Jordan Kovacs Gets Some Air
Jordan Kovacs, the walk-on that got PT some two years ago when these things happened and were created to reflect the poor standing of Michigan’s defensive backfield, is making plays as if he’s the best player on this 2011 version of a Michigan defense. Kovacs leads the team in tackles with 26, has 2 sacks for -16 yards, has one interception, one PBU, and one forced fumble that led to Herron’s second TD against Western Michigan in the opener. That’s the beginning of a stat line you’d most often associate with an impact player.
In the first quarter of last Saturday’s game against Eastern, Michigan’s defense faced some early, yet no so worrisome, adversity. Eastern dialed up some plays to gash Michigan’s front seven and navigate their way around the edges and faced a 4th and 1 from Michigan’s one yard line. I didn’t pick up on this until after the game when I was checking out some highlights. But Jordan Kovacs made the play – and it was a great one.
So, to the bottom or right side of Michigan’s D, you’ve got JT Floyd on the edge and Jordan Kovacs just inside of him.
Kovacs makes his way towards the action unblocked.
Cruising in.
Almost time to depart for the ball carrier.
Kovacs then subconsciously says “Look at meeeeeee! I be all twistin and flyin and tacklin!”
And the Big House says “we’ll take it!” Turnover on downs from Michigan’s leading tackler through three games.
And to see the play. Roll the tape.
I have a picture of that from the other endzone on my blog. I didn't see Kovacs come around unblocked.
Nice. Your blog is great by the way. I'm always grabbing some pics and sending them to some of my family that lives up that way. Really cool stuff.
If you don't mind me asking – what kind of camera do you use? I need a new one, and have toyed with getting a nice one and investing in a good lens, but haven't done much research yet…
ken. what is your blog? Jordan is my nephew and I would love to see that pic from the other side

I have a Canon 50D but I think they have the 60D now. That is a midgrade camera. There is also the Canon 7D which I think its a little bit above mine. But I think the standard for pros is the Canon 5D Mark II but that was way more than I wanted to pay. The consumer ones are the Rebels. I really need to get a better big lens though. But before I recommend an SLR to someone, I always ask what you want to do with it. If you want to be serious about photography, by all means get one…..If not….get one of the higher end point and shoots.
I posted a more thorough answer to your question on my blog.
Ok cool. On my way there to check it out.. much appreciated.
I saw your post. If you have any other questions let me know. But like I said, you have to answer the first question of what you intend to do.
