Here in MO, they don't want the R touching the ball at all. I think they feel that he has enough to worry about. They want the back judge coming in to help out.

In my opinion, most back judges don't move enough. Some barely even think about coming towards the LOS. Not all mind you, some.

At times though, I feel that the R can triangle the ball in easier that the BJ because he will theoretically have fewer players in his way.
Our BJ is part of the triangle, relaying the ball to the U. On passes, the BJ is more likely to retrieve the ball. We've had 4 guys touch the ball after some plays, depending on the play. I don't like letting the ball sit there waiting for someone else to pick it up while I am close to it. I like to be active. As long as I am following the ball, I might as well help relay the ball. On most sideline plays, I am not retreiving, but relaying the ball to the U. This is more than theory.
