on defense is because Tuiaki doesn't believe he has the athletes that can cover or get to the QB. So he just plays base the whole game. I disagree with his philosophy but I'm guessing that is what he'd say.

You're assuming that aggressive defense would have won us more games.

This strategy gave us the ball in the final minutes versus Utah, down only 6

His growing pains will be worse IMHO, because he does not have Taysom or Jamal lining up in the backfield...
