Hawk65, in general I agree with those statements, but there are some things to consider before you call a foul outside your zone. Each official has a zone or area of the formation or field to cover. This is done so that the entire field gets officiating coverage. If you are calling fouls in another official's area, what might you be missing in your own area?

Specifically to your play above.... The BJ is not in a very good position to rule on false start. I think the BJ should let this go. If I was the BJ I would mention it to the wing on the side of that TE and ask him if the TE false started, and did he see it. Perhaps he thought the movement I saw was insignificant and not actually a false start.
