Sapp used to be a good player, Rice is the man who makes the plays now. Sapp is very overrated only 2 sacks all year. He can no longer back up the talk.
indymike, Sapp creates all of his fellow linemen's sack opportunities, etc., because he is double~teamed, sometimes even tripled, on almost every single play, paving the way for them to make the big plays.
Your right about Sapp getting double teamed. The position is common on quite a few teams, where a big Defensive Tackle will occupy two blockers so a Defensive end can go one on one. An example is the Carolina Panthers' Kris Jenkins doing all he can to free up DE. Mike Rucker. Sapp is one of the best at it.
I think this had more to do with him "accidentally" bumping the official in the pregame on Sunday.
I'm a huge Bucs fan (I bleed orange, not pewter), and it looked pretty intentional to me.
