For some reason (maybe a constructive criticism from a more experienced official), back when I was a young official, I started to always verbalize "Player Control" (not "Charge") on "train wreck" block charge plays at the site of foul (preliminary signal) and while reporting.

Made sense to me use a matching signal (hand behind the head) and verbiage.
