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.

Yep, something along those lines. Chappy was on JMV tonight, tons of discussion around Ballard being retained, Chappy made the statement that there is something that Irsay sees in Ballard that he trusts. He then said "Ultimately he lost that trust in frank for a
NUMBER of different reasons"- and he clearly enunciated the word NUMBER to add emphasis that he (Irsay) must have communicated a series of things he was tired of with Frank.
