The B737 lands in a relatively low nose attitude, and the nose wheel touches dow not very long after the mains - as I recall, getting full reverse requires the nosewheel to be on the ground - by contrast, in the B767 and B747, the nosewheel is "held off" for alot longer, comparatively, and full reverse is deployed with the nosewheel in the air.
