Can we have our lockers back?
Steelers center Jeff Hartings and No. 3 quarterback Charlie Batch have their old lockers at the Pontiac Silverdome, where the Steelers will practice this week. Both were with the Lions when they played in the old dome before moving to Ford Field.

Steelers director of football operations Kevin Colbert said Hartings and Batch made the request.

“Those guys are finding that they’re more at home being back in that room and back where they were,” Colbert said.

Hire me
Seahawks offensive coordinator Gil Haskell would love to become an NFL coach someday. But nobody has called. Though coach Mike Holmgren openly lobbied for Haskell, saying the longtime assistant deserved a shot, his phone has been silent.

Haskell has been in the NFL for 23 years and with the Seahawks for six.

“Mike pushed it and I appreciate that,” Haskell said. “I’ve always wanted the opportunity. I’d love to.”

Get into the Groove
Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is eager to get back onto the practice field. Hasselbeck said the 70-minute walkthrough Monday wasn’t very good, and he is looking forward to getting back into a routine.

“Monday we were not ourselves it wasn’t a very good practice,” he said Tuesday, an off-day because of media events. “We have to get back to our play book, study our notes. I expect us to have a great practice tomorrow.”
