GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jameis Winston traces his motivation to win an NFL championship all the way back to when he attended a football camp at age 11 or 12 and Bruce Arians was there.At the camp he brought his Pittsburgh Steelers (Super Bowl) ring and showed all of us, Winston said, and that was one of the first times when I was just like, `Man, I want to get me one of those rings.Arians has two of those rings from his years as an assistant coach with the Steelers. His quest to win one as a head coach hit a speed bump when his Arizona Cardinals lost their season opener at home against the New England Patriots 23-21.Now he must face Winstons Tampa Bay Buccaneers , with the second-year quarterback coming off one of his best games in a 31-24 season-opening win at Atlanta.Winston completed 23 of 33 passes for 281 yards and four touchdowns, a performance that earned NFC offensive player of the week honors. His 122.6 passer rating was third best on opening weekend, behind Drew Brees (131.3) and Matthew Stafford (128.6).Back at that camp, even at such a young age, Winston made an impression.Just a tremendous athlete, Arians said. A very bright guy, but with a cannon for an arm. He was probably throwing 90 miles an hour fastballs back then in the ninth, 10th grade.So the Cardinals are well aware of the young players talent, and of the talent the up-and-coming Buccaneers have around him, including running back Doug Martin and wide receiver Mike Evans.The Buccaneers are a physical football team, Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu said. Theyre going to run the ball down our throat, and we feel like they have a really good quarterback that can make every throw. Were going to get challenged up front and on the back end.Some things to consider when the Buccaneers face the Cardinals on Sunday.RETURN TO THE DESERT: Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter knows the Arizona desert all too well. The Bucs first-year coach was head coach at Arizona State from 2001-2006, compiling a 40-34 record over six seasons. He was fired at the end of the regular season, but was allowed to coach the Sun Devils in the Hawaii Bowl, where they lost to Hawaii to finish his final season there at 7-6.What are his memories of those days?Distant, Koetter said. Its been 10 years.Obviously, everywhere you work you come across some awesome people and have a lot of appreciation for the players, the coaches, the people that worked with us there. Ultimately, under my regime, we didnt get it done. That was 10 years ago and now its a different time.The year after Koetter left, the Sun Devils went 10-3 and tied for the Pac-12 title under Dennis Erickson with a team composed mostly of Koetters players.DEFENSE DILEMMA: Often last season, the Cardinals put All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson on an opponents best receiver the entire game, a tactic that worked well.But Arizona did not play that way against New England, using a lot of zone to help out rookie cornerback Brandon Williams, who still struggled. So dont expect to see Peterson exclusively on Evans on Sunday.Well see, Arians said. They have two good ones (Evans and Vincent Jackson) and theyre both tall. Well see if we want to match up or well see if we want to just play sides.IN SHAPE: Winston credits a trip to the Pro Bowl as a rookie last season for his newly sculpted physique.I saw Julio Jones walking around, Julius Peppers, all those guys like that, he said. I was like, `Yep, its time for me to hit the weight room. But Koetter said its incorrect to say Winston lost weight.That whole dropped-the-weight thing is blown a little bit out of proportion, Koetter said. ... Hes still a 230-pound quarterback. He just redistributed his body. `GROUND ADVANTAGE: Two of the top young, versatile running backs in the NFL will be on display at University of Phoenix Stadium. Both Tampa Bays Martin and Arizonas David Johnson are threats not only carrying the ball but catching it.In the season opener, Martin rushed for 62 yards on 18 carries and caught five passes for 34 yards. Johnson gained 89 yards on 16 attempts and caught four for 43 yards.THIRD DOWNS: The Buccaneers and Cardinals had the opposite results in third-down defense last Sunday. Atlanta was 3 of 13 against Tampa Bay. New England was 10 of 16 against the Cardinals.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Basketball Jerseys .

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- For Kim Anderson and the Missouri Tigers, this season is all about building for the future.Last season, the Tigers self-imposed a two-year postseason ban in light of recruiting violations that occurred under former coach Frank Haith.Not surprisingly, attrition followed and Missouri lost three players during the season. Martavian Payne left for undisclosed academic reasons, Wes Clark, who was the teams second-leading scorer at the time, was dismissed for academic violations and DAngelo Allen announced his intention to transfer with just two games left.The Tigers lost an additional four players during the offseason. Fan favorite Ryan Rosburg graduated in May and three others transferred: Jakeenan Gant, Tramaine Isabell and Namon Wright, who led the team in 3-pointers last season.Those who remain seem to have fully bought in to Andersons system, including sophomore point guard Terrence Phillips.Im very excited to get the season going, Phillips said. This is a new year. I tweeted before, this is new faces, new vibes, new energy. What happened last year, that happened last year, so this is a new day. A new start.This summer, Phillips was named chair of the Southeastern Conferences Mens Basketball Leadership Council, an honor his conference peers voted for.Hes been a leader by example, Anderson said of Phillips. Hes been a guy whos been in the gym working. Hes been a guy whos talked to the guys. I think he is a leader. I think we have several candidates for leadership. I think hes kind of a natural because he was a leader a year ago even as a freshman.For the second consecutive season, the Tigers are picked to finish last in the SEC. A 14th place finish from last year still lingers in the minds of those players.Were trying to redeem ourselves from last year, sophomore Kevin Puryear said. Im glad to have a nnew group of freshmen in and just a new vibe; a new energy.ddddddddddddI think were just ready to get the season rolling...were ready to speed up this process of practice and get better every day and start playing some games.Here are some things to watch for this season:MAMBO ITALIANOMissouri spent 10 days in Italy this August, visiting sites like Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan. The Tigers played a total of four exhibition games, compiling a record of 3-1. Anderson said the experience abroad helped foster team chemistry and better defined player roles.HALFWAY THEREIn 2015, the Missouri set a very predictable trend. The Tigers were a perfect 10-0 when leading at halftime, and a dismal 0-21 when trailing at halftime.ROAD STRUGGLESMissouri has not won a road game since Jan. 28, 2014, when the Tigers won at Arkansas 75-71. The Tigers are also just 1-7 in neutral site games in the last two seasons.LONE SENIORForward Russell Woods is the only senior on the 15-man roster. The Chicago native made six starts and averaged almost three points and three rebounds in 13 minutes per game.Russ has made the most improvement, on and off the floor, of everybody, Anderson said. Now, having said that, we need him to play.STARTING LINEUPThanks to youth, injury and attrition, 10 different players started for Missouri over the course of last season. Four freshmen made a total of 72 starts and accounted for over 40 percent of the teams scoring. As the season approaches, Anderson is taking his time approaching the issue of starters.I prefer not to worry about starters, Anderson said. I just more am worried about players. I think theres a learning curve for a freshman, but I really see 10 or 11 guys that can start.
