What does Short Mid Deep Bomb mean on the Player Pages?

I have done all sorts of searches, in all sorts of ways, and I cannot find a simple key which says what Short Mid Deep and Bomb are.

I run a simulated football game called http://deeproute.com and I use the football outsiders information for accurate simulations of results.

Knowing the correct distances on player pages will help me create a more accurate sim.

Also... I bought the Premium content thinking there would be more specific data that I can use for the game I run, but it's just DVOA. Since there's no formula for DVOA, it seems totally worthless to me.

Am I missing something? Thanks

From FOA 2010: Short is 5 yards or less, Mid is 6-15, Deep is 16-25, and Bomb is 26+.
