Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman criticized Mac Jones for failing to tackle Raiders defender Chandler Jones in a game-deciding last week. Edelman blamed the quarterback’s lack of preparation and poor attitude for the Patriots’ shocking 30-24 defeat.

“He doesn’t practice all the antics after plays and waving off coaches and all these little pissy faces and stuff,” Edelman said on Inside the NFL. “He doesn’t practice that and he does it. Why can’t he make the tackle?”

Edelman is not the first to criticize Jones for poor play this season, as the quarterback has had no trouble voicing his frustrations all season, earning mixed reactions from numerous experts and analysts. He has already been benched at numerous points on a Patriots team in contention for a playoff spot despite troubles under center.

Former Patriots lineman Vince Wilfork also criticized Jones in a televised segment. Wilfork’s comments were more general, suggesting that the quarterback was not taking accountability for the offense’s struggles.

“I’m tired of that, honestly. I’m tired of it,” Wilfork said on “The Gameplan,” a local NBC Sports program. “You’re the leader of this team. You’re a quarterback. So you can’t be frustrated every single week, every single play. I don’t care if you’re getting the play called in late or whatever it may be. At the end of the day, you have to show some poise because you operate the ship. You’re the head of the ship when you’re out there. … Control what you can control. That’s all you can do. But I’m tired of seeing him throwing a fit.”

Vince Wilfork announced on Monday he is retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons, and the 35-year-old nose tackle chose quite a quirky way to reveal the news: with a Kingsford Charcoal commercial he posted on his Twitter page.

“Well y’all — its’ been a great run, but the time has come. @Kingsford #Sponsored,” Wilfork captioned the video.

In the video, Wilfork announces that the New England Patriots — for whom he played his first 11 seasons (2004-2014) — will hold a “farewell tailgate” for him at Gillette Stadium on Sept. 7 before their regular season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs.

“No more cleats,” Wilfork says in the ad. “I’m moving on to smoke meats, fellas. Peace out!”

Patriots coach Bill Belichick praised Wilfork before the start of Tuesday’s practice.

“Vince is a great player, had a great athletic career,” said Belichick. “Great player here. Did a lot for our football team in a lot of different way on and off the field. He’s a special, special, special player.”

The 6-foot-2, 325-pound tackle — who has played the past two seasons with the Houston Texans — began mulling retirement after the Texans missed the playoffs last season.

Wilfork, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, was also named First-Team All-Pro in 2012 and helped lead the Patriots to two Super Bowl titles in his first and last seasons (2004 and 2014).

The former first-round draft pick out of Miami recorded 559 tackles, 16 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 24 pass breakups and 3 interceptions in 189 regular-season games.

Wilfork retires ranked 14th on the club’s all-time tackles list, with 355 tackles. His 158 games played also rank as the 16th-most in club history, and are the sixth-most among all Patriots defensive players.

According to Yahoo Sports’ Shalise Manza Young, Wilfork won’t become eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame until 2022.
