Arizona Wildcats Training Camp: Taye Brown and Max Harris

On how Hawaii playing this weekend helps prepare Arizona for next week: 

Brown: “It is definitely huge to see them play a week before. Just to see their tendencies and stuff like that, see how their offensive line is, their receivers… Just seeing all their little tendencies and what they run on these specific downs in these game situations. 

Harris: “Them playing this week is going to help because it’s not about what they had last year. It’s about what they’re going to have this year, so I think there’s no better way to watch the film than to have something from this current year.”

On how pushing each other looks from players standpoint: 

Brown: “I feel like it all started in January when we first got here… We would always be pushing each other being right next to each other… Just challenge each other every single day out on the field, challenge each other to run to the ball to working on our foot work in the box and outside the box just so we can excel at our position.”

On Chase Kennedy moving to the linebacker group:

Brown: “I feel like pass rush is his forte because he’s been doing that since he got to college. I’m taking tips from him. He’s a freak athlete, so I feel like stuff just comes to him naturally. I feel like just working on his foot pattern in the box, and his pass drops and where to go and what your mindset should be in pass drops and what routes you can expect.”

Harris: “They moved Chase off the ball because he can do it. It’s the same thing that I do with Taye or that Taye does with me that we do with each other in the whole linebacker room. We’re going to challenge each other to get out the break faster… Chase is just like another linebacker to me. I don’t necessarily think I don’t know if he can do this. I’m confident in everything Chase can do off the ball. He definitely helps me with my pass rush.”
