Quick Football Q

What is the usual accepted range for short, medium, and long passes?

I was under the assumption short was any pass between 1-5 yards, medium between 5-10 yards, and long anything over. However, I'm not really sure. Does anyone know?

I would say that

<10 = short
<20 >10 = medium
>20 = long

Thanks for the input. Reason I was asking is because my fantasy football team is playing a team that favors passing between 7-12 yard passes. I just want to know how to set my pass defense between short/medium/long accordingly.

I've got my team currently set to 50% short, 40% medium, and 10% long.

According to KC Joyner's metrics (who is one of my favorite writers), short is 1-10, medium is 11-19, deep is 20-29, bomb is 30+.

Nah, it's an online MMORPG where you create a couple players and then get drafted. After that you gain XP for being in games and level up, allowing you to spend skill points on stats like carrying, tackling, blocking, speed, agility etc.

16 regular season games, plus 4 playoff games if you make it. Games are played every 2 days, and we're on our 14th game of the season, currently in position to make playoffs.

Thanks Deeko!
