I think the opposition are putting a lot more work into him. This is a purely subjective view with no data to back it up, but it's seemed he hasn't been afforded the space he was last year, and he's under a lot more pressure with ball in hand this season.
It's like they've become more aware of the need to defend on the 45 degrees for his kicking style rather than necessarily taking the space directly in front of him
I'm thinking he'll be smart enough though to work through this
