I think this is a great question and one that I would like to hear some opinions on. If the team spreads players out on 4th and Goal from the 1/2 yard line and runs a QB sneak, as a wing official, should we haul *ss and pinch in (and leave players behind us), or be a little more deliberate, being mindful of the players (while not appearing to have good coverage of the goal line).
I guess in short, what is more important, the goal line or the players?
