When does the U blow his whistle?

Agreed. That's why they need to get off the damn sideline and do their job.

The problem is that since the mechanic was changed where wing officials start on the sideline, many are simply too lazy to close down on the play. I can't tell you how many wings I see bird dog spots.

No but you certainly need one of forward progress plays.
