He is second all time in sacks among DTs since those records have been collected. He was a great DT. But John Randle was even more disruptive.
Team achievements shouldn't enter into this argument.

I disagree, Sapp made the plays when his team needed them in an NFC Championship game, Sure Randle had a kicker miss a FG, but he still didn't make those plays in that game.
