A big portion of the plays up the middle where nobody can see the ball you should not hear a whistle. You can bet that if somebody guesses the ball is in the pile, the moment they are blowing there whistle when the pile goes the ground is the same instant the ball is laying on the ground out of view. If you don't see the ball, you should not have a whistle. Obvious incomplete passes, runners going OOB you may not hear many whistles on those. If players don't know the play is over you will likely hear officials using their voice to let them know. We do more talking than we do blowing our whistle. We'll use it when we really need to get their attention but more times than not, the players are all stopped when they see the ball is dead so there won't me much use of the whistle on those plays.
