'The play of the linebackers. Going into the season I thought this was the unit with the most question marks but they've played very well as a group. Like the rest of the defense, the play has tailed off a bit in the last three games(more on that later) but they still get a good grade. Jerry Hughes has been..well..Jerry Hughes. Zach Brown turns out to be a tremendous "dust settler" signing by Doug Whaley and no one could have predicted what Lorenzo Alexander has done. Preston Brown looks more comfortable in the Rex Ryan scheme in year two.'
