GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals are holding a couple of outdoor practices, then are going to do what many desert dwellers do this sweltering time of year -- head to San Diego.The training camp usually is held in the air-conditioned comfort of University of Phoenix Stadium. But a Guns NRoses concert forced the team outside for morning practices on Sunday and Monday.After that, its on to San Diego for joint practices with the Chargers on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Arizona and San Diego meet in a preseason game on Friday night.Mike (Chargers coach Mike McCoy) and I have talked a bunch of times about doing it together, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. Guys are tired of hitting each other. ... Its a good change of pace for us.Arians didnt seem too concerned about Friday nights 30-10 preseason loss to Oakland. Cardinals starters played one series, with the exception of new starting right tackle D.J. Humprhries and rookie cornerback Brandon Williams, who played to the second quarter.After viewing video of the game, Arians said theres a lot of technique work that needs to be cleaned up with some younger players. But the effort was really good and we need to tackle better.Arians said the starters will get, at most, 16 to 18 plays against the Chargers. He wants the starters to have gone about 50 plays in the preseason before Arizona opens its season at home against New England on Sept. 11.Quarterback Carson Palmer called Friday nights brief stint by the starters a tease that made him want go play longer.Arians said hes in no hurry.Im pretty sure I know what they can do, he said. Its just a matter of getting them all there to that first game.Arians said defensive back Tyrann Mathieu (knee), cornerback Justin Bethel (foot) and defensive lineman Frostee Rucker (foot) -- could come off the physically unable to perform list in the coming week but only for walk-throughs.They will eventually get into individual drills, when theyre ready, Arians said. I can bring them off early, not necessarily because theyre physically ready but to get some mental reps.Arians said hes pleased with the teams overall progress.I think were a little bit further along than weve been in the past, he said. Obviously, our learning curve wasnt as step for our veteran players. The younger players, seeing the vets do it right, they get better exposure on how to do it, so they learn quicker that way.All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson has been tutoring Williams all camp and said the rookie had a solid performance in a tough matchup with the Raiders Amare Cooper.For the most part, I thought he had a very sound game, Peterson said. His technique is getting better, his position as far as engaging the receiver has definitely gotten better. So hes definitely taking the right strides and hes got three more games to learn.Arians singled out the play of tight end Troy Niklas, a second-round draft pick out of Notre Dame in 2014 who has been slowed by injuries his first two seasons.I thought Troy had a heck of a game, Arians said. He put together a great week of practice and it showed up in the game. He continues to push those other two guys (Darren Fells and Jermaine Gresham) for the starting job.Niklas said hes feeling good.I feel a lot more competitive this year, he said.Safety Tony Jefferson is from San Diego and said hes already been besieged by teammates with questions about the best restaurants.Everybodys asking `Oh, where do I go, he said.Jeffersons reply: Just follow my lead and Ill lead you to the promised land.Game notes Gresham sat out Sundays practice with back tightness. ... The Cardinals signed defensive tackle Iosia Iosia (yes, thats his name). Iosia is an undrafted rookie free agent out of West Texas A&M who was released by the Tennessee Titans on May 16.

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Floridas kicking situation was the worst in the Southeastern Conference last season and among the least productive in the country.It was so inadequate that coach Jim McElwain held open tryouts -- in the middle of the season.After two more failed field goal attempts in the regular-season finale against rival Florida State, McElwain declared well get a kicker. And well get a good one.The 25th-ranked Gators may have gotten the best one available.Eddy Pineiro, a sophomore who attended ASA Community College in Miami last season but didnt play football, is expected to dramatically improve Floridas field-goal fortunes this fall. His first opportunity to kick in front of 90,000 will happen Saturday against UMass.Im excited, said Pineiro, who has made a number of 70-yard-plus kicks and put them on YouTube. I think people exaggerate (the pressure). But if you work on the same thing every single day, why cant you do it in a game? ... You should be able to put a blindfold on and kick it because its the same kick every single time. Its muscle memory.Pineiro makes it sound easy: see ball, kick ball.But Florida learned last season just how difficult a task kicking can be.The Gators missed five extra points and 10 field goals in 2015. They made just 7 of 17 field goals, a 41.2 percent success rate that ranked 127th out of 128 teams in the nation. McElwain used three different kickers, including a dental student added to the roster late in the year, but nothing fixed the problem.Seeing them go through those kicking struggles last year was pretty depressing, Pineiro said.McElwain tried just about everything while experienced junior Austin Hardin, who ended up making 5 of 14 attempts, kept struggling. He turned to Jorge Powell, but the walk-on injured a knee trying to make a tackle against LSU and missed the final seven games. That prompted McElwain to open things up to Floridas student body.More than 200 students respoonded to the open call, and dental student Neil MacInnes won the multistage kicking competition.dddddddddddd Still, McElwain stuck with Hardin -- the Gators ended up going for it on fourth down 27 times -- while putting the full recruiting press on Pineiro.Pineiro eventually de-committed from Alabama and enrolled at Florida in January.Hes essentially been Floridas kicker since, even though hes never kicked in a game. Pineiro was a standout soccer player at Miami Sunset High School, so his first real action came in Floridas spring game, where he made all five extra points and three lengthy field goals.I didnt think people were going to scream out my name after an extra point, so that was pretty interesting, said Pineiro, who will wear No. 15, made famous in Gainesville by Tim Tebow.Pineiro wasnt perfect: He hit from 52, 46 and 56 yards, and missed from 53 and 52. He also had nine touchbacks on 10 kickoffs, so McElwain was clearly testing him.The coach hasnt stopped, either.McElwain challenges Pineiro at nearly every practice.Lately hes been putting the whole team around me while Im kicking my field goal, just screaming in my ear, throwing water in my face, trying to get me off-balance and stuff, Pineiro said. So far, Im like 4-for-4 on those, whatever you want to call them, pressure kicks. So hes happy about that.McElwain will be even happier if Pineiro makes them in games, something the Gators rarely did last season.I dont want to sit here and put all these high expectations on him, McElwain said. I mean, the guy hasnt kicked in a game yet, right? And yet all of a sudden, were ready to say this guy is the Golden Toe Award or whatever.At the same time, I do know this: He has the talent to do it, and I love the way he goes about his work.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
