'Now with Alonso out of the way, Brown is in the clear to resume his role as a starter at linebacker. When in a 4-3 scheme, Brown will be the middle linebacker, and then just an inside backer when in an odd-man front. He'll team up with Nigel Bradham as an up-and-coming duo that will help stabilize Rex Ryan's defense. While Brown may not have as much potential for improvement as Bradham, he's still a solid product in his own right.'
