Is this just practice and get a timing thing working or is there a correct mechanic for this?
Quite honestly, I question how this can be done on most any punt. What happens when you're on the punter's right, he punts on the ball goes OOB to that side of the field? There's no way you're going to be able to move to the punter's left, see the punt and know where it went OOB.

My answer is that there's no better way, except to put the U back there as well.
That discussion has been here before. We are going to try this mechanic, because I honestly do not know how else to do it.

We spent 4 minutes in the middle of the field last fri night trying to determine ABOUT where the ball went out. I did not even know it went OB, BJ and LJ on far side of field, U had not looked down yet, and HL had back turned attemtping to get down field. I know R has call of where ball is spotted, but HOW???????????????
