Another day, another injury. Many of you are probably relieved that these aren't star players going down, and with good reason. Still, Mike Schneck was quietly a very good player in his limited role, and replacement Bryan Pittman will have to do just as well. With a long snapper, invisibility is your best trait. If you do your job well, nobody notices you, and during his time on the time, Schneck was...

Joe Reedy and John Erardi, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, report the Bengals worked out free-agent LS Bryan Pittman (Seahawks) and LS Clark Harris (Texans) on Thursday. The team continues to have serious issues with the long-snapping, as Brad St.Louis has struggled the whole season in that department.

On Tuesday, the Bengals gave Nathan Hodel a look ; he left Cincinnati without a reported contract. On Thursday, the Bengals released Geoffrey Pope and signed "The Stuka", Dan Skuta , off the team's practice...

Now that eight points were lost on the board, arguably, because of bad snaps this year, the Bengals finally started thawing the do-no-right-be-can't-get-fired file. Even though Brad St. Louis has been with the team before the Marvin Lewis era, the career long-snapper's job security is quickly dwindling . Joe Reedy writes: It appears that Brad St. Louis has held on to the long snapper job for another...

The Hawks have themselves a new long snapper, as today the team came to terms with unrestricted free agent Bryan Pittman. This move makes a lot of sense. He played in 92 consecutive games for the Texans before serving a four-game suspension to end last season.
