DeVito: Jenks-Less D-Line Gets into the Flow

File Under: Jerricho Cotchery, Miami Dolphins, Mike DeVito, Rex Ryan, bye week, Kris Jenkins, Oakland Raiders, Shonn Greene

Sunday's best on the Left Coast for Mike DeVito came as he was cradling Calvin Pace's second strip sack of the game midway through the third quarter on the Oakland Coliseum grass.

"That's more than I've touched the ball ever," DeVito reflected on this fumble recovery added to the fumble he plucked out of the Texas air at Houston in the season opener. Actually, it's more than most defensive lineme… More

Time to Get It On Deep in the Heart of Texas

File Under: Shaun Ellis, Kellen Clemens, Mike DeVito, Rex Ryan, Eugene Wilson, Vernon Gholston, Calvin Pace, Mark Sanchez, Houston Texans, Nick Ferguson, Reliant Stadium

It is warm and humid in the area today, but in keeping with the Texans' "50-80" rule, the Reliant roof is closed for temps of higher th… More

The Texans were third in passing yards at home, 276.4 per game.

Rex: 'They're Going to Count Now'

File Under: Shaun Ellis, Kerry Rhodes, Mike DeVito, Rex Ryan, Vernon Gholston, Calvin Pace, Danny Woodhead, Jehuu Caulcrick, Buddy Ryan

“Now, we’re going to find out where we’re at. We’re playing against Houston. This is an opponent, I believe, that is 12-4 at home over the last two years,” Ryan said today. “If my memory is right, I think they average close to 30 points a game at home. So this is going to be a huge challenge for us.

Pitoitua Rising Up in Bid to Make the Team

File Under: Mike DeVito, Rex Ryan, Mike Pettine, Ropati Pitoitua, Marques Douglas

Ropati Pitoitua was not on the field for this afternoon’s special teams practice, but I wanted to talk to the big defensive lineman about the sack he had in the morning session — and the blocked shot he executed in the preseason game against St. Louis.

When I mentioned the full-extension rejection of a Kyle Boller pass with less than a minute left in the first half, Ropati chuckled.
