LT Alex Barron turned in an impressive performance against Minnesota after being benched the week before for lining up off the line of scrimmage. Six days after DE Jared Allen had 4.5 sacks against Green Bay, Allen had none in his matchup with Barron.Said coach Steve Spagnuolo, "I thought he did a really good job. I thought Alex had one of his better games against we all know a legitimate player, a real good player. But again, as a group I thought the offensive line did a pretty good job." Barron said he got no added motivation by facing Allen or from the benching. "You've got to be motivated every week, no matter who you're going against," he said. "A different week is a different challenge." 10/14/2009
