The biggest thing Rut is right about is in this situation
the call is a judgement call so you have to trust each others judgement. I think he made a good analogy to the DPI that has to be vaived off when the ball is tipped. I have had it happen on more than one occasion where (6man) in doing what i am supposed to i never see the passes origin and i might throw the flag but U comes runing in saying NO IT WAS TIPPED. I eat that one because its U's job to see the Tip. Mine to see the contact. My back judge (im a field judge) never comes to me if i throw a dpi and says....he played the ball pick it up.... we may talk about it later so we understand how each other work and look at things. Here is a good example
on friday we had a long pass down the middle and i saw b stick his foot out purposely to cause a to fall and not cath a pass. the foot he stuck out was the one on my side so the BJ didnt see it
I flagged it instantly he didnt. He just went and covered my flag and I went in and reported it WH called it and it was marched off
at halftime BJ asked me why I threw the flag I explained what i saw and he said good call I was so busy watching his hands I just assumed he got his leg tangled up.
HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS DPI....BUt he waited until the right time to talk because it was MY JUDGEMENT and not a mis app of the rules.
I think thats what was had in this instance and what rut was tring to tell you
We work as the same crew all year and our rules are simple
(we go over them in pregame)
1) call what you see
2) if you think you have something, you dont
3) never qusetion your or any other crewmembers judgement
4) If you tink a rule or enforcement is being misapplied speak up
5) sell every call even the obvious
and lastly (said when we converge at the 50 after the cointoss) DONT F$#CK UP
