Here's where we stand with long snappers. Brad St. Louis is going to snap at least one more game; why not give him a last chance in a critical divisional game, makes sense (that's sarcasm). 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 Patriots also released long snapper Nathan Hodel. Hodel spent the last seven seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, where Todd Haley was an assistant the last two years. That low snap by Thomas Gafford on Ryan Succop's 53-yard miss the other night certainly didn't inspire any confidence. Here are some possible reinforcements | Red Zone

A third-round pick from San Diego State last year, O'Connell spent his rookie season behind Matt Cassel after Brady tore knee ligaments in the season opener. Cassel was traded to Kansas City in the offseason, and O'Connell was expected to move up. O'Connell struggled in preseason games and was...

The Patriots have found a replacement for recently departed long snapper Lonnie Paxton. Today, the Patriots announced the signing of former Arizona Cardinal Nathan Hodel. Hodel has long-snapped for the Cardinals since 2002, and has never missed a snap. He’s also never missed a game. Pretty good stuff if you ask me. Now, I never want to [...]

Darin Gantt reports that Panthers free agent long snapper Jason Kyle visited the Cardinals last week. Kyle visiting Arizona makes sense, he's from there, and the Cards just cut their guy (ironically, former Panthers camp-hand Nathan Hodel, who was here briefly to ease Kyle's summer workload). When I last talked to Kyle, just before the start of free agency, he was a bit dismayed that he hadn't heard...
