In the Patriots 3-4 alignment, they presented offensive lines with two big, athletic players who could hold two gaps.</p><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left; ">Love and Wilfork played well off of one another. When teams had to choose one of the two defensive tackles to double team, the easy choice may have been Wilfork – but Love would make them pay with his ability to win at the point of attack and disengage from blockers with his hands. In 2011, Love finished with 33 tackles (20 solo) and three sacks.</p><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left; ">But, for the most part, you will not see what Love does on a stat sheet. As the locals would say, he’s a “dirt dog,” a blue-collar player who does his job and won’t get many thanks for it. He’s disciplined, plays within the system and has made the defensive line the strength of the Pats D.</p></div>

In this article in today’s Herald, Mark Daniels discusses with Love his motivation and why he wears an off-white bracelet that reads “Nick Bell #36” in red lettering. That’s honoring an old college teammate, who died in November 2010 after battling cancer. The two played two years together for the Bulldogs and grew close.</p>

“He means a lot. I played a couple seasons with him so he was kind of like a little brother to me,” Love told Daniels this week. “And last year when I found out during the season it hit me hard. Just something I have to deal with. I wear a Nick Bell wristband. I haven’t taken it off since. I dedicated this season to him so I’m trying to play the best I can for him.”</p>

It is not easy doing what Love has done, working his way up from unwanted to being an every-down starter. There are down times.</p>

“Whenever times get rough I just think about him (Bell) and what he accomplished and what he fought through,” said Love. “I just look at the wristband and it keeps me goin</p>
