Allen Barbre: It's cool to win at Green Bay

The Philadelphia Eagles' win over Green Bay was probably the best game former East Newton High School and Missouri Southern State University standout Allen Barbre has ever played since he entered pro football.

Even better, it came in the facility that he once called home- Lambeau Field.

Barbre's contributions to the win were highlighted in this Philadelphia Daily News article:

Barbre played three seasons for the Pack, after they drafted him out of Missouri Southern State in 2007. His seven career starts all came for Green Bay in 2009. Barbre, 29, the Eagles' top offensive-line reserve, ended up playing most of yesterday's 27-13 Eagles victory over the Packers after left tackle Jason Peters, the fulcrum of the o-line, left with a quadriceps injury. Peters was injured on the first play after he returned from what the Eagles called a "head injury." Peters came into the game fighting finger, shoulder and pectoral muscle injuries.

"It's definitely cool to come back here and get a win, after being released here, and getting to play, that's awesome," Barbre said. He said he didn't get tired, and felt very good after he adjusted to being in there.

Left guard Evan Mathis, asked how big a deal it was to have to play much of the game without Peters, said: "It's not a big deal when Allen Barbre is your sixth man. Allen is incredibly talented. He can play guard and tackle, on both sides. You don't even think about it, when he comes in to replace any of us. He can fill in. He prepares like he's going to play. He has a head for the game. He's very athletic and very strong . . . He's a starting-caliber player."
