I don’t recall hating on Tuiaki ever. I think his numbers speak volumes

And team defensive numbers have been decent the past 5 years.

He’s just a lot different than how bronco calls a defense.

I think bronco is much better and more cerebral. And bronco knows how to do more with less. But Tuiaki has done enough things right that he’s stayed in there.

yeah, pretending last year is more relevant to this year than this year is weird

I've said I'm critical of him. He was not a good DC. Something needed to change.

You're a guy on a couch who doesn't know what a good DC is. No offense.

You yourself admitted there were problems that needed to be addressed with the

There are people excuding last year. I'm happy with the changes and hope they

You got me on that. It was a game thread where I got overly emotional about how

How do the 2 games prove anything? Those opponents weren't really a good test.

Ok. You guys continually point to games against weak competition as proof that

Its consistency that ultimately matters, not 1 or 2 games.

That's bogus. He's been consistently pretty good. You point to 1 or 2 games as

I'm enjoying it, maybe people should stop trying to defend last years failures
