If Kovacs was hurt, this would be a legitimate question. But asking why he didn't tackle as much?

Well he was wearing a knee

Well he (Kovacs) was wearing a knee brace. However he played the whole game, IIRC.
I'm a little more concerned about Denard's hand. He clearly injured it towards the end of the game.

From the looks of it he just followed through a little too far and clipped his thigh with it. It looked like a stinger more than anything, I wouldn't be worried.

But I watched his follow thru in slo-mo (my wife is right- I'm a geek) and his hand didn't touch his thigh. I'm concerned that he ruptured a tendon or something is strained from earlier contact... No doc

Denard hurt his hand late in
Denard hurt his hand late in
Denard hurt his hand late in the 2nd quarter when he was tackled in the backfield on a failed zone-read play. After the play, he was shaking his hand as he was trotting off the field. I'm assuming that since he was back out there to start the 3rd quarter, there were no broken bones.
October 7th, 2012 at 6:10 PM |
I wouldn't worry about it
I wouldn't worry about it
I wouldn't worry about it. Back in the early 1900's the Cubbies had a pitcher named "Three Finger" Mordecai Brown. Old Mordecai had a deformed right hand that he used to his advantage by developing a nasty curve ball. So Denard should be fine.

Purdue was lacking a vertical
Purdue was lacking a vertical
Purdue was lacking a vertical passing game for the most part, but I was somewhat surprised to see that he wasn't used as a blitzer at all. Probably wasn't brought to the line as a blitzer due to Purdue's scheme in which the ball remains in the QB's hands for a maximum of 2.5 seconds. If he was seriously injured, he wouldn't have been in the game.
October 7th, 2012 at 3:20 PM |

If Purdue actually put up a
If Purdue actually put up a
If Purdue actually put up a consistent offensive attack, this might be a legitimate question. Personally I'm pretty happy if a wideout or running back doesn't make it far enough downfield for the safeties to have to make a tackle. Means the front seven is doing its job.

"...the TV announcers observed he was injured without specifying the extent of his injury."
I'm not convinced that Hoke tells Brandon the specifics of an injury. What are the chances of him letting a BTN announcer in on the details?

FWIW they are reporting that Kovacs is playing through a knee sprain over on Fox Sports Next(I hate the new design over there!!). So, perhaps he was a little slow during the game but was well enough to play and didn't have to tax himself too much.

If we're complaining about Kovacs making one tackle on Saturday, we've clearly forgotten what it was like to watch Obi Ezeh for three straight years at linebacker.
October 7th, 2012 at 5:11 PM |
If Kovacs getting only 1
If Kovacs getting only 1
If Kovacs getting only 1 tackle results in defensive performances where we give up less than 250 yds of offense and win the turnover battle, I will most certainly take it!

Why So Snarky?
Why So Snarky?
Frustrating that there is so much snark on a relatively innocent question. It's not like the OP asked about Kovacs' favorite Care Bear or something irrelevant.
Agreed that it is great that not many plays got into the secondary. But for as many people spend post after post complaining about stupid or pointless topics, there's just as many people that had stupid or pointless responses to the OP. After about the 3rd comment detailing that the lack of safety tackles is a good thing, I think we have it covered.
There is a legitimate outstanding question about Kovacs' condition. The board, with many posters that might have insight they can share seems like an appropriate place for the topic.

wasn't being snarky. I was just pointing out that with his apparent lack of production we had a pretty good defensive performance. I'd prefer to not have to rely on him to make a ton of tackles every game. that's all.
Forget about the curveball Ricky. Give him the heater...
Well he was healthy enough to play. And you're complaining because our safety didn't get a ton of tackles? I would love if our safeties never had to make tackles.
