The Seahawks have the best home record in the NFC since 2003 at 34-8, way ahead of Dallas (27-16). But Seattle has just the seventh-best road results during that span at 18-24 and Mike Holmgren continues searching for the reason why.

Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck served as spectator all week during practice. He’ll likely reprise that role Sunday for the Seahawks (1-3). Hasselbeck’s sore right knee hasn’t received clearance to play against Green Bay, meaning that Charlie Frye will likely be the starter against the Packers, coach Mike Holmgren said after practice Friday.

Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck did not practice, and coach Mike Holmgren said it looks like Charlie Frye will play in the game. Hasselbeck’s knee continues to be sore, and Holmgren indicated that it will be a game-time decision whether he could play, but did not seem overly optimistic.

Seneca Wallace was on the field for practice in a limited capacity. Holmgren said it’s unlikely Wallace would be available to start.

In other news, Holmgren indicated that Bobby Engram and Koren Robinson are likely to start at wide receiver.

With the Seattle Seahawks mired at 1-3 and coach Mike Holmgren feeling the need to make some decisions that will both shake up the mindset and get the attention of players, he will make some personnel changes this week when the Seahawks host the Green Bay Packers, themselves losers of three straight.

It appears as if Holmgren will make one change on each side of the ball, with Koren Robinson getting the opportunity to start at split end while Josh Wilson may get more time at cornerback in place of Kelly Jennings.

The Seahawks have had a horrific time at wide receiver this season, and with Deion Branch getting hurt last week - he’s out indefinitely with a heel injury—it opens up an opportunity for somebody else.

Robinson has been unable to practice since…

His predecessor hadn’t missed a start since 1992 with the Green Bay Packers, so don’t expect quarterback Aaron Rodgers to ask out of Sunday’s showdown with the Seahawks at Qwest Field despite a sprained shoulder.

This is Jose. I just thought I would give this entry a catchy title. It is true, the Seahawks special teams coach did play that instrument as a younger man.

DeHaven was asked about the Seahawks return game, and whether he’s getting what he wants out of Michael Bumpus and Josh Wilson.

He chose not to comment in great deal on it nor offer evaluations of individuals, which suggested his dissatisfaction with that part of the Seahawks’ game.

“We’re not doing well enough,” DeHaven said. “We need to be better. We’ve improved game to game but still not enough.”

Bumpus is averaging 9.4 yards per punt return, 14th in the league. Wilson is 24th in kickoff returns with a 23-yard average.

Running back Justin Forsett was signed to Seattle’s practice squad, which consists of eight players signed by the team and one international prospect allotted by the league [José Miguel Romero accurately pointed out it is not an eight-man practice squad for Seattle this season because of the inclusion of Samuel Gutekunst]. Forsett replaces Matt Lawrence. Quarterback Travis Lulay was signed to the practice squad and wide receiver Trent Shelton was replaced.

Forsett was one of the team’s seventh-round draft picks, and made Seattle’s 53-man roster [José pointed out Forsett was one of two second-round picks. Kicker Brandon Coutu was also drafted int he seventh round]. He was released from the roster the second week as Seattle suffered an injury crisis at wide receiver. The Colts signed him and played the next game, but was released by Indianapolis this week.

Lulay was in the Seahawks training camp in 2006. He was signed to play scout-team quarterback with the Seahawks after Seattle was down to one quarterback practicing on Wednesday because of injuries to Matt Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace.

A Seahawks’ defense that allowed only eight pass plays of 40-plus yards last season already has yielded four in the team’s embarrassing 1-3 start. Obviously, that must improve, starting Sunday against the Packers.

Matt Hasselbeck wore a black legging on his right leg and a baseball cap as he watched Wednesday’s practice. Seneca Wallace was out with an injured calf. That left No. 5, Charlie Frye, to make all of the throws for both the first-unit offense and the scout team during Wednesday’s practice.

Here’s some footage from the start of practice with audio commentary from coach Mike Holmgren on his team’s quarterback situation:

Josh Wilson will work more with the first-unit defense this week in practice in place of Kelly Jennings, one of the personnel changes coach Mike Holmgren intimated might be coming this week.

“You’ll see Josh playing some at the corner position,” Holmgren said. “That’s one of the things we’ve maneuvered just a little bit more.”

Wilson, a second-round pick in 2007, began the season as Seattle’s nickelback. He could start at right cornerback in place of Jennings, who suffered a broken rib in the second game of the season and then a concussion after he was on the field for seven plays.

Jennings could still play in nickel packages. At that point he would play right cornerback and Wilson would move to defend an interior receiver.
