You're throwing a flag even if your not looking at the sticks?? Are you taking a peak back at the sticks before or after you throw the flag, or do you just go back and look at it afterwards?

I'm only throwing that flag if I am looking at the sticks and its blatantly obvious that he's over the line.

There's rush to throw that foul.

If the QB is rolling away from the sticks, our mechanic (5-man) is to have the U drop a bag at the spot of the pass, then go back to the spot with the R to take a look. We do this because the LJ is not holding the line and drifts dowfield after reading pass. The R & U will take a look, and then decicde if they need to throw a flag or not,
