Speed Brake/Reverse Thrust B737-200

Hi Folks,

I have noticed it recently and I can not see it in the books.

When the speed brake lever is in down detent position and while landing you decide to apply reverse thrust, the levers refuse to go into reverse unless you deploy speed brake manually and thats when it will accept to go into reverse.

This is a scenario where you have forgotten to ARM the speed brake before landing.

Any explanation for this please ?
