Eagles Lineman Recognizes 'Hungry Dog' Look Of 49ers' Defense

So banged up are the San Francisco 49ers on defense that they signed linebacker Kyzir White off the street this week, and last month, brought in another street free agent in linebacker Eric Kendricks. ‘Undermanned’ is the word being bandied about for this Niners D.

And that has the attention of the Eagles’ offensive line, in particular.

“It seems when we watch the film, some hungry dogs over there, guys looking to prove themselves,” said left tackle Jordan Mailata. “This is the NFL, everyone, it doesn’t matter if you’re a starter or not, you have to go in there and prove yourself every week, so for me, when you have a great scheme and you have hungry dogs, that’s a dangerous team. They may not have the names on defense but that’s the guy you should be worried about.”

Mailata recognizes that hungry-dog look because, he said, "That’s a guy I never overlook because I was one of them."

White played for the Eagles for one season. It was the 2022 season that ended with him and the team in Super Bowl LVII. White, who grew up outside Philadelphia in the Lehigh Valley, finished with 110 tackles that season, playing all 17 games with eight starts.

He left for free agency after that season, spending two years with the Cardinals. This past season, he was signed by the Titans but was hampered by a hamstring injury, which limited him to only one game for Tennessee.
