DeAngelo Hall:

Gruden says "DeAngelo has been a shining start in camp thus far."

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 2, 2014

Running back's pass protection:

Gruden says although RBs have struggled with pass protection in one-on-one drills they're doing much better in practices.

— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) August 2, 2014

Ryan Grant:

Gruden: "Some rookies are basketcases. Some are calm, cool and collected. Grant looks like he's been here 10 years. Murphy is a true pro."

— Zac Boyer (@ZacBoyer) August 2, 2014

Reps for everyone!:

Gruden has worked in a lot of third-stringers in practices. "You won't get a legitimate opportunity to play if you don't get some reps."
