Notebook | Hasselbeck meets old foe

Matt Hasselbeck ran into Vikings linebacker E.J. Henderson again.

They bumped into each other a few times in the first half of Saturday's exhibition game, won by Seattle 30-13. In fact, Henderson spent a good deal of the first half in the Seahawks' backfield, and hit Hasselbeck three times during a single series.

"He really was all over me all three plays," Hasselbeck said. "Unbelievable. Like a bad dream."

Those two have a history. Henderson is the one who fell into Hasselbeck's knee after a pass attempt last October. Hasselbeck suffered a strained knee ligament and missed four games. He said Henderson could have avoided the collision, while Henderson said he was blocked into Seattle's quarterback.

This week, Hasselbeck said he didn't know if he would talk to Henderson.

"I don't know what I'd say," Hasselbeck said Tuesday. "Thanks for ruining my season?"

Well, they did talk on the field after Henderson knocked Hasselbeck down on a play that resulted in an incomplete pass.

"I really don't hold a grudge at all," Hasselbeck said. "He's a good player. I just said, 'Hey, last year is last year. And no hard feelings.' "

Henderson buried the issue, too.

"He came to me and said it was all good," Henderson said. "I told him it was all good. We gave each other a tap and moved on."

Notes

• Ben Obomanu couldn't wipe the grin off his face as he described his 57-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

The talk turned to the wide receiver's rapidly increasing chances of making the Seahawks' 53-man final roster, and Obomanu, a former seventh-round pick in his second season, talked of controlling what he can control.

"You would hope to think so," Obomanu said when asked if such a play made a difference in the decision. "It is the NFL. A lot of crazy things have happened. The main thing I want to do is take care of what I can on the football field."

• The reporters swarmed around Kevin Hobbs in the locker room, and Hobbs did his best to hold court in talking about the interception he returned 39 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

As he spoke, teammates shouted congratulations and Bobby Engram walked by and said "You hit the big time now!"

"I can't even describe the feeling," Hobbs said.

• Leonard Weaver made a one-handed grab for a 5-yard gain. Unfortunately, it wasn't the only catch to his evening. The Seahawks used Weaver as the single back in third-down situations. He was penalized for holding, nullifying a 12-yard run by Maurice Morris in the third quarter and then Weaver lost a fumble in the fourth quarter. "He struggled just a little bit tonight," coach Mike Holmgren said. "We're going to look at the film, and it's the time of year for me that's least fun because we have to make decisions on who stays, who goes."

• Starting CB Kelly Jennings suffered a leg injury. Holmgren said tests did not detect any fracture, and that Jennings is bruised.

• DT Marcus Tubbs got in for a couple of series and said he felt rusty in his first game since last October. He thought he played OK.

• Vikings linebacker Cameron Siskowic suffered an injury in the fourth quarter and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. CAT scans detected no fractures and he was kept overnight.
