As the Philadelphia Eagles showcased a dreadful offensive outing in the 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, it came as a result of missing its key stars. With the Eagles needing back Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, offensive lineman Jordan Mailata details an aspect that can help the team overcome the absences, as a timetable for return is up in the air.

With Barkley dealing with a hamstring injury and Hurts having a “superficial blood clot” in his calf, the feeling on when each will return is unknown. But for Mailata, the one trait that Philadelphia needs to have to help them is the “want-to.”

“Because they’re all individual mistakes. That’s why I think it’s like the focus, the lack of focus, and then you gotta have ‘want-to’ to focus. So if you’re lapsing in the moment…if you’re not focused in the moment, that’s like you’re not wanting to focus. That’s why I said the ‘want-to’ to be focused, the ‘want-to’ to understand your assignment, the ‘want-to’ to not cause any false starts, and you f***ing jump, try to jump the cadence because you got to call it,” Mailata said, via Eliot Shorr-Parks.

“You know, these are silly little errors that we can’t control,” Mailata continued. “And again, it’s something that we have to correct, and we have to want to correct. If it means staying back out to practice and getting these reps, that’s what it means.”
