This brings up a point that I was going to start a new topic about but I'll just post it here.

Do you guys find yourself calling fewer traveling violations than partners normally? Roughly the same amount? More than your partners? I've found, this season especially, that it seems I call a lot fewer traveling violations than most people I work with. I'm not saying that I don't miss a few, because I'm sure I do, but I'm beginning to think that some people call travels because they "look funny" and coaches/fans constantly want them called even when they're not violations. It seems like guys call traveling a lot when players don't have control of the ball. Usually it happens when a player is running and trying to catch a pass and fumbles the ball while still running.
