GLENDALE, Ariz. -- All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson arrived at training camp via helicopter , a grand entrance befitting a team with great expectations.With nearly everyone back from a 13-3 season -- a journey immortalized in the acclaimed All or Nothing video series -- the team is embracing the idea that it should be a top contender for 2016.When players reported for camp Thursday, there were a couple of pieces of news. All-Pro defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, returning from knee surgery, said he expects to be practicing in maybe three weeks or so. And first-round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche is sidelined with a sprained ankle and is listed as day to day.Coach Bruce Arians said the veterans who reported Thursday easily passed the conditioning test. The first practice will be Friday in the air conditioned confines of University of Phoenix Stadium.The goal, Arians said, to nobodys surprise, Win the Super Bowl. Nothing else will be acceptable.It was the goal a year ago, too, and the Cardinals seemed well on their way before a blowout loss at Carolina in the NFC championship game.The expectations havent changed, Arians said, but when you have the type of season we had you expect to do better. So weve got to do better. Weve got to get back to where we were first, and then do better.The Arizona roster has been bolstered, most notably by the addition of outside linebacker Chandler Jones in a trade with New England. The Cardinals also signed veteran right guard Evan Mathis and drafted the big defensive lineman Nkemdiche.Arians said Nkemdiche sprained an ankle in the first day of rookie camp Tuesday.You never know with those things, Arians said. Each day youve got to find out about them.Mathieu, the fiery heart of the Arizona defense, is coming off his second knee surgery in his three NFL seasons. This one, while not as serious as the first, involved repairing a torn right ACL. He begins camp on the physically unable to perform list but has tweeted that he didnt expect to be there long.Thats me being optimistic, he said Thursday, me seeing the progress that Ive been making the last eight or so months. Im extremely confident. If coach wanted me to do some drills today I probably could do them.The Cardinals return every player who gained a yard or scored a point for their highly prolific offense a year ago.Its led to a feeling from those outside the organization that these Cardinals might be the team to beat in the NFC.Thats great, Arians said. Thats nice. It helps solidify what youre telling them. Youve obviously earned the right now to be considered a good football team, somebody that theyre picking in the top five or six. Now its your job to show up and do it.There will be competition in camp, particularly at safety and for the cornerback spot opposite Peterson. A leading candidate for the latter, Justin Bethel, had a minor setback a few weeks ago in his comeback from foot surgery and begins camp on the physically unable to perform list.A.Q. Shipley is holding down the center spot for now, with Earl Watford able to play that or any other position along the offensive line. But Arians indicated rookie center Evan Boehm has a way to go.Theres too much volume for him there to learn, plus the techniques, Arians said. Hes going to be a hell of a player, but it aint going to be next week.The All or Nothing series by NFL Films, available on Amazon, has made the team and its many personalities familiar to fans across the country, which should lead to closer scrutiny once play begins.That turned out really well for all the organization, Arians said. The one thing that I thought that it showed the most was how close this group is -- from ownership all the way down -- and that everybody in that locker room has each others back. That was the best message coming from that.Several top players are entering the final year of their contracts, among them Mathieu, Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Calais Campbell. Mathieus is expected to be the first to be addressed.I love it when you have that many guys with contract years, Arians said. Theyre going to be doing everything they can to impress us and everybody else.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLVapormax Ireland Outlet .

Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set.Wallabies vice-captain Michael Hooper denies he had a point to prove to doubters of the Pooper back-row combination in Saturday nights win over South Africa.Hooper was man-of-the-match in the 23-17 victory, which ended a run of six consecutive Test defeats for Australia.He ripped through 13 tackles - more than any other player on the park - while also seizing two turnovers in a tireless 80-minute shift.It came on the back of two weeks of intense debate over whether Australia should continue with Hooper and David Pocock as dual opensides, or dump one of them to the bench and revert to a more traditional back-row structure.While Pocock was subdued by his usual high standards, the strength of Hoopers performance suggested theres still plenty of value in the current set-up, but he said the external chatter around his position did not motivate him.I think whats important for each individual in the situation we were in is to try and do your role, he said.The coaches pick you to try and pput what he sees (as) your strengths out on the field and do that as much as possible.ddddddddddddI didnt have a point to prove - what I wanted to show myself and the staff that you can do the role.I thought 1-15 did that, certainly for the majority of the game.The Wallabies will find out just how genuine their resurgence is when they face Argentina in the Rugby Championships fourth round in Perth this weekend.The Pumas copped a heavy defeat to the All Blacks on Saturday but took the game right to them for the better part of an hour.They came out of the blocks hard and weve started slow in all our games this year so thats certainly something we need to rectify, he said.Theyre good around the field, their offload plays brilliant.We dont play them too much, its a different style, something were getting more used to but not something were fully across yet.
