CANADIAN MECHANIC:

The side guy reads the play. If there is a receiver deep on his side of the field, he shall move off the LS and only go so far that he doesn't spot the ball coming back to the play should it develop into a run or short pass. If the pass goes long, cover the extra space while the ball is airborne.

So, essentially, what 2_Flakes said.
