I agree it was close

I don't see any reason to go OOO on this one. Block or charge, nothing more.
But I still think he got there before the player went airborne. The extra movement you see was just the player squaring up to take the contact. He moved his outside foot closer. This in no way moved him closer to the player. Of course, we have the luxury of seeing this in slow motion and we can re-run it. I don't blame the official for coming up with a block. I still think its PC.
