This much is certain: the run defense has improved and Clay Matthews’ statistics have all gone up since he moved inside.

The starkest change is in a reduction in long runs. In the first eight games, the Packers gave up 30 runs of 10 yards or more (3.75 per game), including six of 20 or more. Since the bye week, after which Matthews moved inside, the Packers have allowed nine runs of 10 yards or more (2.25 per game), none longer than 13 yards.

I am having fun with it Mucky. The whole team has stepped up and played better. Results are more points scored and less points allowed which means wins for the good guys.

There are a few things.

I think the secondary has proven itself enough in coverage where Dom has more confidence in leaving them without help allowing for more attention to the run defense.
I think the Dline has been getting better, and Dom has learned more how the different players work best with each other.
I think having Neal/Perry on the field rather than Jones makes the entire defense better.

And I think Matthews could be very good at ILB if he would stay there. It was to easy for offenses to scheme to take Clay out of a good portion of plays by running away from him, or chip blocking or lining up where he would have to drop into coverage. In the middle, he has more chance of being involved in every play.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!
