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.

Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said he hasn’t met with the Krafts since they were shown on TV seemingly criticizing his play-calling but “my door is always open.”

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.”

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

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt admitted he is lessening designed quarterback run plays for Drake Maye because of the team’s 3-11 record. When speaking with media members, via Patriots.com’s Evan Lazar, Van Pelt claimed his goal is to get Maye through the final three games of the season healthy.

After the New England Patriots' 30-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo gave a confusing answer regarding the team's decision to have rookie quarterback Drake Maye run the ball.

"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.

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.
