Just a thought.......as PF...by the time your'e selecting reverse, you will have had to fly the nosewheel onto the runway in any case.
As I see it...I didnt believe Beazlebub was suggesting reverser deployment before the nose oleo is compressed, further to this...as you well know with the spoilers armed and thrust levers closed....the spoilers (as a normal part of system logic) will extend...destroy the lift aft of the C.P. and hence cause a small but not insignificant nose down moment...all done to reinforce the process of tilt/compression and consequently activation of thrust reversers.
As an interesting note...in my B757 FCTM..and technical manuals, I can find no reference to the nose oleo/thrust reverser relationship.
(just goes to show that with Pilots....Boeing reckons knowledge aint power!!!
