The near side tackle has to be watched by the umpire and the wing on that side of the field. If they don't get a hold from him, nobody will. The umpire should recognize that you're picking up that opposite tackle and not worry at all about him.

Personally, I think it's just familiarity and repetition. I have no problems at all watching the blocking, etc. from the R position, but I've been doing it now for almost a decade. When I work a wing in a subvarsity game, I have to remind myself of my pre-snap/snap progression, just as you are here.
