From what I've read, LT has done some extensive training and conditioning in the off-season. While I'm sure most NFL players do, this article talked about how his trainer examined him, and said, "I bet you make most of your cuts to the left, don't you?"
He said, "yeah, how'd you know?"
"Because your left hip is alot more developed than your right."
So they made him more of a complete package; and he got some actual coaching at being a running back. While this might change his natural ability and instincts, which had carried him (and quite well, too) throughout college and the first couple of years, he clearly was working hard to improve something that was already great. Is it a coincidence that this happened the summer before he got a new contract from the notoriously stingy Chargers? Maybe, maybe not. I'd put my money on Lt winning it though.
