You can't apply rules based on player control like traveling to situations in which there is
NO player control. That's what you are still trying to do.
If you legitimately feel that the ball came to rest
during an 84-foot tap/bobble/fumble/muff/etc., then apply the applicable rules at that point of the play. But don't rule that the ball came to rest just because the play happens to offend
your idea of how the game should be played.
