Plenty
of intrigue, if not mystery, surroundings the Washington Redskins and Brandon
Scherff this offseason when it comes to his contract.
Not mysterious? Scherff’s elite play.
Scherff
was one of the NFL’s best again last year. But as Mike Johnson of
Pro Football Focus pointed out, Scherff topped the NFL among guards in pure
passing sets:
“Pure passing sets,” meaning the elimination of quick plays like
screens that take less than 2.5 seconds to better evaluate how a lineman holds
up for an extended amount of time.
Call this evaluation of
Scherff yet another mark on the resume that ranks him among the elite.
And combating interior pressure from the Aaron Donalds of the world is more
than ever, so rest assured the Redskins would take into account factors like
this at the negotiation table while thinking about the future of the Dwayne
Haskins era.
