The static rudder pedal position is not adjusted properly or this is a very short pilot munchkin.

I guess they don't teach them to adjust the pedals to allow full brake with full rudder anymore...probably interferes with their social life!
Possibly correct but equally possibly Bloggs had the seat adjusted so that s/he could apply brake & rudder statically but once full rudder was applied dynamically, with gusto, and the leg tensed there was no ability to slide the foot up the pedal to apply brakes.

It's a bit chicken and egg. Did the rudder input lead to the asymmetric braking to maintain directional control, which was a bit wobbly, or did some initial asymmetric braking lead to full rudder for directional control thus subsequently preventing the application of symmetrical braking?
