I'm with Bob. Looks to me like she stops any significant forward movement, but I'm not married to either call.

Either way, a travel is a horrible decision here.

They allow that now? Man. I thought that I lived in a liberal state (and, for the most part, proud of it)?

I'm amazed at how many people use a travel to avoid making a tough block/charge decision. Like I've said to others, film don't lie. It may look like a travel if you completely ignore the contact, but that doesn't make the call any less wrong.

Truth is that some of these plays are close to 50/50 calls and the official on the spot, given good training, will just go with an initial instinct, and those of us sitting at home will pick the call apart.

My guess is all three officials took a good look at the video on this one after it was over (they've all been observers at camps I've attended). My first thinking when I saw the play was they may have pre-gamed "if someone hits the floor, let's make sure we have a whistle." Again, I'm just guessing here but I'm sure that's something we've all heard at one time or another.

That's way close, but it is in no way a travel.

Because they do not have to.
