Arizona Cardinals captain pleased about return of Nick Rallis

· Yahoo Sports

The Arizona Cardinals somewhat surprisingly decided to retain Nick Rallis as defensive coordinator. That has been met by mixed responses from fans. However, a captain on the Cardinals appears pleased that Rallis will return to lead the defense.

Linebacker Mack Wilson posted this on his Twitter/X account this past week after the report that Rallis was being retained.

It is a photo of Wilson with Rallis, captioned "Unfinished business."

Wilson became the Cardinals' starting "Mike" linebacker last season. He was ateam captain for the first time. And he had his season cut short after only eight games, suffering a rib injury at the end of the Cardinals' final win of the year, a 27-17 over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.

Wilson didn't play again, and the Cardinals never won again. Over the nine games Wilson missed, the Cardinals allowed over 30 six times.

By retaining Rallis, it makes it much more likely that much of the personnel on defense will be the same. Wilson enters the final year of his three-year contract with no guarantees remaining. A new coordinator might have prompted signing a new linebacker and cutting Wilson. We should likely expect Wilson to return to his role of defensive leader, relaying playcalls to the defense and manning the middle of the field.
