I feel like he isn't trying to use the yard line markers to help him. For instance, sometimes I as wing will have a spot with my foot just over a yard line and he will miss that by a half yard. It's pretty embarrasing when a team loses a yard and a half on an incomplete pass. I want to be tactful but really want to help him be more consistent. Thanks.
I had an umpire last year that kept missing the spot. One of my wingmen pointed out his knees were bad; therefore, he had the correct spot when he looked at the wingman but knelt over such that he would miss the spot.
