Positioning of R

[CT1]

For 5-man ... why in the world do you care about the RB going OOB on the wide side. Not your job.

I don't understand the comment above about the RB going OOB. I mean, we have wing officials, after all.

Maybe it's a regional thing. We have many plays each game where a RB or QB goes into the opposite sideline and the potential for misconduct is high. Certainly it's the wing's primary area. It's the responsibility of the BJ and the R to get over there to help police the OOB action.

Really, now -- how many times do you actually have to rule on a QB pass/fumble in a year? And of those, how many are so close that you can only get it right from the passing arm side? How many are in potential game-changing situations?

I prefer to have the field balanced.
