"Off the bag" is a very good mechanic, actually. It is one of the additional signals taught in pro baseball umpire school to help sell a close call. The "off the bag" signal is most often used on a close play where the runner is safe and F3 pulled his (her) foot off the bag to receive the throw. However, in this type of a situation, it would make sense to signal off the bag, and then give the "banger" out signal while indicating the tag.
