Excellent point Bob M. It may be a difficult sell for the opposite wing guy but if he clearly sees it's backwards then he is in great position to help out the R on the call. I personally like the idea of the wings punching back on a backwards pass but the majority of white hats that I've talked to don't seem to like that mechanic.
