Dungy targets Eagles woes

NBC commentator Tony Dungy didn't take long to weigh in on the struggles of the Eagles and the Steelers after their games Sunday.

“The two teams from Pennsylvania, the Eagles and the Steelers, are both in trouble and it’s for the same reason," Dungy said on Football Night in America. "They have a lot of star players, a lot of skill position guys but their offensive lines can’t protect the passer, and their defensive lines can’t stop the run.” 

Dungy, of course, mentored Eagles quarterback Mike Vick. Should the Eagles choose to replace Reid,  or the Big Guy decides top move into thee front office, Dungy could be an intriguing successor.
