FOXBORO -- The Patriots are gearing up for their upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears in Chicago this week. As they prepare, Offensive Coordinator Alex Van Pelt was asked about areas where rookie quarterback Drake Maye still has room to grow. Van Pelt highlighted Maye's play-action passing, noting, "His play-action pass has to improve. The ball handling there isn't what we'd like it to be."

Meanwhile, CLNS Media's Taylor Kyles weighs in on the growing criticism of Van Pelt from the fan base, especially regarding his handling of the offense and quarterback development. Kyles also examines the potential changes on the offensive line, as adjustments may be necessary to provide better protection and support for Maye in the weeks ahead.
