it's hard to put aside my dislike for Dungy's sanctimonious demeanor...i mean, he could have been the nun who taught me in sixth grade in another life...and i can never forget the stuff he said during spygate...
but when i do put that aside, i think his analysis, especially when he walks through videos of plays and players, is excellent. i actually look forward to it, sorry to admit.
I think Rodney is terrific and that he gets better and more relaxed with every show.
I think he's grown into the perfect foil for Dungy...let's face it, there are very few former players who have the smarts, the personal presence and the credentials to stand in there with a guy like Dungy. Rodney is able simultaneously to show deference to a Coach who has a lot of respect around the league (outside NE) and also often to give him a look that says, "What the **** are you talking about?" when he disagrees with him.
At the beginning of the season, Dungy treated Rodney like a smartass who was intruding on his segment, but now treats him like a partner. I think there's a lot of mutual respect there.
I hope they keep them together, because as Rodney settles into this role, I think there will be some great debates between them.
