Pitcock Placed on Reserve/Did Not Report List, Polian Says
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. ? For now at least, the Colts? wait for Quinn Pitcock is over.
Pitcock, a second-year veteran defensive tackle who did not report to 2008 Training Camp, has been placed on the team?s reserve/did not report list, Colts President Bill Polian said on Wednesday morning.
?Quinn?s really thinking that he?s not going to play,? Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy said Wednesday between a pair of practices at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
Polian and Dungy did not rule out the possibility of Pitcock returning.
?We put him on ?Did Not Report,? and we?ll see where it goes from here,? Polian said. ?It happens.?
Dungy said the Colts will ?leave the door open for him.?
?I have been aware of people who have changed their mind,? Dungy said. ?We?re not going to shut the door, but right now, that?s where he?s sitting. He feels like it?s just something he wants to do. We told him, ?Just take your time and if you determine you want to come back, you can be a good player for us,? but right now, we?re thinking that?s not going to be the case.?
Pitcock, a third-round selection by the Colts in 2007 NFL Draft, attended Ohio State University, and played in nine games last season, starting one. After playing sparingly early in the season, he started one of nine games and registered 1.5 sacks and 24 tackles, seven solos.
Pitcock played extensively in November and December, and during that period, he had four games in which he had four or more tackles.
In an early-December victory over Baltimore, he had 1.5 sacks.
?It?s a tough situation, because we really felt like Quinn had things we were looking for to be a very good player for us,? Dungy said. ?By the same token, football?s a tough game. You have to be into it 100 percent to play effectively.
?If you?re not, it?s going to be detrimental to you and the team. I can see both sides of it and right now, we?re just going to let him relax and we?ll move on.?
