Kiwanuka Says Samuels 'Was Out Of Line'
6th September, 2008 - 10:40 am
New York Post - Giants' Mathias Kiwanuka thinks that the Redskins' Chris Samuels pulled a dirty play or at least a play that lacked sportsmanship on the last play of Thursday night's game, according to New York Post.

On the final play of the game on Thursday night, Kiwanuka cleanly and quickly beat Samuels to the outside in pursuit of quarterback Jason Campbell.

Kiwanuka had an open pathway to Campbell, but never came close. Samuels from behind leaped at Kiwanuka's legs, landing directly on his lower left leg, a tackle that prompted a penalty flag that was not enforced, as the game was over.

"He just turned around and jumped on my ankle, simple as that," Kiwanuka said. "I don't know that he targeted my hurt ankle, I don't think he thought that deep into it, but he definitely, trying to save a play, intentionally did something I felt like was just out of line.

"You take hits. I took a big hit during the game - at this level it's something that happens. The greatest players get knocked down, you got to be able to stand back up, be a man and line up for the next snap. Something like that, I would never do it.

"Having been out for the end of last season, I know how valuable these games are, and I would never do it to anybody and I wouldn't expect anybody to do that to me." [READ]
