Introducing Snap-Weighted Size: Seahawks, Ravens Among Biggest Teams - Football Outsiders
In second place behind the Seahawks in defensive SWW were the New York Giants, whose general manager, Dave Gettleman, has a notorious obsession with “hog mollies”—and his preference for monster linemen is no myth. The Giants were the only team with three defenders (Dexter Lawrence, Dalvin Tomlinson, and Leonard Williams) to play at least 700 snaps at 300-plus pounds. Big Blue finished third in SWW at defensive line, 13th at linebacker, and 10th at defensive back. New York’s divisional rivals in Philadelphia had the league’s lightest defense … and while we’re talking about the Eagles, let’s mention that they were the league’s shortest defense too.
