I notice the R & U didn't seem too involved at all. R trailed way behind after the pitch and the U hardly moved from his original position. I don't think U can make that call here unless he moves more to his right and looks.
Here is my opinion on what you said.
The R is doing about what he should. He could have come harder after he saw no possibility for a reverse, but has to be a little careful for that possibility.
The U cannot flow too much with the ball or he may miss blocks on the inside of the play which could be critical for a cut back by the runner.
The H or L should have been at the goal line waiting for the play by the time the block occured cuz the ball was snapped at the 6 and as soon as he saw the wide pitch he should have quickly moved to the goal line and waited there. No way should the ball carrier beat him to the goal line, which is does.
The BJ should have had the call, as the wide out is his key and he does not have goal line responsibilities on a ball snapped from the 6.

Since I know the BJ is the one who supplied the video, 1st of all-thank you. It is a great learning tool that I am going to send to my crew to watch, and 2ndly - don't beat yourself up. We have all missed a call that after watching on tape we know we should have seen. Thanks again!
