I don't see the reasoning behind putting 2 officials on R's line in a 5-man game for something we'll be lucky to see once a season.
As a BJ I have clearly seen onside kicks, but not where we are surprised in any way.

I think coverage down field is more important. Then again maybe this will show some that 5 man crews are going to be flawed in our current game with the focus on safety and passing. I can only wish.
