Hasselbeck said today during a the Seahawks press conference that he quote "couldn’t breath" and that was easy to see right after he suffered the hit. Now rewind to April 25 in New York City when the Seahawks had the fourth overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft. There had been reports that the Seahawks would be drafting QB Matt Stafford or Mark Sanchez as well as LB Aaron Curry or WR Michael Crabtree.
