Warren Sapp was that good IMO. 1 of the best DTs to play and the best DT to play the last 10 years. 2nd in sacks all time for a DT, behind John Randle. The best 3 tech DT ever.

I think Sapp was really that good. But, the NFL Network coverage and this football life is all propaganda for him. But he was 1 of the best DTs to ever play the game. Not saying hes th best, but hes def in the discussion. You can say what you want to say about him and all, but on the field he was great.

He revolutionized the DT position with Jon Randle. Before them 2, DTs were typically slow, huge guys that took on blockers. He was 1 of the 1st great athletic guys to play DT. He ran a 4.69 40 at the combine. For a DT, thats unheard of.

You can hate him all you want, Im not a fan of him either. Hes a retard. Actually everyone on NFL network embarrasses themselves except Marshall Faulk. And Deion is Deion. Irvin, Sapp, and at times Deion all look and sound stupid. But, Sapp on the field was 1 of the best DTs of all time.

Irvin, on the other hand is a completely diff story.

Yes he was that good, for a DT he really dominated inside, for a few years he was unblockable

Actually, as much as I hated him as a player, I like Irvin. If you listen to what he actually says (and not how he says it) Irvin usually makes a lot of objective points.
