The Dolphins thought enough of Seattle's Mack Strong that the Pro Bowl fullback was offered a three-year contract that included a $500,000 signing bonus, the Tacoma News-Tribune reported. Strong instead accepted a three-year, $3.1 million contract from the Seahawks that included the same signing bonus.

It's believed that Mueller's familiarity with Strong from when he worked in Seattle's front office was a major reason for the Dolphins' interest. After being snubbed, the Dolphins signed former San Francisco fullback Fred Beasley to a one-year contract Friday.

Who do you like more, Strong or Beasley(who we signed)?
 
Beasely is pretty damn good, but he doesn't compare to Mack Strong. Mack Strong is a beast, and has been underrated for Shawn Alexander's success for a while now. That guy is a monster and he loves to block and hit.

Me too, plus Strong will be 35 when the season starts. Beasley will be 32 when the season starts and he is a better all around FB. I wonder why Strong was plan A.
 
common the name says it all Mack Strong

Strong's a young 35 though. He's the absolute best guy you want in front of you leading the way at FB if your a running back.
 
hmm interesting. apparently miami is looking to be like Shawks all around team but stronger on D.

Nothing against Strong, but Sammy Morris and him are almost the same.Beasley can bust open holes for Ronnie.Beasley is a beast and now he is on a good team he will show it.

I do think Beasley is a better blocker...speaking of blocking doesnt get better than Ronnie at picking up the blitz..
 
Strong and that line made Alexander look great for years. Dont get me wrong, Alexander is a great back, but he has tons of help and lacks the athleticism of both Ronnie and Ricky. Strong is elite, but Beasley is younger and awesome as well. Tough call. I say put Ronnie in at FB in the iform in front of Ricky on certain downs.
 
I like Beasley, and I'm not just saying that because we signed him. I really like Mack Strong (great name for a fullback) but he has been in the NFL for 14 seasons. I also feel that Beasley is the better all around fullback. He can catch, run and block.
 
Give me Strong if I have the choice. Beasley is damned good and is probably better as a receiver, but Strong is a huge part of Alexander's success and the reputation that the left side of the Seahawks OL had.
 
its really either for me. i would have loved to have seen either in a fins uniform.
