When does the HL tell you this? Before each play when the ball is from 4-5 yards away from the line-to-gain?
When it's within a yard of 5 from the line to gain. Most times I'll notice myself and ask the L if he's occupied with other things. Just part of the presnap routine for us.

The L on my crew is the only person not tasked with counting players (the R/U count offense and the LJ/BJ count defense) mainly so he can focus on the chains and look for things like this.
