From small quick Lears (23, 24, 25) through 707s and 767s (and dare I mention Airbus FBWs), I have never had to 'stomp' the rudder. Quick application, yes. Contrary to what it may appear, on the 23, you went immediately to the floor on a V1 cut or you visited the airport environs. And in high speed, with a BUF on the boom, you could yank an outboard to idle and gently apply rudder so that the receiver didn't know you had a simulated eng failure.
Hate to seem judgmental but from the info avail on this event and crew, they performed at a lesser level.
