Giants storylines

Andrews fitting in

What makes Shawn Andrews different from the rest of the Giants' business-first offensive linemen? Well, he's emotional, he'll break into song at any moment, and he is consistently on Twitter updating the world to his favorite foods. But the effervescent outsider - who is now apparently the starting left tackle - has fit in with the tight-knit, tight-lipped group. "Shawn has a great attitude," veteran Rich Seubert said on Monday. "It's fun to have him out there playing. I know Shawn is going to go 110 percent and bust his tail off to get the job done."

Ware in the rotation?

Ahmad Bradshaw enters Sunday's game as the NFL's third-leading rusher. But against the Seahawks, he was his team's third-leading rusher. Brandon Jacobs banging out 78 yards on 11 carries isn't a surprise, but D.J. Ware came off the bench for one drive and managed 66 yards on 13 carries. He also might have found a way to get on the field more often. "I was impressed by the way Danny Ware came in the game," Tom Coughlin said on Monday. "Perhaps we can balance this thing out to where all of our runners can finish the season on a very high level because they've had a chance to carry the ball in each and every game."

Cowboys redux

It might seem like the Giants just came off the field against the Cowboys in Dallas. They played on Oct. 25, and after a short bye week and a trip to Seattle, the Giants are back to preparing for their NFC East rival. Not that they need to do much background work and studying. "It's very familiar and it kind of makes it easier at times because you have the scheme that they were throwing at you in the back of your mind since it wasn't too far away," cornerback Terrell Thomas said on Monday.
