If a player gives me "am I ok?" I will reply "you are on" or "you are off". I will also pinch in a little initially to be a little closer till he gets set. Then I back out the step or 2 to get back on the sideline where I will work. I will also assist the defender if he wants to get in close to the line to jam the receiver.
As far as linemen go, if they are just a little in the zone I will get in and tell the U and/or R to have the player back up a little. Only time I throw a flag, without a warning, is if I have an opposing coach over my shoulder hollering about it, which is actually rare, or if the player "hides" the ball on me.
