Touchdown Signals

[Mike L]

Perhaps it's different in other areas (where everyone apparently could be standing there with their arms in the air) but around here it depends on the action involved.
If the BJ is on the goal line, he and the wing who boxes the run in will signal. If the BJ is on the end line, the wings signal a run in. Usually both wings but if the run is near the sideline/pylon, just that side wing will signal.
On a pass into the endzone near the endline, the BJ and the wing that is boxing in the catch will signal.
The U never signals and on a pile-up in the middle is expected to communicate to the incoming wing if he has it in. It's then up to the wing to decide if he had the runner down first or to signal in.
The R will only confirm the signal to the press box or on those hated situations where a turnover goes all the way (it's happened more than I like to remember), I've got the goal line all the way.
