And you will love every minute if it happens as you think it will.
Pessimist or not, it's highly unlikely Newhouse could shut out Goat Roper. It's just as unlikely that Newhouse allows 5-6 sacks.
But...the question, as posed, was how many times will Allen beat Newhouse, and that I think he will do plenty, but getting beat doesn't necessarily mean a sack. Put me down for 4-8.
Newhouse played better vs the Giants in 2012 than he did in 2011, if you go by the stat sheet at PFF. He gave up 9 pressures in '11 and 2.5 in '12. His performance is not good enough to handle the best just yet, but he is still improving - a 5th round OT often takes a little longer to develop

Lang is injured/struggling and the Giants went after him to the tune of 4.5 pressures per McGinn
The question is: How many cheap shots will the ignorant hillbilly make when he's getting shut down by a mediocre tackle. Good pass rushers make hay against the Bears, Allen got shut out and resorted to going Warren Sapp except launching at a guy's head. Same in the Tampa game. The guy's become a punk bitch this year.
