In Sports Illustrated's Monday Morning Quarterback, Peter King says that there is a new stronger and leaner Matt Hasselbeck returning to the Seahawks:

"Matt Hasselbeck is working out twice a day on vacation. That's a good sign. Last year, Seattle's season went down the drain when Hasselbeck's back acted up in the summer and never settled down. Now he's got [Athletes' Performance's Ken] Croner with him at his family vacation home in central Washington, on the Columbia River, and Croner's putting him through the kind of two-a-days that should serve him well.

This is the fourth year Croner has worked with Hasselbeck, who turns 34 in September, and the trainer said Friday, "He looks by far the best he's ever looked since I've been with him.''

Peter also weighed in on the possibility of a Brett Favre return:

"I do find it interesting he hasn't worked out with his friend from Athletes' Performance Institute, Ken Croner or, apparently, with any personal trainer for any length of time this offseason. Croner got him ready for a physically strong season two years ago. Last year, without doing much in the offseason, Favre was spent by December."
