When coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the week that the Ravens needed their offensive tackles to play better, it was affirmation of something James Hurst already knew.
Hurst replaced Eugene Monroe at left tackle early in last Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos and he struggled to block DeMarcus Ware, allowing seven quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. Ravens right tackle Rick Wagner had similar problems on the other side dealing with Von Miller.
On Sunday, Hurst and Wagner will again be tested by the Oakland Raiders' edge rushers, a group that includes Khalil Mack and Aldon Smith.
