Detroit Lions head coach Rod Marinelli stated RB Tatum Bell has a great opportunity with the Lions this year. "He's in tremendous shape. He's lean and he's fast. He's really got great speed. We just have to be smart with him and work. We're counting on him," Marinelli said. He added that he really respected how Bell handled the 2007 season and noted Bell is now in the running system he was in with the Denver Broncos. Bell, as reported, is competing for the No. 1 tailback duties.
