My concern is that too many think it's a block for the wrong reasons; "He wasn't set," "he hadn't stopped," etc.
If you don't think he established LGP in time, or that he broke LGP by moving into the shooter, fair enough.

Since I watched the initial video probably a dozen times and still couldn't come up with a clear, obvious call, ultimately going with a block just based on experience and instinct, I would not surprised at a fairly even mix of charges vs. blocks from the video alone.
However, I am quite surprised, after the breakdown of the frame-by-frame, that any one still thinks it could be a charge. The frame-by-frame unequivocally shows that the defender was still moving into the shooter's path at least 2 frames after the shooter was airborne. Given that, it can't possibly be a charge. The only counter to it is to wish the video was HDTV quality...but it was, as grainy as it was, sufficient to see what needed to be seen.
