Lawrence Guy, a patient, has discovered a good landing place.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the veteran Patriots defensive tackle has signed with Cincinnati and will immediately be added to the 53-man roster.Prior to his departure in February, Guy had played seven seasons with New England.

With the Patriots, the 34-year-old participated in 118 games and had two appearances in Super Bowls, winning one of them. Strong defensive tackle Guy, who recorded a quarterback hit on Jared Goff in Super Bowl LIII, played 55% of the defensive snaps as New England defeated the Rams 13-3. Guy was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in New England in 2022 and was named to the Patriots All-2010s Team.

Guy’s job in Cincinnati will be to assist the Bengals, who are 0–2, in turning around their dismal start. Given the ailments to starter defensive tackles B.J. Hill and Sheldon Rankins, the 14-year veteran may see action soon if he stays in good condition.

Even with Christian Barmore on injured reserve, the Patriots defensive line has performed admirably without Guy despite his steady presence. With two games played, New England is allowing the second-fewest rushing yards per game on the ground—58.0—in the league.

 

Belichick shares a memorable Super Bowl LI tale on ESPN’s “Manningcast.”

After New England’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Bill Belichick’s silence over his old team’s Week 1 victory confused Patriots fans.

Belichick only mentioned Keion White when discussing the Patriots’ Week 1 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. However, he mentioned New England’s Week 2 opponent when talking about the Atlanta Falcons’ game plan prior to halftime on Monday’s “ManningCast” on ESPN2.

In response to a question concerning Super Bowl LI, Belichick said he watched the second half and overtime again while in his hotel room to be sure he wasn’t dreaming.

“It just so happened that my hotel room had the game on when I returned to the hotel,” Belichick said. Around the beginning of the third quarter, I thought, “You know what, maybe that was just a dream, and I need to sit down and watch this and make sure we still won.”

Seattle’s wide receivers are too much for the Patriots to contain in an overtime loss.

In their Week 2 matchup with the Seahawks on Sunday, the Patriots had numerous opportunities to win, but they were unable to produce enough game-winning plays in overtime and the late fourth quarter.

It turned out that the Seahawks’ passing offense made the difference. DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, two wide receivers for Seattle, combined for 22 receptions for 246 yards and a touchdown. Those two pass-catchers presented no challenges for the New England secondary.
