Passcatcher allowed a step?

I've seen these where the best call was traveling. Defender in position, and ball carrier jumps and intiates slight (incidental) contact against the defender. The offensive player isn't able to adjust to the contact and ends up traveling.

Traveling is called because the contact didn't put the defense at a disadvantage nor did it displace anyone. Happens regularly with good defense.

I agree that it does happen. But, just as many times, I've seen the defender get pancaked and a travel gets called. That's wimping out.
