Eagles Star Jordan Mailata Speaks Out on Team’s Struggles, Reveals Harsh Truth Inside the Locker Room

The frustration inside the Philadelphia Eagles locker room has reached a boiling point after two consecutive losses — and Jordan Mailata didn’t hold back when asked what’s really going wrong.
The veteran offensive tackle admitted that execution and focus remain the biggest problems for an Eagles offense that ranks 25th in rushing and 29th in passing this season.
“Our focus hasn’t been there, quite frankly, to be really blunt,” Mailata told reporters on Wednesday. “You turn on the film, and it’s just like… okay, we weren’t focused here.”
Philadelphia’s most recent defeat, a 34–17 loss to the New York Giants, exposed deep issues across the offense. Mailata said the team needs to “clean up” their mistakes before facing the Minnesota Vikings next week.
His message to teammates was crystal clear:
“Do your f---ing job. I gotta do my job. They gotta do their job. Everyone’s got to do their job. Don’t look at anything else. Just dominate your box and everything will take care of itself. If everyone can do that, that’s the message.”
Mailata’s honesty has sparked a larger conversation about accountability inside the Eagles locker room. Tyler Steen, the team’s young right guard, agreed with the assessment, admitting that focus and execution have slipped in key moments.
“When you’re in the classroom, it seems simple,” Steen said. “But when you’re doing it live, things come up you don’t expect. We need to get back to communicating, refocusing, and trusting our training.”
Fatigue and injuries may also be contributing factors. The Eagles’ offensive line played 20 games last season on the road to the Super Bowl, and this year, key starters like Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens have battled lingering injuries.
“I mean, maybe,” Steen added. “It was a long season last year, and guys have been fighting injuries all the way to the end. That could have something to do with it.”
The struggles have also put a spotlight on new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, who’s been criticized for predictable play-calling and lack of mid-game adjustments. Still, veterans like A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert refuse to place all the blame on coaching.
“Our job is to come out and execute,” Brown said. “I can’t worry about what people say. My job is to go out there, run my route, and go back to the huddle. If everyone has that mindset, we’ll be fine.”
Goedert echoed that confidence, standing by Patullo despite the criticism.
“I’ve got full faith in him, full faith in this offense,” Goedert said. “We’re going to be even more productive. It’s a tough league, but Kevin does a great job communicating what he wants to see. Sometimes we just don’t execute early, and that puts us behind.”
As the Eagles prepare for a crucial matchup against the Vikings, the message from the locker room is clear — focus, execution, and unity must return if Philadelphia wants to save its season.
