How do you know the ball is correctly placed after marching 5 yards? The tape on the chain is pretty much a standard mechanic at all levels. If the down box guy isn't on the ball then the HL has to keep him in line.
Interestingly enough, this is where the phrases "on the ball" and "keep him in line" originated.
