Wings are not supposed to be ahead of the play in even 6 or 7 man mechanics. They follow the play and they have forward progress all the way to near the goal line in most cases (depending on the location of the LOS and goal line). So what he suggests is not even done at the college or NFL levels with 1 or 2 more official on the field.

Peace
