Harbaugh confident in Zvada

Zvada's recent misses

Giants rookie kicker Dominic Zvada missed six field goals in nine games, including a 33-yarder on Thursday night.

Harbaugh's confidence

After New York’s 24-21 loss to the Commanders, Giants coach John Harbaugh expressed confidence in Zvada’s ability to become a good NFL kicker.

Harbaugh's statement

Harbaugh said, 'Yeah, we’re confident. You know, you can’t, as soon as a guy doesn’t make a play, I mean, start firing people left and right. Especially your kicker who’s a rookie.'

“Yeah, we’re confident,” Harbaugh said. “You know, you can’t, as soon as a guy doesn’t make a play, I mean, start firing people left and right. Especially your kicker who’s a rookie.”

Harbaugh's reassurance

Harbaugh emphasized Zvada will not be panicked over missed kicks, saying he will make 'a lot of kicks' and is 'really good, really talented.'

Zvada's challenge

A kicker must make field goals, especially from distances that should be automatic, or tough questions will arise.

What happens next

Zvada’s future with the Giants depends on whether he continues to miss field goals or improves his accuracy.
