NFL Defensive Lines by Weight

[patriot lifer]

Below is a link on the average starting defensive lineman weight by team. Its chronology is by weight.

Of course, one can question the datas' accuracy, but I thought it interesting. Some of the notables:

Jets - #1 heaviest
Pats - #16 heaviest (right in the middle)
Seahawks - #27
49ers - #25
Broncos - #15

Teams range from 262 to 285, but most teams are at 270 +/-5 (22 teams). Nothing earthshattering, but it's of consideration for our distribution of run versus pass against different teams. It's also of consideration because nothing is happening right now.

Obviously the three-four teams will have heavier averages.

Not necessarily. The 49ers employ the 3-4 as their base defense. I have to wonder how much sub-packages and different alignments are being figured in here.

Means are not good measures of central tendency if the distribution is skewed.

So the Green Beans have a bunch of lard-asses at DL. It would be interesting to see other ratings based on strength, speed, etc.

Hmmmmm...round, green and white. We could call them the Frosty Peas.
