In Texas (and CCA, I'm told), we are instructed as wings to "slide" 5-7 yards downfield when we read pass. That would include a pass behind the NZ. Without a BJ, we MUST be able to officiate downfield, so if they are throwing a second pass, I have to be downfield and won't be able to rule on or "punch out" the backward.
Had that exact play last week, and thought the first pass might have been forward, but I was 10 yards downfield already. I asked the R about it and he said it was backward, but I got the feeling he didn't think about it until after the play was over.
