mc, if we (wings) see it, we are instructed to punch it back to assist the WH. In a case like this, the whole crew should be concentrating on a number of things including R. R could be watching the QB for a roughing the passer call and not be able to see a quick pass to the sidelines and rely on a wing for assistance. Hence the term, crew.
