We had a DPI called on a team (long pass, only two guys back there - the reciever and the DB) and another B player asked me after the play what number it was on. The BJ who called it had gotten the number wrong but it was pretty obvious who the penalty was on. I told the player the number and he told me that if we didn't have the right number, then it wasn't a foul.
I gave him the "come on, now" look. I do think, though, that that is how they look at it.
From the wing, it's hard to get numbers on, say, holds on a sweep to your side. I try to make a concerted effort to stay with the foul as long as I am able so I can get the number. I sometimes end up with the number of the player who is getting held, though.
If I make a mental note of the numbers to my side and in the backfield before the snap, it helps.
