I think Heyward might be that vocal defensive leader that Legend was talking about.Originally Posted by K Train
Im on the other side of the argument...you cant underestimate what the presence of a true enforcer (Lambert, Lloyd, Harrison) does for the attitude of the entire team. Those players are great in their own right, and they also make everyone around them better. Unfortunately, those types are few and far between, and i dont think there is a way to identify those rare gems coming out of college. What sux about Goodell is his efforts to reduce the impact (both literally and figuratively) of those special players....turning heroes into the bad guys with fines et al.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.
I disagree.. a vocal leader elevates HIS team. He challenges HIS teammates to play better...
He knows how to bring out the fire in certain individuals who may be going through the motions or lacks focus for 60 minutes due to a variety of reasons.
I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"
Can I just get some names? It is fine to have this argument but I just wanted to know of some Steeler type players. I am behind on my knowledge of players this year.
i can only assume that the fans that are saying having a vocal, emotional leader on the field isnt important never have played a competitive sport
steelers = 3 ring circus with tomlin being the head clown
I just don't think it is that easy.
As said (above), Heyward and Pouncey talk smack all the time. That doesn't make you a Peezy or Lloyd. I think Heyward is a good complementary "ass kicker" (the term I've always used for the role), but we do need more in that department (I agree). Guys like that (e.g. Peezy) have an emotional intensity that is just that much higher than others. That's why it isn't so easy to throw out names.
I wasn't hired for my disposition.
True, but that is the NFL so a different type of leader needs to step up. The NFL isn't ever rolling back the clock.
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
If you don't have the skillset to dominate your opponent, your attitude won't take you very far. You need a guy who's got the whole package in terms of talent, drive, and mind-set. I'm liking this guy more and more because I think he's got those goods:

No question.
The man is a violent player who constantly punishes his opponent.
