Should I call the holding?
I informed the U and he has not calling it,
I don’t think you’d be out of line tossing your flag here. As a matter of fact I believe this could be your call especially if the tackle that is holding is on the same side of the field that your WH is setting up on. The blocking key mechanics I use go like this. The WH sets up on the passing hand side of the QB and keys on the far-side tackle .The Ump is set opposite the WH and keys the snapper and adjacent linemen. . The wings are keying on their respective tight ends or tackles. So depending on the play, you may be the only official who’ll have the “look” to make this call. You might try hanging back just a little before breaking so far down field. this could also help in case the QB ends up scrambling to your side.
