Guys, Its the exact same technique as a small GA plane.
On a re-engined Diesel 8 (DC8) no so, but every other airliner YES.
Crap it in, lower the wing, add rudder. You guys do it every day
and could do it in a airliner just as easy.

IDon't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I see a lot of Airline guys never using the rudder on landing.
It's a crappy,rough landing without. I guess they think
those thingys on the floor are there just for a foot rest!
