[QUOTE=Theisey]A sideline play is a real good example of where a quick whistle is needed as soon as you see a foot on the sideline.
Like someone pointed out, the runner does not know he is OOB and most likely the potential tackler is not about to let him continue running down-field as he does not hear a whistle.[QUOTE]
I'm a "don't blow unnecessary whistles" guy myself, but I completely agree with Theisey on this. This is the PERFECT time for a quick whistle.
