ETA: Love was not good. Bless his heart for working hard, staying out of trouble, and sticking in until the end, but he was a liability his entire career. Using him as a fine example of PT is not a good one. Clausell, yes. Love, no.

I thought that a light this bright could not be buried in a thread and thus deserving of its own vote. So what say ye? Redmond Love sux?

Love won his fair share..............

of battles. Got victimized some too. You could say the same for all CBs. Heck, Banks got torched more than a few times.

Love was a serviceable CB that had a solid career. So no, he wasn't a liability that sucked for 4 years.

You've got to be kidding me with this ****. Really?

Love was fast but lacked technique. Every time he was stuck on a receiver who was skilled at running routes he get juked and gave up wide open catches. And I still don't fully understand the absolute love fest with Redmond. I'm not cheering for him to lose his job, but everyone here saying its automatic he'll get drafted is seeing something I'm not. Or you are all wearing maroon glasses.

As far as Townsend, I'm perfectly fine with him. But I don't think he's the best recruiter or position coach on the planet. Guys like Calhoun have seemed to regress.

I have to agree his ball skills were

Below average. He was often in great position but didn't make the play.

I must have missed those plays. Actually I didn't see people throw Love's way other than deep seam routes. But every other SEC team struggles with that.

But I stand to be corrected.

Love is like oxygen...get too much you get too high.

Not enough, and you're gonna die.

I watched the defensive series of the Kentucky, Arkansas, Bama, and TSUN games. Here's Love's performance:

UK: 2 catches allowed, 2 PBU
UPigg: 0 catches, 3 PBU
Bama: 1 catch, 3 Pass Def. (shut down Amari Cooper)
TSUN: 0 catches, 1 Pass Def. (left in 1st Qtr, returned at the half)

So, where is this juke-out you speak of? Small sample size I know. Should I look at the Tenn-Martin film? the Vandy film, the Orange Bowl film? Teams threw to Calhoun's side over 75% of the time. Even when Love was at nickel corner, nobody threw at him.

Oh, by the way, every catch that he allowed in those games were within 5 yards of the LOS.

Say it loud, say it proud: "Love Stinks! Yeah, yeah!"**

Based on these stats, I have to ask, what's love got to do with it.

God dammit I searched the whole thread to see if someone had gotten to this one before I posted it. Well played

Also—

When Love is gone, WHERE DOES IT GO? (And where do we go...)
