"The Jaguars' new strength and conditioning staff isn't putting all of its emphasis on the weight room.

"The athletes have to be prepared to play the game. I think fitness is the most important aspect for football,'' said Tom Myslinski, a former Jaguars player who was named to head coach Mike Mularkey's staff last month.

And fitness, Myslinski said, involves more than just lifting weights.

"I know I made that mistake. I thought I could do everything in the weight room as a player and what I realized is you have to be in shape to play the game so fitness is a big part of it,'' he said."
