I think what he is saying is the roll solution to uncontrollable pitch up -could- have been employed sooner in the sequence, when airspeed was still available. The fact that speed degraded so far while wings level suggests the pilots did not (obviously), could not (must wait for fdr), or simply were not aware of, the rolling solution.
edit: changed -should- to -could- ... my apologies if that was taken the wrong way.
