The Facts:
Jones recently spent time at a workout camp in Scottsdale, Ariz. He dropped 10 pounds -- from 239 to 229 -- and intends to start the season at 225. That's about five pounds lighter than his playing weight last year. Jones also said he likes Rod Marinelli's discipline and structure. Steve Mariucci had a much more relaxed approach. "I thought it was too loose," Jones said. "I like it this way. This is what I'm used to."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Another coaching change is more subtle but might have an impact on Jones. Tom Rathman, his position coach the last two years, was one of Jones' biggest backers. But Rathman played fullback in the NFL. Wilbert Montgomery, the new RBs coach, played tailback -- the same position as Jones. Montgomery sees the game from a tailback's perspective. "He sees the game a little different than Tom," Jones said.
