My take is Reich, again was too weak of a leader to take control of roster control decisions. Probably saying things like, I'm not sure, I'll let you decide, we're fine with what we've got, that's above my pay grade...etc...etc...etc.
I mean how else can you explain, Nick Cross starting over Rodney Mcleod or Matt Pryor starting over my mailbox.
That should ultimately be the coaches decision. So Reich was either, blind, clueless, weak and got bullied by Ballard or didn't want that responsibility.
That's why Irsay had to step in.
