what is really behind Eddie Lacy's turnaround?

A quick answer would be better run blocking, but looking back I don't think the run blocking was terrible in the first 4 weeks of the season. In all honesty I think lacy developed twinkle toe syndrome, meaning he had holes to hit but wasn't using his vision, he was running into blockers really for no reason. He was trying to be to cute and cut or do moves in the hole, it seemed like he was always looking for that wide open cut back lane to develop and it just wasn't there. on Thursday night though there was not much of that, he became a see the hole hit the hole runner, and with all that muscle behind those pads it worked very well, then after a first half spent slamming up the middle, then he saw a huge cut back lane and man, he used his plus vision and acceleration to get to the other side, turn the corner and put up six. I hope this is the eddie lacy we see for the rest of the season, because with a running game that dangerous, in tandem with the areal assault from Rodgers and company this becomes the most difficult to defend offense in the entire NFL. again basically just what I saw or thought I saw change with the running game, do you guy's agree it was mostly a change lacy had to make or do we think the Oline just blocked that much better in the run game??
