...was a quadraped carnivor. It had a lightly armored back and lived way before the Jurassic.
Anyone know? I think its starts with P- and ends in -kus or -cus.

I know of no four-footed carnivorous dinosaur. The meat eaters were all bipedal (again, as far as I've ever read). You're probably looking for a Triassic (or earlier) Archosaur. Or, maybe you're looking for an early crocodile like protosuchus.
Edit: Ahh, could you mean the basal archosaur Postosuchus? Again, it's not a dinosaur but it did live during the late Triassic.

Cynognathus is the only thing that comes to mind, it was a large quadruped carnivore of the lower Triassic. It was not a dinosaur, however, and was mammal like reptile called a synapsid.
