I strongly think it actually takes two angles to always properly judge some block/charge plays. Most of the time, one angle is sufficient. However, there is always some direction of defensive movement that can be very difficult to see form any one position....that direction being along the line if sight from the official to the defender.

If you're looking at a block/charge play from the side (as is often the case with the C) and the question is whether the defender made it into the path in time or whether the defender leaned outside of his/her vertical space, that can be best left to someone with a different and better view.

Regardless of the angle, if an official sees an action that makes it a block, it is a block,. However, not seeing an action that would make it a block doesn't necessarily meant it isn't.
