With the drafting of Randall, Rollins, HHCD, Goodson and Hayward in recent years, TT is trying to get back to what he had in 2009-2010. It's not what Wist wants, but is what won them a Super Bowl.
One could argue 2010 roster was no more physical than this year's roster. I would suggest, however, that there is no meaningful way to measure how "physical" a team is and that it is not worth arguing about. It can be used as a broad talking point, but it is to abstract to be much more than that.
