Zeffy's simplified use of reverse to maintain directional control would work most of the time if they never used assymetrical reverse to get into that situation in the first place. When the deviation first occured it could have easily been stopped by reducing left reverse immediately followed by reduction of all reverse until rudder control was reestablished. Now you are still on the runway, not off the side waiting for rudder effectiveness to return.
