Simple...just walk over to the instant replay and get under the hood. :-)

On a serious note, the R needs to probe and ask more questions to see if one of the wings was potentially screened on the play. It's R's job to look for where there could have been doubt somewhere; at least I think so.

If at the end all things are equal you have to make a call then I'd probably go with the official who was closer to the runner. I'm not sure what else you could do. If the player was in the middle of the field I'd probably go TD.

Seasoned Referees...anything different???

Your input would be greatly appreciated especially since I'm moving to the R position this coming season.
