Lions S Ricardo Silva claims he's gotten faster this offseason. "My agent told me that people were saying last year I was maybe a step slow in this direction or that direction," Silva said. "So that's what I've been focusing on." Silva's trainer believes "Detroit will be in for a great surprise." Silva started six games last season before being benched down the stretch. If all goes to plan for the Lions, Silva shouldn't open 2013 any higher than fourth on the depth chart.
