Have you ever done something perfectly 2,000 times in a row? You know, every day kind of stuff … like tying your shoe. Or maybe bending over a football, and snapping it back 15-yards to a punter. Or bending over a football, and snapping it back 8-yards to the perfect spot for a holder to place the ball for a kicker to attempt a game-winning field goal.
Cowboys Deep Snapper L.P. Ladouceur continued his amazing streak during the 2018 regular season and postseason … a streak that ended in the Divisional Round of the playoffs at 2,001.
Ladouceur has snapped cleanly on 2,001 consecutive deep snaps (including postseason), a streak that began when he joined the Cowboys in Week 4 of the 2005 season.
Yeah, 2005 … that was DeMarcus Ware and Marcus Spears’ rookie seasons. Bill Parcells was head coach back then. The Cowboys wide receivers were Keyshawn Johnson and Terry Glenn.
What have you done without making a mistake since 2005? Heck, have you tied your shoes perfectly 2,000 times in a row? Or remembered to brush your teeth each morning and evening since August 2005? Have you backed your car out of a parking spot 2,000 times without bumping something, or backed it out of the driveway 2,000 times in a row without hitting a trash can or mailbox?
Ladouceur just completed his 14th season with the Cowboys. Only four players in team history have played more seasons with a star on their helmets: Ed “Too Tall” Jones, Bill Bates, Mark Tuinei, and Jason Witten. Each of those Cowboys’ legends played 15.
Ladouceur hopes to join that list of elite Cowboys, but now that the 2018 season/postseason is complete, he’s a free agent and no longer under contract with the Cowboys. He’s free to sign with the Cowboys or any other team in 2019.
