If the game is more than 1 score apart in score, I usually simply tell the defense - "If he takes a knee, don't do anything stupid," and tell QB, "If you're taking a knee, get right down immediately." I've never had a problem with this, and if the ball does come lose, I've not jeopardized anyone.
If the game is within 1 score, however, I don't tell anyone anything, while having R and U pinch in a bit.
I think the game situation dictates your actions enough that a simple answer to this question does not apply to all situations. If the game was one where teams were already getting chippy with each other, I might consider some of the more strongly worded suggestions above.
