Mike,
In both of the officials associations that I have worked with the umpire would drop a bean bag at the point of release of the pass (if close to LOS) and the referee would parallel the spot and check with the box and flag accordingly.
Since the NF changed the rule to be the position of the foot and not arm, I, as referee, trail the QB and eyeball the spot of the pass, get to the spot, check the box and flag accordingly.
