When he knows guys are going to find openings in zones, he does OK. It's man defense where he seems to hold the ball too long.
I'd be interested to go back and look at this over the course of the season.

Teams playing press/trail have been giving us issues all year. It may not be 100% on Alex, it depends on the routes being called because a lot of them you do not want to throw vs trail.
