Neck lanyard. At R and U, whistle in the mouth until the snap, then catch the whistle in my right hand as I spit it out. On a turnover as R, I will put it in my mouth and run with the play.
At L, LG, BJ, I keep it in my mouth unless the play goes the other way, at which point I drop it and catch it with my right hand. If it comes back my way or we are approaching the GL, I put it back in my mouth.
