As R, I trail the QB on the play, then I sprint to the exact location of his feet when he releases the ball. I will throw a flag or not. I don't bean bag these plays since the bean loses precision anyway if you toss it a couple of yards.

Do you practice flag throwing? Bean bag throwing?
I love how the NFL guys always land the flag at spot of foul. That doesn't come without practice.
