I'd ask someone in your area what your mechanics on the situation is for your group. Around here, it's the R's call all the way. He may get help from the U, maybe even from the wings. But it's the R's call, the U should not be throwing the flag on this one.
What I do is, as I'm following the QB I take a snap shot of where he is when he releases the ball. Don't worry about the line yet, just get to that spot. In most cases you can just finish the play there, because your primary responsibility remains the QB and the ball is downfield with the players usually moving there too. Then just look to the box to see where your line is. If you are over enough, drop your flag, there's nothing wrong with a slow flag for this call. If for some reason you have to move off the spot, just look before you go.
