A friend who's a diehard Hawks fan who lived here for years said he only expects Lynch to get a handful of carries, but his mere presence coming out of the tunnel will send the fans into a frenzy the way the sight of Deuce running out of the tunnel in 09 did for us.
And hey, anyone who's available to be signed at this point in the season is going to be available for a reason (they're not great), so why not sign the guy who will fire up the crowd with his mere presence?
I doubt Lynch is going to come straight off the couch into a workhorse role in his first game back. It is a big game so we can only hope that he has one of those vintage beast mode performances.
