If the H said it was behind the LOS... B picks up his flag, and H gets a downgrade.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.
So how do keys work in 7/8 man mechanics? I presume that the H/LJ would have the area near the LOS since there is plenty of help downfield. Keys are an initial read, and given the strength was to the H side, he'd have the inside receivers (at least in 5 man mechanics).
And re-watching, the receiver was the back. Who has the back in this case? Apparently the B?
