Gear down, flaps 20 degrees, target airspeed (121 KTS). For the flare, right rudder applied to remain parallel with runway line, left aileron to stay on centerline of runway. Touchdown 1000 ft down runway. Small drift to the left, first officer correcting back, at that point, captain, said 'my airplane,' (normal procedure during rollout after first officer landing) captain got back on centerline, as the aircraft slowed, he commanded 'condition lever minimum' to engage nosewheel steering.
