MIAMI GARDENS - The Miami Dolphins have a snapping problem.

They are aware.

"Yeah, I mean obviously that's something that's just a process that we have to go through," Dolphins offensive line coach Butch Barry said Thursday. "Obviously I want it to be better and cleaner at all times. And if it's not perfect, it's not good enough is how I view it. But I also understand that there's a learning curve with all of it. And as long as we're making progress in the right direction, it's something that it's not as simple..."

Barry got into the challenge of a 350-pounder across from center "trying to mess you up."

In recent years, there was some panic about the snapping of departed guard-turned-center Connor Williams.

But Williams sort of sorted it out.

This year, there may be some early panic about the snapping of guard/center Aaron Brewer and others, such as Jack Driscoll and Ireland Brown.

"Snap issues used to just trigger me to all end," Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. "Now the process, I still get triggered, but it’s really fast because it is a part of the process that you that you have to understand when you have quarterbacks and centers and guards playing with different people at the beginning of the camp and you’re using multiple snap counts and you’re going against multiple looks, it is something that I’m used to."

Miami Dolphins training camp features too many bad snaps

McDaniel says the greatest red flags come when the same players continue to make the same mistakes.

McDaniel's approach? Just get it fixed.

And work to fix it, the Dolphins are.

Brewer, the starting center, said he grew more comfortable snapping in Tennessee as last season progressed.

He will, of course, take extra snaps with Tua.

"You’ve got to think I didn’t play a full season at center since probably I was in middle school," Brewer said earlier in training camp. "Even when I was in high school, I was always switching center, guard, tackle, going to every one. Just having that full season of being a center and just getting that repetition and the reps, I got more comfortable in just learning my style of play with being at center.”

Tackle Terron Armstead offered a veteran perspective on snapping.

"The start is Tua and ‘AB’ (Brewer) getting more time on task, get more reps," Armstead said. "It’s different. I was actually talking to Tua about it yesterday. He was kind of explaining the difference between ‘AB’s’ snap point compared to Connor (Williams) or Liam (Eichenberg), it’s all different. So maybe he has to squat or reach, but that only comes with time. The more they get those reps, which they are and those will get cleaned up and disappear. But early in camp you’ll see some mishaps like that and some operational issues.”

The extra work is happening.

"Well, I mean, it's always a concern," Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith said. "You know, you waste reps when you don't make that first basic connection. You know, it's Football 101. It's something that we're working really hard on right now."

Barry, the offensive line coach, believes it will happen. And he believes live action-snapping in upcoming joint practices and pre-season games are key.

"There's a point where it it feels right," Barry said. "I would say probably if you guys golf, similar to when you just kind of feel your golf swing in the right way."
