IRVING, Texas -- Practice begins and L.P. Ladouceur goes through a series of slides and shuffles in the back of the end zone, one side to the next.
If he needed, he could do this in his sleep. The grass in the end zone is worn out from Ladouceur and the other specialists going over the same spots.
“That’s a grind,” Ladouceur said. “Obviously I’ve been doing this for 12 seasons so honestly it gets routine. But routine is what keeps you going. There’s positives to everything.”
Ladouceur has been doing something like this for more than a decade with the Dallas Cowboys.
