Could Jerod Mayo consider changing his offensive play caller?

If the Patriots are mulling a possible quarterback change from Jacoby Brissett to rookie Drake Maye, could they also consider a change in play-caller for the offense?

Since Jerod Mayo didn’t rule out the possibility of moving on from Brissett like he usually does Monday morning, he was also asked during his press briefing if he would consider changing his signal caller during the season.

Alex Van Pelt, the team’s offensive coordinator, currently runs the plays. And he has recently been criticized.

With the team having the lowest-ranked offense and struggling to score points (12.4 points per game), could Mayo consider removing Van Pelt’s duties?

“It’s not under consideration,” Mayo responded.

From what I hear, everything else is.

“We’re in a solutions-oriented business and we’re not playing good football,” Mayo said, “so we’re looking at every unit and every player and figuring out how we use this roster to go out and win games.”

The Patriots have lost four straight and are averaging a paltry 4.3 yards per offensive play. Van Pelt, who doesn’t have extensive experience as a play caller and is more known for his work with quarterbacks and coordinating the offense, admitted to some mistakes along the way.

Most notably, he launched a passing attack from the start in Week 3 against the Jets, who had struggled to stop the run. He admitted to overthinking this situation.

Against Miami in Sunday’s 15-10 loss, with the ball at the 12-yard line, with over a minute left and three timeouts in the pocket, he completed 4 consecutive passing plays. His ground game had been effective throughout the match, but he decided to throw the ball.

The only other member of the coaching staff with play-calling experience is senior offensive assistant Ben McAdoo.
