#143 - Squish the Fish, Trade the Trash - Week 9 Recap, Trade Deadline Deals & Week 10 Preview @ Minnesota Vikings
Thursday, 6 November, 2025
In this week’s episode, Ian, James, Gordon and Ben relive a primetime palate-cleanser in South Florida as the Ravens thumped the Dolphins 28–6 on Thursday Night Football. Fresh off a hamstring layoff, Lamar Jackson put on a clinic with four touchdown passes and a 143.2 passer rating, while the offense mixed timely shots with controlled tempo to keep Miami on ice. From there, the lads dig into the offensive line and run-game picture. Progress in Miami, but still a season-long story of lurches and growing pains after so much turnover up front. They talk pressure rates, continuity, and how Derrick Henry’s usage is evolving as the blocking gels, with context from preseason unit grades and midseason analysis. On defense, it was a “bend-don’t-break” masterclass: Baltimore conceded yards but slammed doors in the red zone, stacked takeaways, and looked notably faster with multiple rookies flashing. The crew highlight those rookie contributions and celebrate the chess-piece value of Kyle Hamilton, whose all-over-the-field role lets Zach Orr keep disguises on every down. Trade talk heats up too. The team react to Baltimore acquiring Dre’Mont Jones to juice the pass rush. A low-cost flyer with upside, and what it signals about the front office’s belief in this defense over the next two months. They also unpack the headline-grabbing Jaire Alexander deal sending the former Pro Bowler to Philadelphia, why it happened, and what it means for the Ravens’ corner rotation and cap flexibility. Finally, it’s a Week 10 preview at Minnesota: U.S. Bank Stadium noise, a rejuvenated Vikings team, early odds that make Baltimore road favourites, and the key matchups they think will travel . From protection rules versus simulated pressures to Lamar’s perimeter options against a young secondary.
