Yea, I'm giving up a bit on a throw to 1st behind a runner, but hell, there are times in a 4 man system when you give that up, and its so rare and less important that what is the likely play (2nd or 3rd) and the most important play (2nd and 3rd).
I would also agree with TussAgee. I believe that the PU should also yell OUT loud enough to help out BU, as this should be discussed in pre game especially if you are working with someone new. I believe that by yelling OUT it will help out if there is an appeal and the coach makes a statement that BU was not looking at both.
