Good job ac_green33. As HairOfTheBear said, I hope you will continue to update the chart as the season progresses.

With the caution that sample size is small, some things stand out quickly:

JKS and/or Somerville heavily favor the left side. 52% of all attempts went to the left. Efficiency was similar on either side of the field (5.6 yards/attempt passing left, 4.8 right).

Only 15% of attempts went over the middle and efficiency was much higher at 10.6 yards/attempt.

We are extremely inefficient in very short range pass attempts. Passes with average target depth of < 5 yards averaged just 2.1 yard per attempt. These targets accounted for 43% of all passes.

By contrast, our deep passing is highly efficient, averaging 19 yards/attempt while consuming 15% of pass attempts.

These simple observations don't take into account important context, like field position, down and distance, or the possibility that the efficiencies seen at particular directions/distances are structurally linked. For instance, we throw a lot of very short range passes for painfully small gains while our deep passes are smashing, but it may be that if we attempted to reduce the former attempts to increase the latter, the efficiency on those deep throws might severely decline because defenses might back off (though this might increase efficiency of our short range passing). There's also no way to track the relationship between sacks/scrambles and play design from this data.
