Injuries have trickle-down effects, and tackle Raheem Brock will have to move outside to take more snaps in relief of left end Robert Mathis. That means more playing time for another rookie, tackle Quinn Pitcock, and possibly veterans Dan Klecko and Darrell Reid.
Pitcock has been playing a dozen to 15 snaps a game and deserves more time, coach Tony Dungy said.

Piqua's Pitcock steppin' it up for Colts
By Carlos "Big C" Holmes
Staff Writer
Sunday, December 30, 2007
The plethora of injuries to the Indianapolis Colts defensive line in recent weeks has allowed some of the team's young players such as rookie third-round pick DT Quinn Pitcock to step up and show their stuff. No question Pitcock has seized the opportunity and is proving to the organization that he can play at this level.
The 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle from Piquahas accounted for a number of tackles in the team's last two games. Pitcock showed lots of hustle in those games, running down backs and making the tackle for short gains.
He has also shown his ability to get after the quarterback, penetrating the line of scrimmage and being disruptive.
Hopping the hurdles
After a few nagging injuries early in the season and overcoming some rookie hurdles, Pitcock is starting to come around and is making a nice transition into the pros.
"Things have been pretty good so far," Pitcock said. I didn't hit the huge rookie wall, but hit a bunch of mini hills and overcame a lot of them.
"It's a long season but at the same time I'm having fun and playing a lot more. Everyone is faster, strong, a lot of injuries, and you never know when you're going to play. There are a lot of factors and I just love it. I love playing football and glad to be in Indy," he said.
Despite the rookie struggles, Pitcock feels as if he is coming of age quickly by playing more and learning all the veteran tricks of the trade while in the trenches.

Colts rookies not anxious about playoffs
Told by veterans that it's a new level, 1st-year players say it won't intimidate them
By Phillip B. Wilson

They have played in big games before, but it was college, not exactly what Indianapolis Colts rookies are about to experience in the playoffs.
The NFL postseason is a more intense animal.
"You're still a rookie," defensive end Robert Mathis advised Quinn Pitcock recently as the 24-year-old defensive tackle spoke confidently about being ready for the playoffs.
Advice can be tricky. Rookies are expected to be mindful of it so they aren't caught off guard, but veterans don't want them overwhelmed by the unknown.
"You've got to be careful about spooking them a little bit," quarterback Peyton Manning said. "Everybody has a different way of getting prepared. Sometimes you can tell somebody, 'Oh, it's so different,' and the guy doesn't go out there and play like he normally would. I always say give it the respect it deserves, but don't overdo it."
This time last year, Pitcock and rookie receiver Anthony Gonzalez were playing for a national title with Ohio State. Gonzalez, a first-round selection, has started eight games for the injured Marvin Harrison. Pitcock, a third-round pick, has seen increasing playing time in the tackle rotation the past two months.
"I have heard those exact words: 'We all know you've been in big games, but it's still a different story once the playoffs come,' " Pitcock said. "I am a rookie but I'm not nervous for some reason. I study enough film and work hard enough that I'm confident I can do my job."

Indianapolis Colts: Quinn Pitcock, DT
Pitcock was outplayed by Ed Johnson last year, but he acquitted himself well down the stretch, playing a very solid role in Indianapolis? rotation the last seven weeks of the season. If Anthony McFarland isn?t brought back, Pitcock will be in line for a larger role in the Colts? rotation. He?s just the kind of high motor defensive tackle that typically thrives in Tony Dungy?s defenses.

Colts DT Quinn Pitcock made minimal impact in his rookie season of ?07, but we hear that was mostly because he never fully recovered from a hamstring ailment he had suffered early on. He should be a fixture in the DT rotation this season.
