Isn't Mortenson Chris Mortenson's son? Are they trying to get better press from him?

Mortensen's son is Alex Mortensen, who enrolled at Georgia Southern this year. source for that is the atlanta journal-constitution, 12/30/05.
interestingly, i found 3 chris mortensens playing QB in colleges. one was nsigned this season as a UFA by the Detriot Lions. one is a QB at BYU. and a 3rd just finished his ssenior season at USD in san diego.
have mercy.

Earl Charles was one of those workout wonder types. He was never a big name throughout his career at Marshall but really wowed scouts with his strength at his pro day. He could be a good short yardage power back for us down the road, with his thick legs and compact body.
Info I found:
POSITIVES: Tough, inside-running ballcarrier who combines vision and instincts to get the job done. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and runs with an aggressive style. Bounces it around piles, drives up the field and picks up yardage off initial contact. Falls forward when tackled and works runs. Carries the ball with good balance.
NEGATIVES: Not an explosive runner that can turn it on or run away from opponents. Cannot immediately change direction or create. Lacks the soft and natural hands as a receiver.
ANALYSIS: A hard-working interior ballcarrier that does the little things well, Charles lacks the size/speed numbers to be anything more than a situational back at the next level.

Also Michael Wright, who has backed up Wilfork, was put on IR and Santonio Thomas, DE, was moved to the Active roster from the PS. Thomas might surprise, but losing Wright is unfortunate.

Bummer about Wright, he's been a good addition and looked decent on tape. Thomas had some good reports from the Patsfans TC reporters before he got hurt.
But Miami lost defensive tackle Santonio Thomas and guard Tyler McMeans to knee injuries. Coach Larry Coker said yesterday that both injuries might be season-ending. Thomas, a senior, had three tackles for loss and a sack in six games this year.

We had Charles in training camp, and never even offered him a PS spot, even when Eckel and Chapman got signed. Makes me wonder.
