Who is the heart and soul of the Steelers?

I would vote for Cam. Vocal leader and backs it up with his play and effort. TJ is a game wrecker and leads by example. I think he will become more vocal as time goes by. I do think the team lacks chemistry overall. Part of it is alot of new faces. Part of it is just attitudes. On offense we have Ben and maybe JuJu when he is out there I could see Harris filling a leader role in the future.
 
Heyward is the heart.
Watt is the legs.
Ben is the head.
We the fans are the soul.
 
That leaves for much interpretation. If I had to pick. The Steelers did receive a heart transplant in 1969. Joe Greene.

The soul is made up of many men.

Cowher showed a LOT of passion openly and physicaly. It showed with his players and teams through out his coaching here.

Tomlin has passion but not shownnearly in a way we as fans can see or comprehend. His players and team don't show the open passion either physicaly or mentally as perceived by fans and on field play.

Our current players who show the passion for the team and game are way less numbered than past coached teams. To much "SOFT" involved. This team would well fire up should their head coach came down the line game day and banged slamed grabbed and shouted, feed off the top. He'd need to show more durring practices as well.

In my opinion the teams practice habits and intensity requiring being called out in the media really said a lot. And hey tackled a **** of a lot better after the Cinci embarrassment.

Not at all discounting what Sarge says about the fans because we live and breath black n’ gold that’s for sure.

If however we’re merely keeping this among players then here’s my take.

Ben is the heart of the Steelers. I say this because I can tell with how he reacts after a win or a loss. When we win like the other night he was like a kid on Christmas morning he was so happy. When we lose he takes it so personal and to heart and always takes the blame.
TJ to me is the soul of the team. When he’s playing everything is different. You can feel the energy from the rest of the team, the attitude and effort seems to be better. When he’s out, it’s like the wind has been taken out of our sails. TJ is a different maker and I don’t think I can pay him a higher compliment.
TJ to the Steelers is like Strahan was with the Giants, or LT with the Giants, or Ray Lewis was with the Ravens. Difference makers who when playing you damn well knew it, and if not playing you damn well knew it. That’s TJ Watt to the Steelers. A difference maker and the soul of the Steelers.

Ben is the heart of the Steelers to you...the other players don't hardly relate to him. They are too young and he is too old. Case in point: no music in the locker room by Ben's request. Why? I think it's safe to assume Ben doesn't like the music 80% of the team does. That's why when he was sacked at the beginning of the season no offensive lineman would help him up. Took a retired lineman to come in( think it was Ramon Foster) and talk to them about it. It's hard to relate with the age difference.

This makes me sad.
 
I think this is a great question.
Cam is the leader. Ben is the leader.
But heart? I don't think we have had a player like that in along time.

Maybe that is why we haven't won anything since 2008.
These guys don't really play for each other.
That to me is on the head coach.

Sounds like they have a bunch of immature children. I suppose they need milk&cookies and nap time too. Ben can read them scary stories about tough mean Steeler teams of the past.

Have you not read the reason why music is not played at the request of the veterans? The whole Dan Rooney story? Maybe you should.
 
The heart and soul of the Steelers is Mike Tomlin. Obviously.

This nails it. And Watt's effort is undeniable. But if you are being an ******* on this team it's not gonna be Watt that sits you down. Some guys just have that voice and credibility.

Similar to Troy Polamalu and Joey Porter IMO. Polamalu was the playmaker, Porter would make sure your *** was in line and you'd listen.

**** I loved both those players. I watch the Polamalu/Tomlinson commercial and I get Goose bumps. I think about it everytime I lead my team into the stadium.

Same here. One of the greatest sports commercials of all-time IMO.
 
I feel close to the same about Watt. He is so likeable and so ****** awesome and I love defense. God I hope he wins a championship with this team.
 
Cam is the soul. When he's down, the D is down.

Alualu was the heart. The D has not been the same since he went out. One reflects that the Steeler's playoff chances went out the door when Alualu was lost.

Worth noting that when Tomlin benched James Pierre after one damn bad game, the D has since played hampered with terrible depression. i think about that whilst i watch Cam Sutton just get ******* roasted by wideouts much less talented than J. Chase.

Maybe i'm just crazy but at some point, Mike Tomlin and the coaches should be held accountable.
 
Heart and soul of this team is still #7. He almost willed that team to a W from 29 points down.

Ben, Heyward, Watt. The rest of the team doesn't. Your QB should not have to spend the entire game yelling at his teammates for idiotic play. They need to fill the roster with guys who want to play for each other.
