REPLY: I agree with snake-eyes. I've never heard of the wings 'swallowing' their whistles when the ball becomes dead inside the hashes. Standard practice at all levels of football is that the wings blow on most plays. One notable exception would be a dive play where neither wing can see leather and can't even tell if the runner appears to be down. Then they sometimes will rely on the U to help.
