Cowboy, nearly all NF games in my area are with four officials. The LJ starts off down field and the HL stays until the kicked ball crosses the NZ. Then he drifts on down. For him to stay another second shouldn't be a problem. At least I don't think it will be.
Four officials and PSK coverage could be a problem.

My thought is have the HL delay to assure the ENZ is cleared. If there is a delay by the kicker the LJ has all the territory behind the U to watch for illegal acts by R. One problem is LJ must know when the ball is kicked. There is a physics problem, that is, sound travels slower than light. The LJ hears the sound of the ball being kicked, if he can hear it at all.

I would appreciate any ideas from others.
