I agree... the only time I want to see my R call this is when working a 3 man crew and someone on the wings is new. And then only if he's SURE he has 11 on the field and SURE he has 5 in the backfield.

I've picked up illegal formation fouls on field goal attempts and PATs as the referee. I realize that the wing holding the line should get these, but again, I'm not going to miss this as a crew because a wing misses this.
