IMHO, our mechanics for the OP could be :
(1) Go to flag 30 yards downfield and signal
(2) Go to flag 5 yards behind LOS, signal and enforce.
This is the obvious choice and doesn't need to be discussed with B's captain, only briefly explained. Don't put the kid in the position of making the bad choice and don't lengthen the game any longer then is necessary. Don't bet the Patriots will lose two in a row.
