I work semi-pro games using NFL rules, also. We do have one major modification. Crowd noise rules are waived. (They hope to have enough fans to make a lot of noise). In response to your question, the deep guys have to know the limits of the 5 yard legal chucking area without help from the guys on the line, who have their own responsibilities. If he couldn't handle that call when the ball was snapped on the B8 how is he going to make the call when the ball is snapped on the 50?
