LP Ladouceur Appreciation Thread

[tyke1doe]

LP Ladouceur has a pitch count of 3251 successful snaps on 3250 attempts.

Did you write this as a joke?

 

[Spectre]

Ladouceur... you complete me

 

[Nexx]

dan bailey thanks you

He's been a great long snapper, but I hate we have to use a roster spot soley for that position.

Practically all teams do. That is why you see players at the position hang around with the same team for a long time in most cases.

It is an important position to get right and not worry about. I still remember Trey Junkin.

 

[Boom]

Lol how is that even possible?

LP touched him on the way out.

 

[conner01]

Well did that for years with Hellastrea.

My spelling might be off but he had by far the best job in the NFL. He would just snap it and stand there.

He also played a position while LP doesn't. But I have no problem using a spot on a position that has cost teams games by not having a solid one

 

[conner01]

I can't tell if all the love for this guy is sarcasm. Not gonna lie, I could probably be an NFL long snapper. Probably one of the better ones at that.

It's a much harder job than some fans think. If it was so easy more players would learn the skill because it's the best job in the nfl, at least the safest.

Not sure if some of you are joking or not, but real talk, LP is awesome! He deserves this thread!

I've never seen a bad snap from the guy, and he's the most consistent player on our team.

Dan Bailey in terms of difficulty compared to snapping a football, I say Bailey is more consistent.

 

[dogunwo]

The guy never misses a snap. His accuracy is incredible.

He is never injured either. I wonder if he gets any reps at all at TE?

What did he play? Wasn't he the 3rd center?

I heard the water boy is pretty consistent too. Nobody ever goes thirsty at our practices.

Don't rembet if he was backup or 3rd but he played some. Most deep snappers are smaller guys but he was huge

 

[65fastback2plus2]

cant we put this guy in at center so we get tony an extra couple seconds before getting hit? lol

So does every team. It's not our fault we are elite at that position and nobody else is.

It's not sarcasm at all.

San Diego's longsnapper, per @Muhast, had two snaps in a game where he couldn't even get it to the punter without skipping it off the turf last season.

I'd like to see you be an NFL long snapper - what city do you live in? Lets get you a try out so you can put your money where your mouth is.

LP plays a position - long snapper. He also has 16 career tackles on special teams.

 

[CCBoy]

Can we all just have a moment to discuss the elite, Hall of Fame career of our long snapper?

After playing the third game of the 2005 seasonagainst the San Francisco 49ers, the Cowboys decided to stay the entire week in California, to better prepare for their next game against the Oakland Raiders. Because of issues they were having with rookie long snapperJon Condo, the team decided to replace him with Ladouceur, who got a try out that week, in part because he was a local Bay Area player.[2] In his NFL debut against the San Francisco 49ers, he snapped cleanly on five punts and two field goals. He finished his rookie season with clean snaps on 70 punts, 25 field goalsand 28 PATs. (Source: Wikipedia)
