I think it's still unclear whether they were both on the same page about elevator pitch, manual/electric pitch trim, and hand wheel pitch trim, but do stall concerns fit in with the above?
They spent a total of fifteen seconds working on pitch trim; first the FO, later, "together." It's not clear to me whether at any point they each freed up a hand to use on the hand wheels.
