Only the covering official should sound his or her whistle after seeing the ball carrier downed. Now, that doesn't mean we won't be hearing other whistles after the action stops. Many times if an official has called a penalty, he'll blast the whistle to get the chain gang's and the R's attention. Also, if there's a chicken fight going on, a couple of blasts may help stop the action.
But, ONLY the covering official should sound the whistle to signal the ballcarrier downed. No official should "echo" that whistle.
