RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle coach Jim Mora remains angry over the way an Arizona defender treated quarterback Matt Hasselbeck during a loss to the Cardinals.

And he says maybe his own players should treat opposing quarterbacks in the same way if the referees aren't going to deem such play illegal.

Darnell Dockett pressed his forearm into Hasselbeck's throat following a sack by Cardinals linebacker Clark Haggans in the second quarter of Sunday's game. Hasselbeck got up holding his neck, but referee Walt Coleman did not throw a flag.

Mora says that play is "something I'd like to hear back on" from the league office.

He added that if officials aren't going to call a penalty for such an act, "I'd like to see our guys do it to their quarterback."
