I do. It's called "refereeing the defense".

I know what it is called and I do not see the defender do anything but move laterally.

For close plays like this one, I have found that something will be obvious that would indicate that the play is a block.

I didn't see anything that is obviously a block. I did see something that tends to a PC, although it wasn't a clear-cut case for that either. In the end, I've got a PC.

I think the L gets the first crack at this one. I agree with bob that a no-call is wrong, so if I'm the C, I'm stepping in only if the L doesn't. I definitely don't see this as a "crew call" that was mentioned in another thread.

Ref the defense does not mean to look for reasons to call a foul on the defense.

I'm guessing you really don't mean it this way.
