Jackson doesn't look any different than the first couple weeks, IMO.. still dancing and looking for yards.
What has changed is how Mike McCarthy is using him and the play calling differences.. running out of non traditional running sets.. taking advantage of the defenses inkling of pass first.. this is the balance I have been barking about. It allows the runs to be more effective and forcing the defense to respect the run out of passing sets.. helping the protection.
We aren't a smash mouth type of running team at this point with an undersized center and a left guard the lacks bulk to move people around.. but we are a team that should be able to screen, draw or run pulling plays to run out of those spread sets.
We had mistakes last night.. but Mike McCarthy IMO coached one of his better games last night.

Love how it's just about the same, but since we lost to the Dolphins, everyone and their Grandma is calling for Mike McCarthy's head. Now we have pretty much the same ratio of passes and runs and we win a game and everyone's patting Mike McCarthy on the back.
