I agree, if you have PI, throw the flag. Waiting will get your butt chewed quick. It makes you look like you had to think. Then, as mentioned, if it is picked, then you throw it, you deserve to get your butt chewed.
As far as back peddling, I don't do it. I am not saying it is wrong, I just don't feel comfortable in doing it. I run with my hips open when needed in my wing position.
On plays coming toward me on the side, I generally move backwards to allow the flow to go ahead of me and rely on the BJ come toward the play to observe. I then trail the flow to grab spot and clean up as the BJ comes and observe any dead ball activity.
I see a lot of wings, me as one as a younger official try to out run the flow. Nothing is being accomplished from this. I have found my position to be at a better view and to judge better as well.
As a BJ, I will back peddal when needed just to put more space but then turn.
