Saints snap counts: Coaches change linebacker deployment vs. Browns

A.J. Klein played the most snaps of any New Orleans Saints linebacker in the Week 2 win over the Cleveland Browns, a quick change from Week 1 when Demario Davis played every defensive snap.

Klein in Week 2 led the group playing 48 of 62 snaps (77 percent) while Davis played 42 (68 percent), Manti Te'o played 35 (56 percent) and Alex Anzalone played 23 (37 percent).

It's unclear if the increased usage for Klein was part of the Saints' plan entering the game, or if he earned more playing time as he impressed throughout Sunday's game.
