If they miss it because they're officiating and the player runs out of their line of sight, fine. We don't have 7 officials in my state.
I also don't mind if someone else gets this if it's obvious (back judge, for example).

I completely agree. If a player doesn't get off the field this is not my problem to save a penalty for your team. That is the problem of the team and the players. I think officials spend too much time trying to be safe than making a call that can clearly be seen on tape. And in this case, it was very clear on tape that the Giants player was two or three steps on the field when the ball was snapped. But I also agree that I am not turning my head just to make the call and I am not stepping onto the field to not make the call either.
