Stramash!

Cameron, Gordon and Jamie catch up to round off their pre-season NFC tour with a deep dive on the New York Giants. Along the way they navigate the Browns' latest quarterback chaos, a CEO in hot water, the Chargers' eternal offensive line curse, and whether Joe Milton is Jameis Winston's brain in Cam Newton's body.

The main event sees Jamie Borthwick defend Big Blue's honour as they break down John Harbaugh's culture overhaul, Jaxson Dart's development, a terrifying pass rush paired with a dreadful run defense, and a secondary that needs serious help.

Plus, a burger bet, a live event at The Raven, and Paul's keyboard takes another beating.

Gordon, Jamie and Paul return to continue our preseason pods, this time looking at the NFC South.

First time the crew breaks down standout performances from offensive linemen Brandon Coleman and Broderick Jones, J.J. McCarthy's rocky start in Minnesota, and promising Giants rookie Malachi Fields.

The focus then turns to the NFC South and covers the Falcons' suspension and injury woes, the Panthers' tackle crisis and Darren Waller signing, and the Buccaneers' wide range of outcomes under a hot-seat Todd Bowles. Then a Patreon picked deep dive on the Saints examines Tyler Shough's sophomore potential, Chris Olave's big extension, a top-10 offensive line versus a bottom-10 defensive line, and a brutal opening schedule at Detroit and Baltimore.

Cameron and Gordon dive into the NFC North, with Patreon-chosen Minnesota Vikings taking centre stage.

The podcast's first-ever media scandal kicks things off as we ask if Paul Mitchell's "exclusive" is legit, or is he just being a grumpy git?

Pre-season takeaways, Quinnen Williams' mega-deal, and Deebo's return to the Bay. Then it's division-by-division: Lions' O-line worries, Love's top-6 QB case, Caleb Williams' leap, and can Kyler Murray revive his career in Minnesota?

Plus, Aaron Donald rumours and a Glasgow live event for week 3.

Stramash is back with all the preseason content you didn't know you needed... and this week, our Patreons have done it again. While Cameron makes a suspiciously brief cameo before disappearing for the evening, Gordon, Jamie, and Charles dig deep into the AFC West. The Chiefs, the Chargers, the Broncos all get their moment. But the main event? The Las Vegas Raiders: nine new starters, the Max Crosby saga, a generational running back getting hit behind the line, and a #1 overall pick quarterback learning from Kirk Cousins and Tom Brady. Could the Raiders actually be more interesting than we thought?

Oh, and we also have big news about Stramash Live. 

Cameron, Charles and Gordon turn their attention to the AFC South. Cameron's back from Canada (don't worry, he's not becoming a Mountie), Gordon's got Airbnb beef, and Charles is freshly tanned from Lisbon. The lads break down all four division teams, from the Texans' fearsome defense and C.J. Stroud's playoff ceiling, to the Colts' Daniel Jones problem, a Titans rebuild held together by hope, and the Jacksonville Jaguars…stable, dangerous, and sitting on two mouth-watering London games. Can Trevor Lawrence take the next step, or will the Jags bottle it again?

Cameron, Charles and Gordon drag themselves through the AFC East, a division that features two teams rebuilding from the rubble and two teams who are actually pretty good. The Dolphins are ripping the plaster off. The Jets are... the Jets. Geno Smith is their quarterback. Again. Plexico Burress compared playing there to prison, and honestly, fair enough. Meanwhile, the Patriots got A.J. Brown and the Bills got DJ Moore. We discuss all that and more. 

Jamie and Gordon bring you a deep dive into the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Has their offensive line turned the corner? Does the addition of Dexter Lawrence fix their defensive issues? They also briefly discuss outlooks for the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, along with some thoughts about the potential of an NFL game in Scotland after the Tartan Army's exploits in Boston and Miami.

Our esteemed host Paul Mitchell is joined by Ian Steven, Gordon McGuinness, and late addition Charles Paterson to break down two major NFL trades: the Rams acquiring All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett from the Browns for a 2027 first-round pick, Jared Verse, and 2028/2029 picks, and the Eagles trading wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Patriots while saving $50m a 2028 first-round pick. They discuss divisional impacts, the Rams’ win-now window with Matthew Stafford and backup options, and what Jared Verse and A.J. Brown bring to their new teams. The group also reviews NFL UK & Ireland’s England-themed Nike jersey rollout and the shambolic American Express presale communication, before briefly making Scotland World Cup predictions and trying to guess Paul's middle name.

Paul is joined by Gordon and Ian on the podcast to react to the schedule
release and the NFL’s newly expanded international slate and key
calendar talking points.

They discuss 49ers–Rams opening the overseas
run at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Ravens–Cowboys in Rio, the
strongest-looking set of London games in years (Colts–Commanders and
Eagles–Jaguars at Tottenham), and other international matchups in
France, Spain, Germany and Mexico, including concerns about travel,
stadium fit and competitive fairness.

The group debates whether the
NFL’s expansion into more windows and platforms (including Netflix) is
growth strategy or overload, then runs through Thanksgiving and
Christmas scheduling and prime-time assignments, flex rules, and Week 1
matchups—highlighting Bills–Texans as the standout early game—before
closing with notes on London ticket pricing, travel plans, and their
podcast award nomination.

There's a strange knocking from Jamie's basement as The Stramash podcast crew review the 2026 NFL Draft across the AFC, starting with the Las Vegas Raiders taking QB Fernando Mendoza first overall and debating whether he should sit behind Kirk Cousins, plus discussing the Raiders’ other picks and roster-building timeline.

They move through key hauls and talking points for the Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, Texans, Colts. We talk Jaguars consensus board, Titans, Ravens, Bengals and Browns.

Did the Steelers have good draft and what is Gordon's opinions on pencil sharpeners?

We finish with the Bills, Dolphins, Jets and Patriots and drop news of the fixture schedule review podcast.
