First of all with just a runner on first with a two man crew or 3 man crew the plate is still going to trail. Then general rule of thumb is that when the runner going from first to second rounds second as if going to third the pu should be up there. You should trail and help with the tag as best you can and need that second set of eyes even if you are still pealing off to head to third. This would be the same in a 3 man crew because u3 is closed down 8ft from second and now goes to 15 ft to get the 90 and proper depth from f4 for a possible force. then u3 has to rotate around the bag on the outside of the diamond now closing down to 6-8 ft for a possible snap throw to second behind the runner. By this time just as in a 2 man crew the PU should have "half mooned" around toward 3rd base. So technically there is no help there in 3 man crew you just have to keep your eyes open as you peal off and if you are sure you see a tag stop set and call it.
