I thought it was an impressive showing by the Cardinals. They were a little sloppy with the penalties and had a couple of defensive breakdowns, but, overall, very solid. A few takes from this one:

1) PT is talented and athletic and there running game is legit. They have a QB that can throw it okay, but, mainly shorter, quicker routes and they really aren't able to spread the defense out to open up the run, which could really help that run game. There OL is better than given credit for. Defensively, they have a decent DL and a very good LB group. They have good athleticism and speed in the secondary, but, have to improve there cover skills. They're a legit Top 6 to 10 3a team, capable of beating anyone on a given night, but, I think getting to the semi's is about a cap for them.

2) Mayfield's Stinson is a great HS QB. He is as accurate as any QB I've seen at this level , can make all the throws and they have 3 or 4 WRs that flat out make plays. As good as that air attack is, they have a legit running game, as well. Galbreath isn't very big, but, is fast and runs with more power and determination that you'd expect. Throw in Jackson at 6'1 220 who can take over a game late with a power running game and you've got a 2 headed monster. Then you have Haliburton, who started at RB 2 years ago, who can also give you quality play back there. When you have that kind of depth, balance and playmakers with crisp and precise execution, it's a tough match up and load for anyone. There defense is still a work in progress. They have some breakdowns and miss some tackles, but, it seems every game, that defense gets better and better as the games wear on. It'll take a great team playing at a very high level to knock these guys off.
