My concern there is that the new official hasn't been game tested all season from the position he is seeing now. Other officials around him also now have different responsibilities as well. I feel that responsibilities should be second nature at that point so that mistakes are limited. Perhaps adding the extra guy isn't that big of a deal but if it puts any kind of doubt in your mind as to coverages or positioning then it hasn't helped right then.
