Euh, it's totally against Boeing SOP. I think you might have to take a good look in the FCTM under CWS.

by using the control wheel and column. Manual inputs by the pilot using CWS are the same as those for manual flight... "
It still is manual flight. PF should have his hand on the yoke and ask the PM to manipulate the MCP.
