Adrian Awasom

[UNTStill]

Stats for AA in last night loss to the Panthers, in which the Giants defensive line/linebackers looked as solid as a colander: 1 tackle, 1 assist. He played steadily, and unfortuntately the Panthers had a couple of good runs on his side but only because AA was stunting inside. He seems to be in that role -- steady, solid, nothing spectacular yet, but dependable. But the local media covering the Giants camp at UAlbany continue to give him three names -- "And Adrian Awasom." In all the articles about the AWOL Michael Strahan (way too much coverage -- since the local sports media are all pretty unoriginal and unimaginative, it's the story line that continues to dominate), all the others are talked about at length -- Tuck, Joseph, etc. -- and Awasom is always tacked on last, " . . . and Adrian Awasom." Unfair. As far as I can tell, and I'm certainly not an NFL-level talent analyst, I don't think anyone outside the vet group there now is going to rise up and unseat AA, although if the experiment at linebacker with last year's No.1 pick (whose name I can't remember to spell right at the moment) fails, and last night it looked like it will, then that may add a complication.
