737 does not require reverse thrust nor speedbrakes to stop the aircraft
No civil aircraft requires reverse thrust to stop the aircraft. Aircraft certified under FAR 25 (or it's equivalent) do not take credit for reverse thrust in the Landing Performance certification. Reverse thrust is a bonus, as is any AFM data providing you with landing distances using reverse thrust.
