RENTON, Wash. -- After a contentious holdout last year that extended two weeks into the regular season, Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor is enjoying football again.Chancellor is smiling and joking with teammates again. Its an aspect of Chancellors personality that wasnt often on display after he returned to the team last season.The presence and the atmosphere is amazing, cornerback DeShawn Shead said of having Chancellor with the team this year in training camp. Everybody is here. That leadership and the brotherhood is connected. You dont feel no missing links.Chancellor missed the first two games of 2015 as the Seahawks went 0-2 without him. However, Chancellors holdout resulted in nothing gained for the star safety and a massive amount of fines for the missed time.He returned to the team and played in 11 regular-season games. An injured tailbone kept him out for three weeks in December. But despite not getting the new contract he desired, Chancellor has managed to turn the page on the contractual front and focus once again on his teammates.Just getting back to where we left off, Chancellor said. We want to get back to being at the top of the division, the conference and getting that ring again. Thats the main focal point and you cant do that unless youre focusing on each other.The Seahawks tried to go about their business without letting Chancellors absence become a distraction. However, it clearly had an effect on the team, both on the field and in the locker room.When hes here and hes around, he affects other people, head coach Pete Carroll said. His toughness, his mentality, his words, his leadership is just exemplary. We dealt with the void is really what I can tell you best, its just great to have him around.Chancellor hauled in an interception during the first day of training camp when a Russell Wilson pass was tipped in the air by tight end Luke Willson. On Day 2, Chancellor watched the offense beat them on a rollout for a big gain. When the offense ran the same play again later in practice, Chancellor read what was coming and jumped the route to force an incompletion on a pass to Doug Baldwin.Chancellor then quickly got in Baldwins face, enthusiastically celebrating while telling Baldwin they couldnt beat him with the same play twice. Its the type of carefree persona that Chancellor seemed to be lacking upon returning to the team last season.Thats what brothers do, you go out there and you have fun, Chancellor said. Whether its exchanging words, hitting each other. Its like boys growing up. You want to beat up on your brother a little bit but its all in fun. Thats just tough love and you want to spread that tough love among the group.Chancellor characterized his 2015 as up and down, which could easily describe the Seahawks season as a whole. After a 2-4 start to the year, Seattle won eight of their final 10 games to earn a wild card spot. In the divisional round, Seattle fell into a 31-0 hole to the Carolina Panthers before scoring 24 straight points to nearly overcome the deficit.Now everything feels normal again. Everyone reported for camp on time and the Seahawks feel strongly about the roster theyve constructed.It feels like the (Super Bowl) 48 year, Chancellor said. It feels like everybody is bringing that intensity, everybody is out to prove something. They may be or may not be, but it just feels that way. The brotherhood is getting even tighter.

Cheap Yeezy Boost 350 For Sale . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Victories at Wake Forest in recent years have been few and -- for the offense, anyway -- forgettable.The Demon Deacons started the season with another one of those on Thursday night.Kendall Hinton ran for a short early touchdown and Wake Forest overcame some offensive struggles and held on for a season-opening 7-3 victory over Tulane.It brought to mind that 6-3, double overtime victory over Virginia Tech in 2014. Or the 3-0 win at Boston College last year.The result is, it looks a lot like the other games weve won here, Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said. Were 1-0, were excited, theres a lot to teach off of, but clearly, we have to be a lot more productive on offense. That was certainly the disappointment of the night. But again, Id rather be coaching those mistakes after being 1-0.Nothing came easy for the Demon Deacons (1-0) against a Tulane team playing its first game under new coach Willie Fritz and breaking in his run-heavy offense that produced the Bowl Subdivisions top rushing team in each of his two seasons at Georgia Southern.Wake Forest managed just 175 total yards -- 59 yards and three first downs in the second half -- yet won a matchup of teams coming off consecutive 3-9 seasons.Obviously, on offense, we werent as productive as we need to be, Clawson said.Tulane (0-1) finished with 280 total yards for the game and held a nearly 10-minute advantage in time of possession.The defense was phenomenal, man, quarterback Glen Cuiellette said. They kept us in the game.The only touchdown came on Hintons 1-yard run on the third play of the second quarter.Andrew DiRocco capped Tulanes opening drive with a 41-yard field goal, but had a 43-yarder blocked early in the fourth quarter. That loomed large late because Tulane came up empty on its final two possessions: The Green Wave were stopped inside the Wake Forest red zone with 4:22 left, and got the ball back before Julian Jones stripped Cuiellette on fourth down near midfield with 50 seconds left.TAKEAWAYSTULANE: The Green Wave rode their new option game as hard as expected and out of a range of formations, including out of an I in the shotgun. Tulane had 47 carries to 23 pass attempts, with none of the four running backs in the rotation carrrying it more than seven times, while Cuiellette added 54 yards rushing in his first college start at QB.ddddddddddddI felt comfortable -- honestly, people were texting me, calling me, `Are you nervous, are you good? My mom was like, `Are you OK? Cuiellette said. Overall, I felt fine. I wasnt really nervous. I was just ready to just play and show people what I could do because its been so long. I was just ready to lead these guys.WAKE FOREST: Its only one game, but there are already some huge questions about the offense. To put the Demon Deacons yardage numbers in perspective, they averaged 216.3 yards in 2014 -- when they ranked last in the Bowl Subdivision in total offense. The leading passer -- John Wolford -- was 9 of 17 for just 79 yards, while the leading rusher -- Hinton, his backup -- managed just 24 yards.Its going to be worth watching how Clawson handles his quarterbacks the rest of the year. Wolford started but both he and Hinton played, just as Clawson said they would, with the pocket-passing Wolford even lining up at receiver once while Hinton took the snap. But little seemed to work.They were playing a lot of man coverage and a lot of blitz, and when you do that, youve got to make plays on the outside, Clawson said. I think were really improved at receiver, but we didnt make those plays today. ... (Tulane) won the one-on-ones against our receivers today.KEY NUMBERSWake Forest ran just 26 plays in the second half -- and two of those were kneels by Wolford to end the game. ... The Demon Deacons didnt have a play cover more than 16 yards -- a pass by Wolford to Matt Colburn in the first quarter.UP NEXTTULANE: The Green Wave return home to take on Southern, a Championship Subdivision school from just up Interstate 10 in Baton Rouge.WAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons jump into Atlantic Coast Conference play when they visit instate rival Duke, which they havent beaten since 2011, in their league opener.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
