Quincy Williams and CJ Mosley have to slow down TE George Kittle in Week 1

The New York Jets will rely on lBackers Quincy Williams and CJ Mosley to slow down San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle in Week 1.

Williams and Mosley will have to work together to neutralize Kittle on the middle and lower pass routes. With the help of defensive end Jermaine Johnson and a tenacious pass rush, the Jets should be able to successfully stop the 49ers' passing attack.

With 1.88 m and 105 kg weight, Mosley has the size to physically challenge Kittle at the line of scrimmage. Williams, on the other hand, is agile and quick, allowing him to alternately force 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver Debo Samuel out of the backfield.

On paper, the Jets are extremely evenly matched with the 49ers. If Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich decides to blitz, it will be interesting to see if 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy can stay composed and accurate. The tenacity of the Jets defense could lead to some crucial turnovers in this matchup.

Williams and Mosley will be key players if the Jets want to maintain the upper hand on Monday Night Football in Week 1.
