That's be my guess as well.
I meant to include the possibility of raw arrogance in there and forgot to as I was typing it.
Yeah, I'm betting he saw Sorensen on the other side and thought "I'm just gonna beat him to the edge..."
The myth of "Dirty Dan: Scrappy White Hustler" strikes again. People have been calling that guy a stiff box safety for his entire career and treating him like Rich Scanlon. The guy's actually damn athletic and that's why he's been among our better playmakers for years.
Reid looked across the line, saw the white special teams guy with an undeserved rep of being unathletic, and thought he was gonna just run right by him.
In either event, BoB almost certainly gave his team a way out and be it incompetence or raw hubris, Reid botched the decision.
