Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:05:02 -0700 New York Giants DE Mathias Kiwanuka could move back to the defensive line, according to general manager Jerry Reese. "Well I see him as still kind of a joker type player for us,'' Reese said. "But from my view I think he will probably play more on the defensive line more than he played at linebacker in the past; just from my view. But that is Coach Coughlin's call."
Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:28:01 -0700 The New York Giants likely would move DE Mathias Kiwanuka to defensive end full-time next season if the team does not re-sign free-agent DE Osi Umenyiora this offseason.

Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:16:30 -0700 New York Giants DL Mathias Kiwanuka thinks the integrity of NFL games has been compromised with the use of replacement officials.
Thu, 06 Sep 2012 09:38:32 -0700 New York Giants DE Mathias Kiwanuka said the replacement officials failed to call many holding penalties in Week 1. Kiwanuka claims he was held by the Dallas Cowboys' offensive line numerous times. "I haven't been held this much since I was a baby," Kiwanuka said after the game. "You've got to understand that these refs have been put in a tough situation, without having weeks, months, years to prepare like the other refs had. It's definitely tough to come in and pick up the nuances of the NFL. I tip my hats to them, but you notice when the real refs aren't out there."

"For whatever reason, it hasn't. So I understand his frustration."
Mon, 30 Apr 2012 05:42:14 -0700 New York Giants DL Osi Umenyiora did not care for comments made by general manager Jerry Reese, who said Umenyiora has turned down multiple contract extension offers. Umenyiora said Reese's comments overlook the fact that the team's contract offers have been for far less money than he thinks he deserves, and far less than the $10.95 million guaranteed that DL Mathias Kiwanuka just got from the Giants. "Last year I was offered incentives. This year they offered me in guaranteed money, HALF of what they just gave Kiwi guaranteed. HALF," Umenyiora wrote in an email. "I'm not making that up. Then Jerry tells the world they offered me an extension and I turned it down. And I look like a greedy pig for turning it down. Hilarious."

"It was all business," Kiwanuka said of the flight to Indianapolis. "We have been ready to go. We could have lined up and played yesterday if we had to, so everybody is just focused and ready to get the game going."
Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:56:48 -0800 New York Giants LB Mathias Kiwanuka will play in his hometown of Indianapolis for Super Bowl XLVI against the New England Patriots Sunday, Feb. 5.

Kiwanuka has sacrificed his coveted pass-rushing role to shuttle between linebacker and defensive end this season, compensating for injuries and inexperience along the defense. According to a source familiar with Kiwanuka's contract, his contract has sack-based incentives. Kiwanuka admits that he wants to spend the remainder of the season in opposing quarterbacks' faces. "It's important to me to get sacks," Kiwanuka said.
