TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals have made it as clear as the desert sky. Anything short of a Super Bowl will be disappointment.Everybody truly believes that we can be champions, defensive tackle Calais Campbell said.The starters barely played a half combined in the preseason, and this is a team that knows its good as long as Carson Palmer stays healthy and Tyrann Mathieu returns strong from a torn ACL.Im pretty sure I know what they can do, coach Bruce Arians said, explaining why the starters played so little this preseason. Its just a matter of getting them all there to that first game.Every player who scored a point or gained a yard on an offense that led the NFL with 408.3 yards per game is back. The right side of the offensive line is new, with veteran Evan Mathis at right guard and young D.J. Humphries.The Cardinals are 34-14 in Arians three years in Arizona. Last seasons 13-3 mark was second best in the NFC. But it ended badly, a blowout loss at Carolina in the NFC championship game, a performance that left open the question whether Palmer can win the big game.Here are some things to look for before the Cardinals open their season Sunday night at home against the Patriots.DEFENSIVE BOOST: The Cardinals biggest problem a year ago was generating a pass rush without blitzing. That has been addressed with the acquisition of outside linebacker Chandler Jones.Jones had a career-high 12 1-2 sacks for the Patriots last season, earning his first appearance in the Pro Bowl. With second-year pro Marcus Golden, who came on strong through last season, at the other linebacker spot, with Alex Okafor as a backup, the Cardinals are confident they can finally mount a pass rush off the edge.They should be better on the defensive front, too. Arizona kept nine defensive linemen, featuring Campbell, Rodney Gunter, Corey Peter, Xavier Williams, Frostee Rucker and first-round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche.PLAYMAKER HEAVEN: The Cardinals are loaded with people who can make the big plays Arians offense features. Larry Fitzgerald is back for his 13th NFL season. Fitzgerald, who just turned 33, caught 109 passes last year for 1,215 yards, breaking the franchise record he set a decade earlier. John Brown topped 1,000 yards receiving, too, and after being sidelined with a concussion most of the preseason, he is expected to be ready for the opener. Michael Floyd returns in a contract year, another big receiver adept at coming down with those 50-50 balls. Jaron Brown, the forgotten player in this talented group, may have had the best training camp of any Cardinal. And J.J. Nelson adds even more speed.CORNERBACK QUESTIONS: The only unsettled position is at cornerback opposite All-Pro Patrick Peterson. Free agent signee Mike Jenkins had a chance to win the job but broke a bone in his hand in training camp, then went down with a season-ending knee injury.Rookie Brandon Williams has the raw talent, but played the position only one season in college and struggled in the preseason. Justin Bethel is coming off foot surgery and Arians says Bethel, a three-time Pro Bowl player on special teams, will have to play with pain all season.Arizona added some veteran depth at the position by acquiring Marcus Cooper from Kanas City last week.RUNNING WILD: Second-year pro David Johnson exhibited a rare combination of power, evasiveness and speed as a rookie. He was dominant when he started the final five games of the season after Chris Johnson went down with a knee injury.The hype for David Johnson this year is sky high.Im definitely ready, he said, being smarter, getting in the training room, getting smarter in my nutrition and staying healthy. I feel like Im ready to take on the load.Chris Johnson is back and says hes in far better shape than a year ago, when he got a late start after recovering from a gunshot wound. Andre Ellington is finally healthy, too, and provides another big-play threat.BADGERS BACK: Do-everything defensive back Mathieu, with a big new contract, has returned from his second knee surgery in three seasons. He didnt play in any preseason games and will play with a brace on his knee, albeit a much smaller one than he had to wear two years ago.Mathieu is the fiery heart of the defense, not just for his playing ability but for his emotional edge that rubs off on teammates. Asked how much the Badger will be able to play in the opener, Arians said, every down.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vic Davalillo Jersey .

Champion jockey Damien Oliver will miss the heart of the spring racing carnival including the Cox Plate and Victoria Derby day after failing to overturn a reckless riding ban.A disappointed Oliver will miss key race meetings worth $11.6 million in prize money, but can return on Melbourne Cup day.The Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board on Friday upheld Olivers 20-meeting suspension for reckless riding on eventual winner Flying Arlie in Wednesdays Blue Sapphire Stakes at Caulfield.Stewards said Oliver came from behind eventual runner-up Dalradian at the 700m mark and made heavy contact with Kens Dream, causing that horse to be hampered and his jockey Dean Yendall to become unbalanced.Judge John Bowman said the bump was significant and the RAD board was satisfied Olivers move was deliberate.We are comfortably satisfied and indeed have no doubt that the move by Mr Oliver was intentional, Bowman said.Olivers solicitor Peter Jurkovsky had tried to have the suspension reduced to 17 meetings to allow Oliver to ride on Derby Day., October 29.That would have reduced the $11.6 million in prize money being missed by Oliver to $6.7 million, he said.Oliver did not believe his ride was reckless, saying he anticipated Blake Shinn on Dalradian would go to the fence after the jockey twice looked to cross him.I felt there was going to be some contact with Dean Yendalll but I felt it was going to be minimal, he told the board.ddddddddddddHe acknowledged there had been significant contact, more than what he expected, due to the overreaction of his horse coming out.Oliver said he was disappointed the reckless riding charge was sustained.I felt I certainly wasnt riding in a reckless manner, he told reporters.My record proves over a long period of time that thats not the case.The suspension means Oliver will miss the ride on French horse Vadamos in the Cox Plate on October 22 and English in the Manikato Stakes the night before.He would also be expected to have a full book for the Derby day meeting on October 29.Racing Victoria chief steward Terry Bailey said his panel considered the lesser charge of careless riding but believed the incident qualified as reckless riding given the manner in which Oliver came out and the heavy contact that was made.In our view thats not the standard of racing that ought to be condoned, he told the three-member board.Olivers ban begins after the Caulfield Cup meeting on Saturday when he rides Exospheric for Lee and Anthony Freedman in the main race.It ends in time for Melbourne Cup day although Oliver said he did not yet have a confirmed ride in the big race.
