    Giants newly-acquired offensive guard Shawn Andrews took the majority of his limited snaps at left guard and did see a couple of snaps at left tackle as well in his first practice in almost a year. Even though Andrews was a right guard while with the Eagles, he is left-handed and feels comfortable on the left side. Andrews did have a moment during an individual one-on-one drill when defensive tackle Chris Canty blew by him with a nice swim move, but Tom Coughlin was encouraged by what he saw. "I like what he did," the head coach said. "The coaches have met with him Friday, Saturday, Sunday, so he's starting to be spoon-fed the offense, which is foreign to him, so he's got to do some analogies and some comparisons just to put the thing together. But he's been working at it so hopefully it'll come quickly." Coughlin said the team will wait and see whether Andrews can learn the offense quickly enough to play against Baltimore on Saturday. Andrews hopes to show everyone that he can still play and has the desire to play again after it was questioned by some in Philadelphia when he said he was suffering from clinical depression during training camp in 2008.
