Baltimore Ravens guard Kevin Zeitler has been one of the few players that hasn’t missed a game this season. He has been a steady player at right guard, giving the team a veteran presence.
When asked how he felt about head coach John Harbaugh having a conversation with the players before deciding to go for a two point conversion at the end of the team’s Week 15 game against the Green Bay Packers, Zeitler said that he loved it.
“I love it. He has faith in us, and we have faith in him. I never overthink. I love going for two points when the game is on the line like that. I have faith in our team that we can get it done. Unfortunately, it didn’t go that way this week, but if we do it again, I’d do it again.”
Just knowing that the head coach is so open with the team about decisions is one of many reasons why Baltimore is lauded as one of the best organizations in the NFL. It means that the communication between the coaching staff and the players is top-notch and that’s a good thing for any franchise. Harbaugh is one that hasn’t lost the locker room.
