Why even punch the widest man off?

As a Linesman I want to know if my Line Judge has the player closest to him on or off the line. If both wings are punching a player off the line both had better be double counting backs. I dont want to guess that a wideout is off the line, throw a flag for a six man line, and then when I report the foul have the LJ tell me that his guy was on the line. This is just a matter of communication between wings.

You would be surprised at the amount of not verbal communication the goes on between officials at the NCAA and NFL level. Please remember that at D1 and NFL games, it is darn near impossible to hear due to crowd noise. You generally can not pick up the signals on TV. When you go to a NCAA game pick one position and watch him all game. You might see a wing pat his leg or tug on his flag prior to the snap. He just sent a message to the other wing.
