I'm not sure where you're getting these mechanics from, but why would the umpire want to limit his scope of vision of action at the line by stepping to the LOS at the snap? Stay back and watch for holds, illegal blocks, etc.
Once the players start clearing out, turn to watch the action of players going down to cover the punt.
