I don't know what the hell Gruden was thinking when he cut this dude, but I'll chalk it up to the Raiders being the Raiders.
Here's a Mo-Hurst preview from last season to get you excited for this season: Hurst seals the victory for the Raiders last with a pure POWER rush on a 3-man rush. He barrels through 3 blockers with get-off, power, and natural leverage. Feet never stop working. He uses a BEAUTIFUL forklift technique to pry off and control the center's inside hand as he works half man and bulldozes his way to the QB.![]()

Hurst can make some plays and be disruptive, no doubt about it. I'm looking forward to the Niners giving him a fair chance. From what I've seen of Hurst, I can see him doing very well in this scheme and getting plenty of playing time with the rotations, regardless of whether he starts off as the starting 3-tech.
Raiders not only cut him but he had little to no interest from teams in free agency once cut. I think he will be a nice rotational piece but It's hard to imagine him being more than that.
