Track Dee Ford's Trillions
 

The Trillion is a quasi-stat originating from basketball. Grantland writer, and former tOSU benchwarmer, Mark Titus is most famously associated with the stat, but I remember reading about it in SI more than 15 years ago.

Here's how it works: if a player gets into a game and accrues no stats, his stat sheet will read with his minutes played followed by 12 zeros, thus a trillion. Many scrubs have been known to accrue fouls just to avoid the Trillion.

I believe that Dee Ford has been active for every game this season. If that is the case, he has 12 games played, He has accrued stats in two of them. That means that in 10/12 games, Dee has racked up the ignominious stat.

Thus, I propose that we give Dee Ford a new nickname: National Debt.

First I heard of this was during the Pitt/KSU game in Maui three days ago.

his first step though.....

We saw it in full effect against Frank Gore...

He needs it to get Nachos for Andy Reid before Priest eats them all

Not to be a dick, but Gholston beasted at the Trillion. Once led Mecca to label him a decoy. Ford seems to be a similar player.

He'd better get it together by the first game next year. Hali is gone. He needs to step it up.

If only he had a second.

he is growing steadily and progressing

The Jets were at least smart enough to deactivate him for several games his rookie year, and his 13 tackles as a rookie looks like it is going to far outpace Ford.

At least Tyson Jackson and Dorsey played and sucked in their first year. This guy can't even get on the field.

Who?

I wish Ford was as impressive as an NFL player as Gholston.

Ford will be fine.

I actually think he might. Doesn't strike me as a replacement for Hali, though, if that is supposed to be the plan.
