"Down the sideline" (in the original post) doesn't exactly tell me much. I'll know from the location of the flags who could be expected to give an opinion. On the sideline or very much near it, no, I don't expect the other wing to be any help.
Like you said, I'll want to talk to the two involved guys first. Since the U is involved in penalty enforcement anyway, he'll be sliding in and if I need his opinion, I'll get it. In a 5-man (or 4-man) crew, the U has to help on passes more than if we had 7 out there.
