AP Poll Is A Disaster, Christian McCaffrey Holding In for 49ers, Dallas Cowboys Trade is Incoming

On this action-packed episode of The Drake Toll Show, host Drake Toll dissects the evolving narratives across college football and the NFL. The broadcast opens with a look at the historic AP Preseason Poll, which sees the Big Ten assert total dominance with Ohio State and Oregon taking the top two spots. The focus then shifts to the NFL, where Drake investigates the growing speculation regarding Christian McCaffrey’s "tightness"—questioning whether the star is nursing an injury or staging a strategic contract "hold-in" following the recent reset of the running back market. The episode also tackles the fallout from the Falcons' preseason opener, including Tua Tagovailoa’s frustrating debut and commentary on Sean Payton's recent remarks. Later, the "Obits" segment provides a critical look at running back situations across the league, ranging from Breece Hall to Jeremiyah Love. Featuring expert insight from Texas Tech analyst Chris Level, the show delivers sharp, fast-paced sports analysis. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
