The Dean Lowry Army

[Harlan Huckleby]

This a real ground floor opportunity. He is a starter on the depth chart, despite an unheralded camp. I loved the guy at Northwestern. Buy low, sell high. Get aboard now!

[Maxie the Taxi]

As one of the first members of the Jeff Janis fan club, and one of the founding members of the Ryan Grant fan club -- two unheralded upandcomers -- I proudly join the Dean Lowry fan club.

[Patler]

Dean who?

[Upnorth]

built like a t-rex. Strong body, short arms.

The extent of my research is one nfl.com scouting article.

So, it's true that they had to shorten his jersey sleeves?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Dean who?

Kampman. Dean Kampman.

[esoxx]

We call him Wally.

[Upnorth]

So, it's true that they had to shorten his jersey sleeves?

I can neither deny nor confirm that rumor, but my inside sources lead me to believe this is true. ( I assume they work inside an office , hence inside sources)

[swede]

I was on this guy since Pigskin Paul said he would throw something at the TV if Lowry wasn't drafted by the end of the 4th quarter. Enter Ted.

The only knock on the guy is his short arms, yet he deflects more footballs than anyone else on his teams. Long arms don't do you any good if you don't get them up like Dean does.

[Patler]

All kidding aside, this will be interesting. Very little has been written or said about him since camp started. Very little positive, very little that was truly negative. Mostly just that he wasn't doing much.

In the world of the internet, this qualifies you as an expert. Speak on.

I see this guy as a developmental project - about useless this year, and maybe ending up in a couple of years somewhere between Mike Daniels and Christian Ringo in terms of contribution and talent.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I know it's just college, but the guy was a dominant player on the Northwestern defense. He moved so well, making plays from end to end. You watched a game, it was clear he was the special player on that defense. His measurables must not be special, as it's odd that such a good football player wasn't drafted higher. I wonder if he'll shock the pro world and be a strong starter later in his rookie season.

His measurables were excellent. One of the better athletes at DL. His arms are amazingly short though. Some teams treat short armed DL like TT treats 5'9" CBs.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Maybe he's a grower and not a shower.

[Bretsky]

I hate Northwestern

Hey, where is the thread for the Abby fan club ? We might re open the membership up soon, albeit at a higher price :))

[Fritz]

I read somewhere that they measured his arms with a ruler, not a yardstick.

[smuggler]

He has 32 inch arms, which is the kind of measurement you find on a 6'1" prospect. I think he'll be fine.

[Patler]

Several sites, including his NFL draft profile, list his arm length at 31". That is short even among the short-armed players like Bulaga, Daniels and Clark.

[Maxie the Taxi]

How long are his legs?

[Patler]

How long are his legs?

I think they go all the way to the ground.

[Harlan Huckleby]

This is the worst fan club ever.

[Maxie the Taxi]

This is the worst fan club ever.Rats are keeping Lowry loyalty at arm's length.

[George Cumby]

This is the worst fan club ever.

Are you trying to strong arm us into joining your club?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Harlan, what this thread needed is arms control.

[pbmax]

I may be reading swede's chart incorrectly, but I think its saying Lowry doesn't have any arms at all.

[pbmax]

You and this joke are very, very old. :lol:

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'll bet people never went online to Babe Ruth's fan club and say he was fat. People were nicer back then.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I may be reading swede's chart incorrectly, but I think its saying Lowry doesn't have any arms at all.

Good point. But if you look closer, he has tiny tiny hands, and they must be attached somewhere.

My lord. He could be in the circus standing next to Madtown and his amazing, bulbous head.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I'll bet people never went online to Babe Ruth's fan club and say he was fat. People were nicer back then.Your instincts are correct. I was the original founder of the Babe Ruth Fan Club and we insisted on courtesy in our internet communications.

[George Cumby]

It's a little known fact that Babe Ruth had the biggest Twitter following from 1927-1933.

HOw was his myspace page?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Dean Lowry will be the hero of this game with a last minute sack for the win!!

[C'mon, Harlan. At least one cheer for our boy.]

[Harlan Huckleby]

hip-hip hooray!

[wootah]

Looks like Marco Rubio is not on the bandwagon, guys :-|


"I'll admit it, he's taller than me," he told a crowd of supporters in Virginia. "He's like 6'2", which is why I don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5'2". "And you know what they say about men with small hands? You can't trust them."

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bob McGinn has filed his first game ratings, and our man did not go unnoticed:

"Dean Lowry also played."

Baby steps.

It seems to me that instead of calling this the Dean Lowry Fan Club, it ought to be called the Dean Lowry Army.

[wootah]

With the signing of Bakh TT made sure there is longterm balance in the limb-to-bodylength-ratio of the team. Thanks Ted.

You think you are so goddamn funny. Funny looking, maybe.

[Maxie the Taxi]

You think you are so goddamn funny. Funny looking, maybe.The name of the Fan Club is OK. Except Harlan should not be President of it. He should be DEAN of the Dean Lowry Fan Club.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I actually loved "The Dean Lowry Army", Fritz's best joke ever, even if that is a low bar. But too late to change the thread title.

edit: I assume you got the pun, Max. Max, Max, wake up, Max.

[Fritz]

Hey! I resemble that remark.

Be careful, Harlan. I'm armed, unlike Dean Lowry.

[Harlan Huckleby]

First string! Finally something for the fan club to cheer about.

nice call on Lowry.

Thanks, of course our hero was briefly at top of McCoach's depth chart last year. This season Mean Dean reaches for the stars.

You know if Lowry were interested in genealogy he'd make a great Dean for the College of Arms.

Short arms Eh !

Big deal this athlete stands 6 feet 6 inches (296 lbs).

Dean Lowry expects to build on strong finish ....Posted Jun 26, 2017

and .... Lowry looking to make big jump in year two

" Hear from Green Bay Packers DE Dean Lowry as he talks about an intense practice and his goals in Year 2. "

Count me in: I am pulling for Dean Lowry.

[3irty1]

The pun material in this club is top notch but I cannot join. I savaged this human vest as a prospect fully exposing myself to Patlerization.

[Harlan Huckleby]

My Lowry loyalty is based completely on seeing him in two college games where he looked very big and active, moving from sideline to sideline. Pillar to post. Badgers couldn't block him.

[Joemailman]

I wonder if Lowry has trouble reaching for his wallet when the check arrives.

[Fritz]

Unlike some of our past defensive linemen, Lowry may be dangerous but he is apparently unarmed.

[mraynrand]

I have to say, Lowry always reminds me of this kid in High School who we called Spider Monkey. Kid could touch his knees without bending his torso. He was a freak of nature, an anti-Dean.

Please tell me he runs a fruit picking company now.

Nah, he was too short. More like this guy:

[Harlan Huckleby]

We in the Dean Lowry Army refers to the long-armed as "knuckle draggers."


(I just remembered some cartoon strip in National Lampoon Magazine, or maybe it was Mad Magazine - some fine journal ion any event. It was a strip about these "siamese twin" brothers who were sheltered inside by their embarrassed parents. They would look out the window at the other kids and yell, "nah, nah, one-zies!")

[SkinBasket]

I'm sad I missed this in it's first iteration. Love the chart thing that says he doesn't have a penis.

[Upnorth]

Had anyone been able to confirm if he did suffer a sprained mcll? Also can anyone confirm if it occurred while trying to touch his toes? Or was he jumping up to reach something off the top shelf?

The legendary Josh Flickinger says it is a sprained MCL.

My sources say MRI revealed no significant damage for Packers DE Dean Lowry's knee. Sprained MCL is diagnosis. Should be fine.
