They also flipped the guards, are starting Dietrich-Smith at center and starting Barclay at RT. All trend towards better RUN blocking.
Before Bulaga was lost for the year, the guard and tackle flip was laready planned to strengthen the run blocking. Part of the plan since the beginning.
Not to run more, but like you said . . .run more EFFECTIVELY. Lacy can run effectively. Also has very little competition for carries with Harris on IR, Franklin very average, and Starks . . .well . . .is James Starks.
I havent been this high on a Packers RB chances since Ahman Green. Just my 2 cents
