Why WAS Shaw trying to get Andrews to defend Oswald? I can only guess that Shaw was a minor player in the whole thing and had no idea what Oswald was being set up for, or he wouldn't have exposed himself and Andrews like that.

Or Shaw was a major player doing damage control after Oswald failed to get himself killed at the theater. His assignment being to make Oswald think the team was still covering his back so he would never expect Ruby's bullet in the basement.
