Is this an instance where, as a wing, you'd either cheat in a bit at the snap or come in hard to make sure you get a better view? I know you don't want to get caught too far in if they spring a trick play and the ball gets pitched back wide for some reason, but if it's obvious they're going up the middle and this is a key play, would it be acceptable to come in earlier and farther than you might normally as a wing on a goalline situation? EDIT: I see this has been covered, but not conclusively remedied. Some say yes, some say you don't want to get caught suckered if the ball goes wide. Both seem valid. I guess I'm going to squint and try to keep my eyes on that ball as best I can and maybe cheat in a bit, but not far enough that I can't get back.

Still, somebody's got to see it, you'd hope. If you see leather and see his knee down, there you go, call him down and be done with it. But you'd better be sure. This video is kind of inconclusive.
