The Facts:
Lions OC Mike Martz has been impressed with the team's rushing game so far in camp -- especially what he's seen of Bell. Martz said Bell has, in some ways, been a surprise to him. "Tatum right now is a different level," Martz said. "He's better than I thought he'd be, to be honest with you."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Martz, who also said good things about Brian Calhoun, went on to say "[Bell] is the whole package. ... He's got so much juice to him. He can go. He's taken our offense and learned it so well. He doesn't make any mistakes. He's catching the ball extremely well. He's playing at such a high level right now. ..." And why might Martz be so excited? Speed. Bell is fast and Martz is -- and always has been -- a sucker for speed (see Trung Canidate). ... We'll remind you this is the first week of training camp. It's a good starting point but it's not the final word.
