Well, yeah, he lands crabbed contrary to the guidance in the publications. And he only uses about half of the available rudder authority after touchdown, and then decides 78° of nosewheel deflection might work. None of those actions are what you'd expect from someone with a stitch of sympathy for the aeroplane. My point was that even after all that, differential braking may have prevented the excursion.
