Les Carpenter just wrote an excellent profile of Cowboys veteran long snapper LP Ladouceur for The Guardian.  Carpenter describes him as “perfect for almost 12 seasons.”  The story reaffirms the usual refrain about snappers, which is you do not want to be recognized since that usually means something has gone horribly wrong.

The article includes a quote from Cowboys special teams coach Rich Bisaccia, who notes that a snapper must be like “a linebacker, but backward, be able to snap the ball backward like the quarterback throws.”
