But this year he seems different, either he's purely playing the system or scared to take shots, or both. He is also slow as shit now it seems. Last year he could scramble effectively and pick up first downs. This year he's taking an extra second to recognize where to scramble, and he's getting stuffed.

I'm sure Reid is having him use the pocket more now that he has legitimate receivers developing outside of Maclin and the addition of schwartz at RT. Pete Carroll is also forcing Russell Wilson to stay in the pocket now that he has Graham, lockett, kearse and Baldwin. Rivera is reducing Newton's rush attempts, stewart is seeing more handoffs near the goal line since Cam had his concussion
Interesting fact, even tho Alex has rushed less this year his sacks are down 33% from last season..
