PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Cam Heyward can rattle the list off in seconds.The names of the 10 defensive linemen taken ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers end in the first round of 2011 NFL draft come to mind so quickly its as if Heyward is pointing out faces in a family picture.Marcell Dareus. J.J. Watt. Robert Quinn. Ryan Kerrigan. On and on it goes. Some are well known. Some are not. All of them, however, are remembered by the player who is constantly searching for that little extra motivation. In the end, he knows those little slights might make all the difference.Talent isnt always going to win, Heyward said. Youve got to have heart. Youve got to be smart. Youve got to be ready.Something the fourth-year veteran is embracing, in both victory and defeat.As the mentors who took Heyward under their wing a€” Aaron Smith, Chris Hoke, Casey Hampton chief among them a€” have vanished to retirement, Heyward has made it a point to become the spokesman for a team still searching for an identity a month into the season. Its what leaders do.When the Steelers (2-2) allowed lowly Tampa Bay to rip off 10 fourth-quarter points in a 27-24 victory last Sunday, Heyward dutifully stood at his locker and took responsibility for the mistakes. Some of them a€” like the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he received for arguing with an official a€” were his fault. Others, like the other 12 flags the Steelers drew, were not.While his teammates dressed quietly in stunned silence, Heyward spoke evenly, trying to set a tone for the road ahead starting Sunday at Jacksonville (0-4).Dont count us out yet, he said. It happens. They made the plays at the end. Youve got to give them credit. Weve got to grow from this. Hopefully this will never happen again.Heyward understands hes at the point in his career where his production needs to start meeting his potential. The son of longtime NFL running back Craig Heyward shares his fathers relentlessness and love for the game. And at 6-foot-5 and 290-pounds, hes a presence at the line of scrimmage. Hes not as fast as Watt or as massive ad Dareus, but Heyward makes up for any physical shortcomings by using the massive head a€” another thing he inherited from his dad a€” stuffed inside his helmet.The proof of Heywards evolution is obvious beyond the fact he already has two sacks, a pace that would put him well ahead of the five he registered last year. Defensive line coach John Mitchell gives his players a written quiz each week. The test breaks down everything from formations to tendencies. Each player gets a grade. Most weeks Heyward is among those with the top marks.Its not a coincidence.A lot of guys have very good book sense but no football sense and vice versa, Mitchell said. Cam is a guy thats smart. He knows whats going on on the field.A snapshot from Pittsburghs season-opening win over Cleveland provided proof.Tied at 27 late in the fourth quarter, the Browns had the ball with a chance to win it. It never happened, not after the drive began with Heyward enveloping Cleveland quarterback Brian Hoyer for a sack. The Browns punted three plays later, giving Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger just enough time to win it.The sack was the byproduct of several things: great coverage by linebacker Ryan Shazier on Hoyers primary target; even better coverage by the rest of the secondary as Hoyer looked for options; and Heywards ability to recognize the play call. He ducked to the inside at the snap then bowled over an offensive lineman before wrapping his massive arms around Hoyers No. 6 jersey.He can look at tape and dissect the things that are going to go on around him, Mitchell said. On that play at the end of the Cleveland game, its a formation he had seen and talked about. Dick (LeBeau) had them in a great defence and he was able to make the play.Yet Heyward refuses to single himself out. The Steelers have won when he hasnt played well. They have lost when he has. Whatever his stat line looks like at the end of the fourth quarter, hes still more concerned about the number on the scoreboard.Its a lesson he learned from his father, who spent most of his 11-year career paving the way for smaller, faster backs. Its sometimes anonymous work, but work that must be done. Craig Heyward provided his son with a model that Cam has tried to follow during a career that is starting to take flight.The Steelers have already picked up his option for next season with the intent of making him a cornerstone through the end of the decade and beyond. Thats just fine with him.I would love to be here, he said. I know they like to keep their players ... to do that Ive got to take care of business on the field and take care of my business off the field.NOTES: OG Ramon Foster (ankle) practiced Wednesday and said he definitely would play this week.

This according to former linebacker Brandon Spikes and cornerback Aqib Talib. In an interview with WGR Buffalo, Spikes, recently signed by the Bills, alleges that he was placed on injured reserve last season and didnt know why. "I heard they put me on IR and stuff like that," Spikes said. "That was just a false report. Thats just how things go there. Almost like what happened with Talib and his hip." After signing with the Denver Broncos, Talib claimed that he never had any sort of hip injury as was reported multiple times by the team last season. "The Patriots have their way of reporting stuff, but I havent had a hip problem since Tampa," Talib saiid last week.dddddddddddd "The injury I had was actually a quad injury. It was reported as a hip injury, but thats how they do things." When Spikes ended the season last year on IR, the Patriots stated that it was a mutual decision between the player and the team, but Spikess agent denies this was the case. "The teams decision to place Brandon on injured reserve was not a mutual decision, nor need it be," said Gary Uberstine in a statement. "Brandon had every intention to keep playing throughout the playoffs, despite the pain he was experiencing throughout the season." The NFL expects teams to report their injuries accurately. It is unknown as of yet whether or not the league intends to investigate these allegations.
