Wondering if I was wrong in telling my wingman this or if worked it correctly.

Generally on a running play the wing will let the play "go by" then trail it.

Option play to his side. After crossing the LOS, the QB pitched it at the last second to the RB. My wingman was about 3 to 4 yards behind the play. It was borderline from what I saw trailing the play from the R spot as to whether the pitch was lateral or forwards. He threw the flag saying it was forward. I told him since it was so close he needs to read that play as being an option (seeing the RB trailing the QB) and stay with the QB until he pitches it, this way he is on the same yardline to see if it truely forwards or backwards and thus can sell it better. Throwing the flag from 3 or 4 yards back does not look real good.

Your thoughts.
