I would like to do an Eagles mailbag 📬, and I would like for you all to do half the work for me, so send whatever questions or comments you may have, please and thank you. 🙏

If Jonny Wilson put on 60-70 lbs, could he be a good offensive lineman? He's got the height, length, and willingness to block... Why didn't anyone give him some protein shakes?
The Lewis Cine poaching seems to be something they do often very late in the season. Is that a deliberate strategy and how often has it worked out (e.g. Boston Scott)?
Considering Dotson's perfectly cromulent game vs the zombie Giants, does you opinion of him change at all? Is his lack of production a product of the Eagles system, Hurts lack of trust in guys not named Brown, Smith, Goedert, or Stoll; or is he just bad?
With next seasons intimidating schedule, pending free agents, and a couple of aging players (Slay, Johnson) How much pressure is there to capitalize on #2 seed?
Is the QB or the Edge Rush the Eagles’ Achilles Heel entering the playoffs? I don’t see any other weaknesses in this team (except a very inconsistent kicker).
If it’s 4th and 1 at the 40 in a tie game late in the 4th quarter this weekend does Hurts:
1. Run the sneak risking another concussion
2. Hand off to Barkley
3. Watch Elliott attempt a FG
Hearing Kellen Moore will interview for the Jaguars HC, am I wrong in hoping he leaves this off-season? Not impressed by his work with Hurts. Yes the offense played well most of the time but I give Stoutland/Barkley/Oline more credit. Passing game was inconsistent and Hurts looked lost at times.
How high do you think the Eagles would trade up in the draft to get one of the blue chip players? Am I crazy for thinking 2 1's for Abdul Carter makes sense?
How much does Jake Elliot’s poor performance this season affect the Birds’ hopes in this playoff run? My feeling is that it may be a nearly insurmountable disadvantage if he doesn’t turn it around; the 2018 run and SB win turned on multiple clutch Elliot field goals.
How concerned should the Eagles be about WR3? Dotson has done the dirty but Hurts isn't throwing to him when he is open. Would a full off-season with Dotson gain Hurts "trust"? Do we wait to see how Ainias and Wilson develop? Is it worth more than a round 5 or later lottery pick in the draft?
Am I crazy for thinking that Walter Nolan would be a good pick for the Eagles in round 1 of the draft. It seems like the birds can use a new edge player with inside/outside versatility.
OTC isn't the best at showing dead cap for void years. Can you do a breakdown of how much dead cap will be hitting over the next few years assuming no contracts get modified?
How much do you think the Eagles have been holding back regarding offensive play calling these past few weeks? Even before Hurts went out it was feeling a little vanilla.
Will any ILB playing behind Jalen Carter have a much success as Baun and Dean? He eats up blocks, freeing up ILBs to come in and clean things up. Don't think you need a $20 mil/yr LB for that, right?
