Timberwolves, Vikings, Gophers football and Wild: H & H Podcast #FOX9Minneapolis

Timberwolves Talk: As preseason wraps up, Ahmad says for the Wolves to take the next step, rookie Rob Dillingham needs to earn more minutes and prove he belongs in the league. Henry believes Terrence Shannon Jr. could be the key — locking up opposing scorers and knocking down shots from deep — all while Anthony Edwards continues to elevate this team in a stacked Western Conference.

Vikings Outlook: Coming off the bye, the QB situation remains cloudy. Both J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz are scheduled to speak this week, leaving everyone guessing who will start against the Eagles. Ahmad thinks this is the perfect time to face Philly after two straight losses, but Henry warns that if Minnesota can’t stop the run, it could be a long night.

Gophers Football: After a comeback win over Purdue, neither host was impressed. With a ranked Nebraska up next, Ahmad challenges P.J. Fleck to win games that matter — not just beat the bottom teams — pointing out his 3-18 record vs. Top 25 opponents and average of 7 wins per season.

Plus: Thoughts on the Wild’s 2-2 start, and reflections on the tragic passing of singer D’Angelo — a reminder of the importance of taking care of your health.
