This was a three man game? The U in those is basically a U/BJ hybrid. If he was 40 yards away, it was a hell of a throw. If it was a 4 man game, that is never the U's call unless its a crossing pattern right in front of him. He's turning with the ball and is in a position to call catch/no catch on a skipped ball when the wings are screened, but not PI from 40 yards away. Thats akin to throwing a flag over somebody's head - its not ego, its bad mechanics and just not done.

That being said, I've known only assignments and not crews since I started. There are definitely guys on my preferred list and some on my "Oh my god, not him again" list. I get a chance to pick up tips and points of view by working with different guys, plus I find out those little nuggets that may take a lot longer to learn. I guess the nightmare case would be catching on with a crew that has people on it you just don't mix well with.
