I'm only throwing that flag if I am looking at the sticks and its blatantly obvious that he's over the line.

There's rush to throw that foul.

If the QB is rolling away from the sticks, our mechanic (5-man) is to have the U drop a bag at the spot of the pass, then go back to the spot with the R to take a look. We do this because the LJ is not holding the line and drifts dowfield after reading pass. The R & U will take a look, and then decicde if they need to throw a flag or not,
The U should be straddling the LOS as he pivots to watch the blocking behind the point of attack (QB scrambling). Plus R should be able to follow QB and get to the spot of throw.

You really want to explain to a coach that you didn't throw the flag because the kid didn't run to the preferred side of the field?
