While size isn't everything it's always interesting to take a look at the measurables when there's so much "who's the more physical team?" talk going on.
Using NFL.com rosters for consistent HT/WGHT measures I came up with the following numbers*
1. Uses 12 players on Offense and Defense (extra WR, extra CB)
2. Only used starters, obviously Seahawks depth on D doesn't get factored in (stamina related)
3. Included KJ Wright instead of Smith, 49ers 6'4 300lb FB included (may not play/start)**
Seahawks Offense
Average Player - 6'2 2/5 ft. 255lbs, 26 1/2 years old
Niners Offense
Average Player - 6'3 ft. 268lbs, 28 years old
Seahawks Defense
Average Player - 6'2 ft. 246lbs, 26 1/3 years old
Niners Defense
Average Player - 6'2 2/5 ft 255lbs, 26 1/2 years old
Doesn't alleviate my worries about the 49ers mauling offense but interesting how close the numbers are. I'm going to throw it in a excel or google doc and work on position groups and matchups (ex. Hawks Dline vs. 49ers Oline). Just from looking at the numbers both Dlines are comparable the 49ers Linebackers dwarf ours as our DBs dwarf theirs.
They are certainly heavier on the O-line and our offensive measurable are reduced greatly by having 3 5"10 200lbs players.
*1: Pretty sure I've now done more work on the seahawks this year than Terry Blount.
**2: The two hawks defenders who arguably should be included M.Smith and Avril are 6'1 225 and 6'3 252 averages out to 6'2 238lbs 25 1/2 years old. Seems we do have a bit of a profile hah
