Spoilers

At that stage of flight, the gear would be up, and you would be pribably speed limited to use much flap, if you are trying to decend and slow down, this is difficult in a modern jet as they are so 'slippery'

Spoilers would slow it down to a speed safe to operate gear and flap. They would still be waaaay above the stall speed.
