The wing guy was moving toward the play and had what looked like a great angle from the side. (The same angle I had since I was standing right behind him)

Under that scenario, I'd be upset with the flag if I were the L/LJ. That said, I agree with the others that the U should not shy away from PI calls when they have the best line of sight in a four man.
