Eagles star reveals brutal truth behind the team’s struggles — and why it’s so alarming

After back-to-back losses, Jordan Mailata didn’t mince words when describing what’s truly gone wrong for the Philadelphia Eagles: “Focus — quite frankly, we haven’t had it.”
Watching the game film, Mailata saw what the numbers already revealed. “You turn the tape on and it’s clear — we weren’t focused here, we weren’t dialed in,” he said.
The Eagles’ offense, currently ranked 25th in rushing and 29th in passing, has looked lost. After a 34–17 blowout loss to the New York Giants, the team held a tense Monday meeting to address its identity.
Mailata’s locker-room message was raw: “Do your f---ing job. I’ll do mine. They’ll do theirs. Don’t look at anything else. Just dominate your box — everything else will take care of itself.”
Right guard Tyler Steen echoed that sentiment, saying the team’s problem comes down to focus and communication. “In the classroom, it looks easy,” Steen said. “But when you’re live, things happen that you don’t expect. We’ve got to stay locked in.”
Injuries and fatigue may also play a role — after all, the offensive line endured a 20-game Super Bowl run last season. Still, the locker room insists the fix lies within.
New offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has faced criticism for lack of creativity, yet veterans like A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert are backing him. Goedert said: “We’re 4–2 — no panic. I’ve got full faith in KP and this offense. It’s just about execution.”
As the Eagles prepare to face the Vikings, Mailata’s challenge to his teammates hangs in the air: focus, execute, and reclaim their identity.
