What I find interesting is how easily that legal 3 foot wide space to avoid a tag got eaten up with the runner moving full tilt. If there were not chalk by his feet to measure that he went 4 feet instead of the legit 3 feet, there is no way I'd have thought that he went too far to avoid the tag. He only went one stride wide. His next stride does not seem to be any wider than his initial avoid stride.

Without that measure on field I think that I would give the runner the benefit of the doubt on something that close. That video is an excellent tool to help us recalibrate what we think is the 3 foot wide "avoid the tag" path.
