Well, I'd caution against assuming the "lightbulb has gone on" after two good games. But as I said in the story, it can take a long time for off-ball linebackers to figure it out, and Walker had to learn a new defense two years into his career. That doesn't explain away all of his struggles, but perhaps he would have shown progress sooner under different circumstances.
Matt LaFleur's comment about Walker having a better understanding now of what's expected of him seemed telling.
