Remember you have the best view of the line and it's your opinion that matters not theirs, so if they're out of position and they make a signal that's asking if they're on the line, I'm gonna tell them. Either, "You're good" "back up" "move up".
I do it for both teams and both coaches appreciate the fact that they're not getting penalized for preventable fouls.

Don't use phrases like "you're good". That implies that you're reading their intentions, which may or may not be accurate and their intentions may change.
tell them their current status. On the line or off the line. If there's a TE, ask them if they're SURE they need to be on the line.
