I believe the thrust will follow the FD which will not be appropriate as you are flying a visual approach, or not what the FD is commanding. Both FD's off will put the thrust into SPEED mode and will command the thrust to give the managed speed (or selected speed).

This is my understanding - which may or may not be completely accurate.
