Who says Toney checked with the referee? Cheffers' pool report says the refs are not obligated to tell players and/or coaches whether a player is lined up onsides. If Toney said he checked with the officials and he got the ok, it seems like someone is lying here.
This is a coaching problem as well. You CANNOT rely on the officials to be on your side. You CANNOT assume that they are going to help you out by telling you you are lined up on the LOS and should move back a few inches. Reid complaining that the officials always warn him is just naive - teach your players to line up behind the ball and if they don't get it right make them run sprints up a hill in practice until they learn to do it correctly.
