sure will run for more than 1,000 yards this season.Allen was of Wisconsin in April. And he doesn't just stand out on the field for wearing a big, white 0 on his jersey. While Hall is a speedy, shifty runner, the 6-foot-1, 235-pound Allen is a thumper who makes his presence known with physical runs.Braelon's just like his own beast, Hall said of his backfield mate, while also comparing him to Derrick Henry. Like, hes really big, hes athletic, he can run.The two could provide quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Jets' offense with a dynamic duo out of the backfield with complementary playmaking skills.When I came in (to Wisconsin) as a freshman, I was a little bigger  around 235 or 238 (pounds), something like that  but I didnt nece sarily see myself as a bruiser, as a powerful, super powerful running back, said Allen, who's the NFL's youngest player  Steve Cishek Jersey at 20 years old.You know, I kind of just was a little more slippery than what people would have expected from me," he added. "As I continue to grow and obviously, now at this level, the expectation from me is to be that bruiser and run with more power and low pads and just impose my will on people.Allen, who ran for 3,494 yards and 35 touchdowns in three seasons with the Badgers, would appear to be the clear front-runner to be the primary backup to Hall  especially with his change-of-pace style.But he's not the only rookie expected to make an immediate impact on the Jets' running game.Isaiah Davis, a fifth-rounder out of South Dakota State, has also been having a productive training camp. He could also push Israel Abanikanda, a fifth-rounder last year, for time as the third running back. New York also has Xazavian Valladay, who was undrafted out of Arizona State last year and spent time with Houston, Pittsburgh and the Jets,  David Bote Jersey on the roster.Its been cool to see how different we all are, Hall said. "But also were all trying to reach the same common goal. So were all challenging each other, pushing each other when were doing our individual periods. We try to challenge each other to see whos going to have the best rep and whos going to do this the fastest, whos going to run the best route, just little stuff  Mike Montgomery Jersey like that. And for them to actually be talking to me a lot and asking me a lot of questions  what I see, what I would do in certain situations  its just been cool.Hall has found it strange, though, that he's the veteran in the running back room, especially after he's retiring. Hall is 23, while Valladay is 25, Davis is 22, Abanikanda is 21 and Allen is 20.Whats crazy is Braelon is a young buck, but Isaiah is like the same age as me and everybody in the running backs room is pretty much like around my age, Hall said. Coach (Tony) Dews is like, Breece, everybody looks up to you. But Im like, Half of them are older than me or my same age, so its like the funniest thing.NOTES: LT Tyron Smith remained out of team drills while dealing with what coach Robert Saleh said is lower-body tightne s. ... S Ashtyn Davis left practice after taking a shot to his ribs. Saleh had no immediate word on his status. ... WR/KR Xavier Gipson returned after mi sing several days with a leg injury. ... Tempers flared during a hot practice, with at least three skirmishes. Saleh  Danny Hultzen Jersey called the team together after the third to remind them to be responsible to one another. Added LB Quincy Williams: "We love that, but we also want to have controlled violence.___AP NFL:
