There's a poetry to the way T.J. Houshmandzadeh talks. Transcribing an interview is similar to how it felt to transcribe an interview with Gary Payton with a rhythm and a fluidity that doesn't always translate when you take snippets of what he says.

In that spirit, here's a transcript of the questions Houshmandzadeh was asked Friday.

Q: When things are going tough for a team, do people read too much into things that wouldn't be such a big deal in other situations?

Houshmandzadeh: Like what?

Q: Oh, I don't know, gestures.

Houshmandzadeh: Man, I've been doing that my whole career.

Q:Has it gotten this kind of attention before?

Houshmandzadeh: No. I've done that my whole career. Guys from Cincinnati texted me and said they're surprised it took to Game 7 for me to do it. I think people in Cincinnati knew me. Marvin knew who I was and so whether I was right or wrong -- probably wrong -- it was just he knew it was the competitor in me. I didn't mean no harm by it. I'm just upset by the course of the game, which I would hope everybody is. Some people express themselves differently.

Yeah, it never got this attention before. I'm shocked, but it is what it is.

That included tackle Sean Locklear, who participated in a full practice for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 2. He is listed as probable, which means there's a virtual certainty he would be available for normal duty. Could he start?

"He could, but we haven't made that decision yet," coach Jim Mora said. "We like what Damion McIntosh has done. It has been a long time since Sean has played. It's nice to have him available, though."

Locklear said afterward he feels ready to play, but his role had not been discussed with him.

"I'm ready to go," Locklear said.

If Locklear doesn't start, Damion McIntosh will make his second consecutive start at left tackle for the Seahawks.

Here's the description from the posting: "I've decided to send my Hasselbeck jersey the way of my Mariners jersey, my Sonics jersey, and the do-do bird: EXTINCT! The below jersey is officially for sale. It is a size large. The price is make me an offer. In addition to the price of the jersey you'll also be required to play left tackle for the remainder of the season or until you are injured, whichever comes first. Enjoy!"

Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was not limited in practice Thursday after sitting out part of Wednesday's practice. Will there ever be a point in which he isn't so sore early in the week after a game?"I would hope so," Hasselbeck said. "I would hope so. One of the things, when you come back early from an injury when you really shouldn't probably, you add on some healing time. You probably have accrued some other nagging things. That's probably the case, but I hope I can get there."

Well, is it a holding pattern or improving? Does Hasselbeck feel any better this week compared to a week ago?

"I feel a little bit better, probably, to similar," Hasselbeck said. "It's week to week. I can't lie."

But this week has been the equivalent of a visit to the psychologist's for the Seahawks with their coach talking about accountability and strong people being competitors in the face of adversity.

Coach Jim Mora made that statement after Sunday's 21-point loss in Dallas, he reiterated it the next day and on Tuesday the Seahawks announced three roster subtractions.

Message sent?

"Those of us who have been around, you know that roster moves are going to happen after you start like we've started," quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said. "He had said it plain out, that we're going to make some changes, we're going to do some evaluating and he did. His words weren't hollow. They definitely did it. He backed it up."

There wasn't the need to say too much else, Hasselbeck said.

"We didn't do a lot of talking Monday," Hasselbeck said. "We did a lot of talking on Sunday. Starting Monday this week, it has really just been back to work, just kind of getting after it, do you're talking on the field type of thing. There definitely is a different attitude this week in terms of a sense of urgency."

So was it a wake-up call? Not really. Just an attempt to change things up.

"If you keep doing the same old, if you keep on doing what you've been doing, you're going to get the same result," Hasselbeck said. "After Sunday, after the way things went Sunday, everyone just sort of got the message that we've got to look at this thing from all angles and pick it up. I think we've started to do that. We're still fighting some things, but all in all, we're working harder if that's even possible. We're working harder and trying to do whatever it takes."
