New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt was asked about coach Jerod Mayo’s post-game comments after the Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

FOXBOROUGH — Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said Thursday his door is “always open” should Robert and Jonathan Kraft want to discuss any of his play-calling decisions this season.

One of the lasting images from the game was the viral video of owner Robert Kraft and team president Jonathan Kraft watching Van Pelt’s offense implode. Jonathan looked especially frustrated at the team, and at one point, it looked like he mouthed, “The play-calling is terrible.”

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt took no offense to Jerod Mayo's critical comments on Sunday, and even shed some light on why Drake Maye isn't running more.

If the team continues to implode down the stretch, it could force drastic changes, including the possibility of a new offensive play-caller. Alex Van Pelt didn’t come out looking good after the Patriots’ ugly 30-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15.

After seeing the Krafts' unhappiness with the Patriots' playcalling in Week 15, you'd think they would have a conversation with Alex Van Pelt.

"I have Jerod’s back at all costs. We have a great relationship." The post Patriots OC Alex Van Pelt downplays Jerod Mayo’s ‘You said it’ comment, willing to speak with Krafts following recent criticism appeared first on Boston.

FOXBORO — Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt addressed the elephant in the room before he could even be directly asked about it. Robert and Jonathan Kraft were shown on Sunday’s CBS broadcast looking frustrated while their team’s offense was on the field.
