Giants are rotating their offensive linemen — and it's been working

The Giants aren’t really sure why their rotation of offensive linemen is working so well for them in recent weeks. Maybe it’s that it gives the players a rest and keeps them fresh, or maybe it catches defensive linemen on their heels. At a position group where stability and continuity so often are the goal, the Giants somehow have flaunted that convention and seem to be better for it.

Offensive line coach Marc Colombo said on Tuesday that the key is rookie Matt Peart, who toggles between left and right tackle, spelling starters Andrew Thomas and Cam Fleming throughout the game.
