Waiting for their chance

Quinn Pitcock waited a month to make his NFL debut. When the Indianapolis Colts rookie defensive tackle finally dressed for a game Oct.

If the past 10 years are any indication, these kids will get their chances soon enough to be part of a special season/team. You mostly have to pay your dues with this team as a younger player and then you get paid paid back in your last year or two with starters minutes so you can go on to make yourself a high paid player (Jason David) or stick around and get resigned.

Just stay healthy and you will get your chances for sure.

It is good to see such positive attitudes. They need look no farther then Jackson and Hayden to see that the coaching staff believes in those players that they draft. Pitcock could be a real contributer once he gets an opprotunity. His waiting should make him more hungry to go out there and play to the top of his potential

The Colts build through the draft and these players will get their shot.The Colts donot go after high price free agents and I don't blame them.College players are coming into the league ready to play immediately because of programs that are simiarly to the NFL.

I don't know why these draftee's would complain about getting playing time. They are getting a six figure salary and medical benifits just to keep going to school, so to speak to learn thier craft. They after all are just apprentice players on the superbowl champs and the colts usually give their new players two years to show what they got.

They "complain" because they want to play. It's called passion, rather than just playing for the money.
