Its been a while since Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas felt this good.Thomas and fellow Legion of Boom members Richard Sherman and Jeremy Lane are healthy heading into their opener against Miami on Sunday. Unlike last year, they didnt have to spend much of their summer rehabbing from injuries.Also last year, Kam Chancellor was in the midst of a holdout that didnt end until hed missed the first two games.You know, having Kam back healthy in mind and body, its very important to our defense, Thomas told The Associated Press while discussing his new investment partnership with Chefs Cut Real Jerky. We need to be strong where we are strong and having Kam back with a clear conscience, it helps us out a lot.Thomas said Seattles secondary and the Seahawks defense as a whole is miles ahead of where it was a year ago at this time.Of course, when you look at the whole picture, Kam wasnt there to run it all. A lot of guys were fighting battles with issues that needed to be cleared up, Thomas said. So, now you just see people have their fire back and thats just fun to be around.After back-to-back Super Bowl trips, the Seahawks were beaten by Carolina in the playoffs last year.Its also enjoyable to be a Longhorn again, Thomas said.Texas, Thomas alma mater, is ranked for the first time under coach Charlie Strong , coming in at No. 11 in the latest AP Top 25 after a rousing opening victory against Notre Dame.The last time the Longhorns were ranked was November 2013, Mack Browns last season as coach.I think college football fans around the world respect what we do in Texas, Thomas said. They might not have been for the past couple of years. But everybody in the world knows what were capable of and when we pull out a win like that, it gives everybody that same taste of what great Longhorns do. We produce greatness.Its a great time to be a Longhorn, man.And a member of the Seahawks, who have posted double-digit wins in each of the last four seasons under coach Pete Carrol.

Worcester have announced that rugby director Dean Ryan has left the Aviva Premiership club.The Warriors said that Ryan has been released from his contract and will leave his post immediately.Ryans exit comes barely two months before the new Premiership season starts.Worcester said that their senior management team will consist of head coach Carl Hogg and high performance director Nick Johnston, who will both report to club chief executive Jim OToole.Hogg will retain responsibility for the first-team squad, with Johnston continuing his work with the academy, medical, sports science and player welfare departments at Sixways.Worcester, with Ryan at the helm, have made a number of new signings in readiness for next term, including England squad centre Ben Teo from Leinster.Recent media speculation suggested that 50-year-old Ryan had been unhappy with finances made available in terms of Warriors playing budget.Ryan joined Worcester in May 2013, and although the Warriors were relegated a year later, they regained Premiership status at the first attempt and retained a top-flight position last term.The former England number eight, meanwhile, has been strongly linked to the top job at Bath, which has been vacant since Mike Fords departure from tthe Recreation Ground.ddddddddddddOToole said: We are very sorry to see Dean move on from Sixways.He has been instrumental in developing and putting in place our long-term plan, and we have been delighted with our progress and the momentum we have built up over the last three years.Dean has also helped to build a team around him who are ready to step up to the next level and build on that progress.For the first time in Warriors history we have an active succession plan which has already kicked-in.We are an ambitious club with sights on the top six places in the Premiership and the Champions Cup.In a statement announcing Ryans exit, the club added: The Warriors board has committed to a 25 percent increase in the rugby budget for the 2016-17 season.And it is following a long-term strategy based on the development of a solid base of English-qualified players via an annual ￡500,000 investment in the academy, a ￡500,000 academy house, a ￡3.5million investment in top-class facilities and infrastructure and the commitment to spending to the Premiership salary cap to make the current squad as competitive as possible.
