Bengals audition long snapper

It appears that Brad St. Louis has held on to the long snapper job for another week, even though the team did bring in Nathan Hodel for a visit.
Tuesday, which is the players’ off day, is usually the day when teams bring in free agents for visits or tryouts.
St. Louis has had four errant snaps during the first four weeks of the season, including two in last Sunday’s 23-20 overtime win against Cleveland. Hodel was Arizona’s long snapper for seven seasons and played in 112 straight games before signing with New England during the offseason. He was released by the Patriots on Aug. 31.
Other options that the Bengals might consider are JP Darche and Bryan Pittman. Darche spent last season with Kansas City while Pittman, who is supposed to have a tryout with San Diego this week, was with Houston.
The Bengals did have college free agent James Smith in during minicamp, but it would be highly doubtful that they would replace St. Louis, a 10-year veteran, with a rookie.
St. Louis and Chad Ochocinco are the only players who have been on the Bengals roster since before Marvin Lewis became coach in 2003.
